Focusing on the score can distract you from obtaining the best results for your game. Focus instead on the next rally or, better yet, the next shot. The results - the score - will come.

In the riff, I share some thoughts about the multiple facets of pickleball - there is more than just the third shot.

Sherlock Holmes made “elementary” cool. The most seemingly complex situation is rendered elementary once you have the right perspective on it.

Pickleball is much the same. It is a complex interrelationship of rules that create a framework in which we play the game. But, once you understand them, then navigating the game becomes elementary.

What happens to many of us is that we try to match perceived complexity with complexity in our game. We want to learn that shot which will unlock the game for us. There is no such thing.

Once you see the game, you will understand that it is won not with the fancy or complex shots. It is won by better execution of the simple shots. That is the key to this game: elementary.

PLUS, in the riff I share some tips so that you can stay on the path to your improvement.

There is only so much information you can take in at a time. Less even once you think use “apply it” as compared to just taking it in.

To get the most out of your work, make sure it is actually becoming part of your game. Reading a WeArePickleball blog post is good. But applying that same knowledge to your game and yourself out there – now that is awesome. That is where the magic happens.

In this episode we discuss how to prepare your cup to receive new information and, importantly, apply it.

I was reminded this week about how negativity can affect the way we interpret information that is otherwise aiming to be helpful. It can also affect your mind when you are trying to play your best pickleball. Two things can happen: 1 - you are focusing on the negatives rather than the positives - if instead you change your focus on the positives you will allow them to crowd out the negatives and 2 - your mind ignores the term "no" - just doesn't know what to do with it. This means that when you say "Don't hit the net" your mind hears "Hit the net."

That is the opposite of what you want to feed your brain. In this episode of Pickleball Therapy we address this common limitation we impose on ourselves.

In the riff, we answer a listener question about falling behind in games and give you some specific tips to help you avoid falling ehind, particularly in a tournament or there competitive setting.

Pickleball Therapy - Learning HOW TO Pickleball vs. a Piecemeal Approach
play

02/16/24 • 15 min

In this episode we take a recipe approach to pickleball. There's nothing wrong with following a recipe but if you're going to use this approach, you would need to have the recipe in front of you in order to be able to bake a cake.

If you're like me, you'll have to look back at the recipe probably several times while baking just to make sure you cover all the steps.

This explains why the recipe approach is a very limiting way to develop your skills as a pickleball player because situations change while playing.

Let's look at the opposite- actually learning how to bake. If you learn how to bake, you would be able to put together a cake recipe because of your knowledge of the ingredients that are in your cupboard.

Step back and evaluate the sport's big picture, learn how to pickleball.

Listen to this episode for the full analogy and to understand how those ingredients come together on the pickleball court.

Players often struggle to recognize what occurred in the rallies they played. It’s through recognition that we can make adjustments as we move forward in our play.

A lot of times players have difficulty recognising or relating to what just occurred in the rally they just played. For instance, who hit what shot, where was the ball hit and things like that. It even includes sometimes players having difficulty remembering that they hit a particular shot.

Start working on recognizing what's going on on the pickleball court as you play and what you need to improve to help you fix flaws. That will do the most lifting to help you elevate your game, advance your play and play better.

We need to recognize we hit the shot, where we hit the shot and then recognize how the shot compares to the shot that made the most sense.

Recognition as a skill is something that you can work on, improve and build on. And you know what's the key? To start with one shot.

Pickleball Therapy - Doing the Best You Can Do PLUS Incremental Growth- Part 1
play

04/12/24 • 18 min

This week we go deep in defining our metrics to analyze games we've played. How do we ask questions or frame ourselves in a correct and more constructive way of thinking about performance?

Start working on asking yourself, did I do the best that I could in that situation from my performance standpoint?

And as always, thanks for joining us on Pickleball Therapy - the podcast dedicated to your pickleball improvement. If you have not yet subscribed to the podcast ... wait what?? you haven't subscribed? ... you know what to do.

In this episode I'll also read to you a story that's a really nice perspective, that all you need to know is your name and we can play some pickleball.

It's a good reminder of the general sport of pickleball, why we play it and the camaraderie that gets developed.
In the RIFF, we talk about the three-minute plank which is about incremental progress and not big, chunky progress. That's the progress that you're going to see in your game and eventually it'll come together.
