There’s plenty to focus on when you’re injured and it’s way more than just rehab.

I tore the meniscus in my knee 2 weeks ago and I am already on the road to recovery. Follow along if you want to see:
1. How I’m eating to heal faster
2. How I’m training to come back faster
3. Why I believe it’s even possible ✝️

My goal is to come back with the weakness that caused this fixed, as well as the long list of nagging things I’ve compiled over the years playing competitive sports and working

1. Posture
2. Back mobility and strength
3. Core stability
4. Feet mobility and strength
5. Shoulder mobility and strength
6. Glute strength
7. Wrist strength

Comment which exercises you want me to isolate first. 🐀✅

Right when I thought I was getting back to 100% we go back to square one 🤷‍♂️

Provs was still fun, shoutout to my partners @golfer_kev and @skeraiff for playing/supporting me in backing out when we did 🤕🤙

I’m gonna have some time off my feet to start building content on here. For those of you who don’t know my history in photography, I used to do a ton of content @keaton_kirchner. So I figure it’s time to jump back in.

Nutrition, Gameplay, Tutorials, Training, I think we’re gonna try it all. Thanks to all of you who reached out and have been giving me recommendations on who to see and what to do to get on the mend. Rehabs already begun. We’re gonna come back stronger 💪

This is your sign to start filming more games (well mainly my sign) 🎥

I didn’t film enough my first winter, but I love getting random clips from Vihn at the Hubs after games 😆. Relive some crazy points from last winter. My camera’s gonna be out more so I don’t have to request the security footage this winter 😜

Win or lose my favourite part is hearing the screams of Paul, Vihn, and Jon after the point is over 😆 by @keatspickleball

POV: The training plan that’s gonna get me to 5.0

You’ve heard of @pickleballonice but have you heard of “pickle ball on water” ? 🌊

Also @franklinpickleball I think we might need some more balls and possibly a paddle after mine may have ended up at the bottom of the lake 😅💛

Comment if you wanna come to the lake to try this. P.S. you must be able to hold a rally for more than 5 shots 😆🙃

Welcome to my new page

If you don’t know me, my names Keaton and I’m from Edmonton Alberta. I’ve officially been playing pickle for a yr now and can say it’s still only getting more exciting as I play. Playing with and against some of the pros this past week was a blast! A new bar has been set…

Like most things, I’m driven to reach the top. So, while I medaled in a few 4.5 events, to me this is just an another step before moving up.

The pickle community is just like spikeball (my previous sport). Players across all spectrums have been inviting and excited to see a younger player enter the sport. Seeing all these teenagers playing at the highest level does not make me feel young tho… The majority of players I know are older than me, but I’ve got some work to do as I’m still starting this sport late 😉.

Special thanks to my partner in men’s doubles RR @mackonner_pb 🥉

Men’s doubles DE @hoffyu 🙃

My mixed partner @anyarat_surin 🥉

The big guy upstairs for keeping me healthy throughout all 6 back to back events 😅 and the blessing it is to complete and travel ✝️

And all of the people I had the pleasure of meeting/competing against. I learned a lot and can’t wait to come back with some more tricks up my sleeve next time 😏

Pray before you Play,

Keats
