I'd rather see a sermon, than hear one any day

 There was a poem that as a student of Coaches Corner Pickleball school I had to memorize.  Here is a little video I put together to help with the strategy to memorize it.  That poem is all about not being the kind of coach who doesn't practice what he preaches.  I mean it's like a spiritual leader who commits serious transgression while preaching to people about the damnation of it.

Yesterday I really expressed how strongly I feel about breathing right off the wall after doing a flip-turn, or right off the blocks and into the finish.  With all that in mind, I made sure that I followed that same charge for every single turn in today's workout.  My mind was soft on one turn and I had one goof up.  Which out of over a hundred flip turns, is a 99%.  Need to do better and get 100%  But here is today's workout:
