Pickleball isn’t just about winning points — it’s about mindset, playmaking, and the people you share the court with.

In this episode of Dawg & Pizzle, Rob and Marc sit down with Blake (“Big Dill”), a coach and community builder who’s helped grow pickleball from the ground up. From beginners stepping on the court for the first time to experienced players trying to level up, Blake shares what actually leads to improvement — and what most players get wrong.

We talk about:

• Why placement beats power
• How speeding up too early loses points
• The importance of drilling, not just playing
• Coaching beginners vs higher-level players
• Creating an inclusive pickleball community
• Keeping the joy in the game

Whether you’re new to pickleball or chasing the next level, this episode is packed with real strategy, honest perspective, and reminders of why we all started playing in the first place.

No scripts. No filters. No soft dinks.
