I Took a Private Lesson with Jay Devilliers (42 Minutes of Raw Footage)

I drove to Naples Florida to take a private lesson with Jay Devilliers. One of pickleball's top pro players that's been around the game since the beginning with years of knowledge and experience!

In this 42-minute raw, unedited lesson, Jay walks me through how the best players approach speed-ups, aggressive dinking, court positioning, and anticipating their opponent's next shot.

One of my biggest takeaways was learning how to attack with a purpose instead of just trying to hit winners.

I left this lesson with a much better understanding of how to set up my attacks and prepare for the next ball. I hope you learn as much from this lesson as I did!
