  • Favorite player

    I was sitting around with friends the other day when someone asked, “who’s your favorite pickleball player and who deserves the most respect?”

    A couple of top names were mentioned, but without hesitation i answered “Tony Roig!”

    I absolutely love your podcast, book, and training- not just for becoming a better pickleball player, but for getting more enjoyment out of the game and life in general.

    Keep up the great work! I’ll continue to tell more and more of my friends to listen, learn, and en... more

  • Ring

    I mostly like this podcast but that introductory phone ring is so annoying. Maybe a couple low volume dink sounds would do.

  • Great podcast

    I started playing pickleball in February of 2026. I’m finding great information about the game and this podcast is really helping my game play. Implementing it in my game is so helpful. Tony is so great to listen to. I can’t wait to meet him someday and talk about how I’m improving.

  • This is a very good podcast, published regularly, that deals with the mental side of pickleball. It is great for people who are struggling with the meaning of the game. Yes, Tony and his guests sometimes talk about more specific skills regarding pickleball, but they mainly stick to the mental part. They talk about keeping the game in perspective, ways to mentally frame the game so that you don't get mad at yourself. This is a great game when you learn to keep it completely in perspective.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Special TRP Episode - Third Shot to Rec Play - Answering your Pickleball Questions
Q: How should I approach open/drop-in play with variable partners?
Be mindful of your partner's comfort and communicate; use a conservative, space-creating style to avoid crowding a partner, and work on projecting a positive, coaching-friendly presence to improve teamwork in rec play.
Special TRP Episode - Third Shot to Rec Play - Answering your Pickleball Questions
Q: If I'm a beginner and I don't use a third shot drop, what should I focus on instead?
Prioritize returns and court positioning: learn to return effectively, stay alive longer in rallies, and develop solid defensive and offensive options before layering in the third shot drop as you reach around 4.0 level.
Special TRP Episode - Third Shot to Rec Play - Answering your Pickleball Questions
Q: How tightly should you hold your paddle?
Keep grip pressure light and consistent, aiming for about a three on a ten-point scale. A lighter grip protects the forearm and allows better touch and power without sacrificing control.
Special Episode - Rallying at the Rally House with Nick Dawson
Q: What are the core training pillars and how are they used in programming camps?
The three pillars are mechanical, strategic, and athletic; camps start with the athletic pillar using visualization techniques to prime players for executing technical and tactical content.
Special Episode - Rallying at the Rally House with Nick Dawson
Q: How does the facility leverage technology to help players improve and share their progress?
We record every session across all courts, use AI to trim dead time, produce a concise video, identify the top rallies, and email them to players for easy social sharing and self-review.
