    Building Recognition - A Key to Adjust in Real Time (and more)

    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.
    It's through recognition that we can make adjustments as we move forward in our pickleball 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.

    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.
    This special episode is dedicated to talking about our Pickleball System course and helping players who may be on the fence about joining us inside to make a decision as to whether it's the time for them to do so. 
    The Pickleball System course is a big deal from our end because we only do this two times per year. This is the spring opening of our course. 
    If you would like to join us here are two questions to ask yourself in making the decision:
    1. Are you genuinely interested in making real improvement in your play? 
    We're talking about paradigm shift, transformational changes to your game, not gimmicks or quick fixes but real meaningful change in your game? If you answer yes to that, then we're halfway there. 
    2. Are you willing to put in some work? 
    If you answered yes to both those questions, then The Pickleball System is right for you and I would recommend that you enroll in our March class, or at least give real serious consideration to enrolling in our March class.
    Here's what you can expect in the one year course:
    A top-down approach to pickleball. It's what we call FOS - Framework, Objective, Strategies and Shots.

    Remove Your Mental Plaque and You'll Play Better

    Remove Your Mental Plaque and You'll Play Better

    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.
    When a game finishes and the reaction of a player on the court is that the game sucked, sometimes its because the player who's saying that is the losing player.
    You want to spend some of your mental bandwidth on protecting yourself from such potentially negative mental habits.
    And in this week's episode, we're going to focus on looking for signs that plaque has built up in our minds and trying to remove that as we play. Because the cleaner that our minds are from this plaque that builds up, the better we're going to play.
     I'll also share a personal story that happened to me many years ago.
    Let keep it positive in terms of our understanding that it's a game of ebbs and flows. You're going to play great sometimes, you're going to play crappy sometimes, and so are your opponents or your partner.

    PLAY Episode - 5 Keys to Navigating a Pickleball Game

    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.
    If pickleball was easy and always a calm sailing wind at your back, you probably wouldn't enjoy it as much.
    That's why in this episode we look at the play aspect of pickleball, and more specifically how to navigate a game because oftentimes we'll find that the wind has shifted or the waters have gotten a little rough and all of a sudden we have to tack in a different direction. 
    More like navigating a ship through waters.   
    The first key to navigate a pickleball game is to be able to weather the storm, the natural ebb and flow of a game, the tops and the bottoms. And that includes all aspects of the game. 
    Listen to this episode for more about this and four other tips to help you better prepare to experience the natural turbulence and struggles that will occur during a pickleball game.

    Winning More is A-Ok - Special Episode

    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.
    Our upcoming Win-More Series got me to thinking about, well, winning. We talk about it a lot because it takes up a lot of our mental bandwidth. Winning is a fine thing and it is A-Ok to want more of it.
    And based on that, here are two areas worth exploring:
    1 - How do we win more? In actuality not just conceptually2 - Does winning become the end all and be all? Keeping our eye on the real importance of pickleball to us

    The Importance of a Growth Mindset- Special Episode with CJ Johnson

    The Importance of a Growth Mindset- Special Episode with CJ Johnson

    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 today's episode, my partner CJ Johnson is taking over the pod to talk about how to develop a growth mindset. It's a great episode for all of us, wherever we are on our pickleball journey.
    Growth and development are usually not linear. It requires patience, time, and really, faith in the effort that we're investing.
    We dive deeper into one of the crucial elements that can make all the difference- growth mindset. I share with you a post from one of our pickleball system members that really illustrates how a growth mindset can help manage the ups and downs of a pickleball's (or any life's) learning journey. The post perfectly encapsulates the principles of the growth mindset. 
    Now, why is a growth mindset imperative for improvement as opposed to a fixed mindset?
    Let me give you an example. Legendary basketball player Michael Jordan was widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all times. But his success was not solely attributed to his natural talent, but rather to his unparalleled work ethic, and he had unwavering determination as well.
    Embracing effort as the pathway to mastery encourages a love of learning and a resilience, which are essential for great accomplishments, fosters resilience and helps one to develop a deeper love of the game. Join us for the Win-More Series here: https://bit.ly/4bRLvYp
