What a 5.0 Pickleball Gold Medal Match Sounds Like

Big upgrade hearing the match from the players perspective. Plus showing a game where you were not the victor gives a true flavor of the poise shown during the game. Great seeing you guys playing last weekend!

Love the be an athlete line, going to use that. Y’all got tight, I want some more pump up. Don’t be afraid to get loud out there and have fun.

Great job, really enjoyed this - looking forward to more videos! The wind seemed to be a factor on some of the shots. Keep it up👍👍

"be an athlete" ahhahah

Yall are good partners together.

Just cus you remind yourselves you’re athletes doesn’t make it a real sport

Awesome to meet you that day, unfortunately didn't get to watch any of your matches. Keep on killing it.

Real good game guys! Sorry you came out on the short end of that, but that was fun to watch.
Enjoyed the ‘mic’d up’ aspect of this game. Shea, great attitude and sportsmanship! People can learn a lot from not only your instructional vids, but the spirit of how to be competitive.

Great Match thanks for posting. Super fun battling you guys all day. See you in Cali?

Great vid guys. Great for the brand 😉

frick I am not saying "be an athlete Bro" nearly enough to make it past 4.0

No 5.0’s talk like this

silver 5.0 you're getting there!

Your boy tries to drive too much.

He’s like, “Dude, are you serious?” when the ball hit the net and rolled over, as if he’s never done that before. Nice makes sense.

Cmon: “Be an athlete!” ”bad for the brand, bro”? That’s not partnering! ONE minute in, and I wouldn’t want to partner with him!

third shots a resets have too much loft on them. try and keep them lower. good game btw!

If I wasn’t sure pickleballers are athletes, I sure am now 😂. Love it!

why y'all sound so soft tho 🤡

Awesome being mic up. Terrific game. "Be an athlete."

Nice spin serve

You guys sound like tools

its bad for the brand bro

The effects of that spin serve (from orange) last into the bounce before the third shot.

“Ba an athlete.” 😂 It’s PB bro. No athleticism required. That’s a feature of the game, not a bug.

Awesome video!

Can I ask you what ball you prefer for advanced play? Thank you.

5.0 😂😂😂

Not the outcome you were looking for but awesome video and match

Great with the mics☺️

"be an athlete" feels like one of those meaningless sports cliches like "do your job". Like, at best it's just something to say, but at worst you're hard on yourself if you're doing bad as if you're not "being an athlete"

5.0 games appear so simple, meaning lots of dinks and fewer drives. my 3.5 games, we just play tennis lol, drives lobs and drops.

Blue shorts has crazy hands

Do more of these! It's definitely more entertaining than it not being mic'd. Was it awkward to wear that mic, btw? "Be an athlete." Lol. Remind me - where did that phrase start as a thing?

LOL definitely not 5.0's. Anywhere between 3.5-4.0 if that lol.

Need a Bingo card for every "stick to the gameplan" iteration

I’ve seen Kyle’s vids a lot. Surprised how many times he was hitting into net this game towards the clutch

2.0 at best

trash

Why does he keep telling his partner to be an athlete? White people crack me up😅

What a CA 4.0 Pickleball Gold Medal Match Sounds Like

I did enjoy the opportunity to hear your team encouragement and strategizing. I do NOT dink, or reset as well as you 4. What I’m curious about is why so many short serves, why is there not much variation of serves; pace, placement, spin, depth and height? Great 3rd shot drops, but every time?? Wouldn’t it make sense to keep opponents guessing with a rocket topspin drive every so often on 3rd shot, then 5th shot drop…or shake n bake if your drives give you that opportunity. I’m interested I guess to understand the absence of variety in order to avoid predictability. Great job though.

Tell the guy in red to "be an athlete" when he misses his shots, as well.

Dude with the mic- “Ya?”
Other guy - “Ya”

What was with the chainsaw serves???

Omg… the “be an athlete” comments are so annoying I would have thrown my paddle at him!

Even in this short time frame, the game has changed and Kyle's game has evolved, too. It looks like the spin serve was still allowed. More recent videos of Kyle show his signature athletic leaps across the kitchen to take high balls out of the air. I would have found mics to be a little distracting, but they make great video.

Thanks for being here on this Road to Pro with me 🙏
