They are resolve and you can get on for FREE still.. Remember Aug. 1 is the big MEMBERSHIP leap. Those of you wanting access to the Library files will have to choose a reward program at www.Patreon.com/pickleballcpr]]>Tue, 18 Jul 2017 13:34:41 GMThttp://pickleballcpr.com/blog---beat/a-new-beginningI've launched the Patreon Rewards support page and I am hopeful that you CPR pickleball follower will help me achieve my goals. One of the most important reasons for a rewards sponsor ship is to help me keep this page up and running. Everything takes money and time. I have the time and but doing something for free gets to be costly. I love sharing but it's about the bottom line all the time. Your support is greatly appreciated and I hope you will be on that Patron list too. Thanks for your support and blessings.]]>Fri, 14 Jul 2017 14:32:20 GMThttp://pickleballcpr.com/blog---beat/july-14th-2017Super excited about the next step for teaching and sharing PickleballCPR Drills. Look for it on the CPR video clinic tab. I'll be working to get sponsors for the development and sustaining efforts to produce and support this page. Your patronage is appreciated for the work I am creating for you and the pickleball community. Please help me continue this journey. It takes a lot of time and effort to create these videos. I hope to expand the library with so much more. From interview, live teaching clinic video and more. Thanks for your support and look for the new page soon on the CPR video clinic Tab.]]>Mon, 10 Jul 2017 19:48:33 GMThttp://pickleballcpr.com/blog---beat/july-10th-201719 and counting
​​If you have been watching this page, first I thank you and hope you have been learning about pickleball and getting into a practicing habit. I've posted 19 views to date ranging from information on ball contact, short hop drills as my latest to drop shots. I'm enjoying the process and it keeps me in the swing. Pun intended! I hope to continue to give informative information to the pickleball world. On the radar or not I enjoy teaching and plan to continue the process. Videos are starting to take a little long to produce as the summer season is here up north. But I'll do my best to keep your drill thirst quenched. Please drop me a line or check out my Facebook page under my name and ask to join the group. Would love to have you get on the feed and subscribe.
​Blessings to all and Happy Drilling!

One to another state where the people were warm and inviting with the "Yes, Mam and Yes, Sir" in conversation. A slower paced life to some extent but a Birmingham is on the rise. A city of historical significance and strength.
​The food was good and the southern hospitality was amazing.
​We had time to tour after we played pickleball. It's a walkable town. Although I never realized how hilly it would be.
​I was reconnected with some friends I've made through the USAPA and even had the opportunity to say hello to other Ohio players. Heck, you go a long distance to play the same people in some of these tourneys when you could have just played them at home. NO... really the experience of going is what it was all about. Good times and good people.
​Thanks, Birmingham Alabama for a great venue and wonderful hospitality. Just hope I can continue to play and make it again. Maybe Albuquerque NM in two years. ]]>Thu, 25 May 2017 23:24:20 GMThttp://pickleballcpr.com/blog---beat/wild-and-wackyWith the ups and downs of a knee replacement back in October and the Manipulation in April, May has been a rocky road for my game. Been in PT for another month and have been given the good to go and move on. Still some swelling but I'm hoping that in time that it will dissipate and return to a NEW normal. But until then I'll be doing my best and getting ready to go my first Senior Olympic Nationals down in Birmingham, Alabama.
​Excited to see how it all works and eager to play some fun teams. Going to have fun and anything more than that is icing on the cake. We hope to be our best and enjoy the competition as well as the venue of play.
​Never been to 'Bama and am looking forward to it.
​So here's to a new adventure on a new set of knees.
​Blessing and good day
