Welcome to the first episode of Rise to 5.5! 🎾🔥
After nearly two years of playing pickleball, I’ve fallen head over heels for this incredible sport. Coming from a high-level soccer background, pickleball has reignited my competitive spirit. Originally, my goal was to reach a 4.0 DUPR, but as my game improved, I decided to aim higher.
Currently sitting at a 4.92 DUPR, a journey to 5.0 wouldn’t take long. So, I’m setting an even bigger goal: reaching a 5.5 DUPR—the level required for many qualifying pros. Along the way, I’ll also be helping my partner, Mitch (currently 4.4), on his road to 5.0.
In this series, I’ll document every step of the way:
✅ Tournament highlights
✅ Training routines
✅ Wins, losses, and key lessons
✅ My roadmap to competing at the highest levels
This is going to be an exciting journey, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. Whether you’re chasing your own pickleball goals or just love the game, hit that Subscribe button and join me as we rise to the next level.
Let’s make this a journey to remember! 🚀
