A Brief Break and a Strong Return

Waters, who has been in impressive form following her recent Triple Crown success in Las Vegas, took a short but necessary break to recharge. Despite her intense training regimen and physical therapy, she embraced the time off to rest and recuperate.

“I definitely wanted to train and get better, but I was pretty exhausted after playing in Vegas, so my personal trainer and physical therapist were like, ‘Ok, you’re taking this entire week off.’ Of course I did some physical therapy stuff, some pool workouts, stuff like that, but I honestly didn’t touch a pickleball until two days ago. I was excited about the break, but I was definitely excited to come back and play pickleball. I was getting a little bored not being able to play the sport that I love.” – (Waters)
