Teaching Pickleball Players How to Move Better, Play Longer, and Stay Injury-Free

Movement Training is the missing link in pickleball performance. Coaches, trainers, and facilities can now bridge the gap between skill and physical readiness.

Pickleball players are getting injured at alarming rates... Here’s why:

  • As players spend more time on the court, their reaction time naturally improves.

  • But their responsiveness—how their body physically executes that reaction—hasn’t been trained.

  • The result? Stumbles, overuse injuries, and unnecessary joint stress.

Movement training solves this gap. It helps players create automatic, good movement that supports their game, prevents injuries, and builds longevity on and off the court.

About The Creators— Lindsey & Anthony Passamonte

With over 30 years of combined experience as sports performance coaches, we’ve dedicated our careers to helping people move better, perform stronger, and stay injury-free. Early in our journey with pickleball, we immediately saw a gap: while players were sharpening their skills, they lacked the foundational movement training their bodies needed to keep up. The result? A growing number of injuries that could—and should—be prevented.

That’s why we created this course, built on our TRAX Method philosophy—a 360° approach to movement and functional training for the adult population. Our mission is to teach movement first, so players can enjoy performance and longevity in their sport and their life.

In our courses, we teach science-backed functional movement strategies tailored for pickleball, while also showing coaches and trainers how to truly connect with the active adult population.

Pickleball is at the forefront of a major shift in the fitness industry, where educating people on how to move is just as important as teaching the game itself. By focusing on movement first, we can decrease injuries, keep adults independent, and ensure they continue doing what they love—for life.
