Stop Trying to Win Every Shot

One of the fastest ways to make pickleball harder as a beginner is trying to hit every ball past your opponent. Instead, focus on keeping the serve in, returning with control, getting into a useful court position and making your opponent play another ball. Consistency gives you more rallies. More rallies give you more opportunities to recognize situations, improve your movement and learn which shots work.
