About

Two players walking off a court with paddles

Hello, I’m Joanne

I took up pickleball at fifty-six, and within a month I had a sore shoulder and a wobbly lunge. Instead of giving up, I started warming up properly and practising the small things: my footwork, my balance and my shoulder. Now I play nearly every morning.

Everything I post is what I do and teach in my own group: a short warm-up, a few footwork drills, balance work you can do on a bench and easy band work for the shoulders. None of it is hard. It just has to be done often.

The posts are free. What I sell is the part you can print and bring to the court: cards, drill sheets and plans, a full guide and two video courses.

Questions

How do I get my download?

After checkout you receive an email with a download link, and the same link is shown on the confirmation page. Every card, sheet and guide is a PDF made to print on ordinary A4 or Letter paper.

How does merch shipping work?

Every item is printed to order and shipped by Printful. The cost and the delivery time show at checkout, and you get a tracking link when it is on its way.

I have never done any fitness. Can I start?

Yes. Every drill starts at the easiest level and has a way to make it harder when you are ready. The first week is just the warm-up.

Do I need any equipment?

A light resistance band and a wall or a fence to hold are enough to begin. Everything else is your own body and a little floor space.

I have a sore shoulder or a bad knee. Is this safe for me?

I am a coach, not a doctor. Talk to your doctor before you start, and stop if anything hurts. Tell me in a reply if a move does not suit you and I will suggest another way to do it.

How often does the letter come, and how do I leave?

One every Wednesday. Every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom, and it works at once.
