Understanding each side can help you focus on what you need to in order to play your best pickleball. In this episode, we cover imparting stress.

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.Want to win your next pickleball game? Of course you do. We all want that.The trick is how to do it. Rather than focusing on winning the game, what you need to focus on when you're out on the Pickleball court is simply the next point. Focus on the next shot that you're going to hit. So you can look at the rally big picture if you want to. That's the biggest picture of what you can play, the rally or the point.In this week's episode we share with you how to win Pickleball games. Lots of them. We also share with you the ins and outs of improvement - how are you going to finish that huge chocolate elephant?Our next Pickleball System class 

There are 2 sides to playing pickleball: resisting stress & imparting stress.This week we dive into stress resistance. The better you resist stress, the less likely you are to make errors when you play – the less likely to miss a shot. You become “the wall” out there, resisting everything thrown your way. Chances are you will win more rallies simply because you are missing less shots. Once you improve your stress resistance, you will feel much more confident and comfortable out there. And then you can switch your focus to imparting stress: the subject of next week’s podcast. In the riff I share with you some ideas about how to deal with the tennis players out there who are upset about pickleball players playing on “their” courts.⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Tyrol shoes here.⁠⁠⁠⁠ Use code BP10 at checkout (if you are a System member, use the code inside your course).As always, thanks for joining us on Pickleball Therapy - the podcast dedicated to your pickleball improvement.

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.Keeping your eye on the ball is more than just watching the pickleball. It also means differentiating what matters from what matters not so much. A good way of thinking about it is through marginal advantages. In this episode we share with you how to use marginal advantages while you play and while you work on your game. Get the biggest "bang for your buck."We also help you with your inner-speak. Our guest, Martin Gutierrez @theforehandguy, shares with us the concept of being your own coach. By using this approach, you will strengthen the positive speak in your mind and diminish the negative talk that we all suffer from on the court.⁠⁠⁠Check out Tyrol shoes here.⁠⁠⁠ Use code BP10 at checkout (if you are a System member, use the code inside your course).Join us inside our next Pickleball System class. ⁠⁠⁠Click here to register or for more information.⁠⁠⁠⁠

In this week's episode we talk about quattro (4) tips to help your journey. Number one is perspective: go out to the court with gratitude in your heart. You'll feel better and play better. 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.2. Your Machine: You need your body to perform its best if you are going to play your best. Start doing 1 thing today for your body. Or add something new if you already do body things. You'll like what you get out of it.3. Losing is not failure: We can all learn something from Giannis Antetokounmpo's response to a reporter's question about failure. Let's reframe our faulty relationship with "failure."4. Emotion: Pickleball elicits a range of feelings - physical and emotional. I share with you my story from the Open. It is ok to cry about pickleball :).Code BP10 for Tyrol shoes andBe on the lookout (pun intended) for the Tyrol Summit test. It is a free peek (another one) into the health of your eyes.Have a great weekTony

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 you can STOP chasing winners, you will win more. What??? Yes. When you chase winners, you make more mistakes. When you make more mistakes, you lose more points. Simple as that.Stick with the program: make less errors - and you will win more rallies (and games). One powerful way to do this is by going for less winners. Stop playing high risk pickleball and you will play better.In the riff, I share with you parting notes about the 2023 US Open tournament and what I learned from playing it.Join us inside our next Pickleball System class. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here to register or for more information.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can get your visual training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Tyrol shoes here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Use code BP10 at checkout (if you are a System member, use the code inside your course).⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up here to get our weekly emails⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our mental book recommendations here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Getting Started Beginner Materials here.⁠⁠⁠If you like the podcast, please give it a rating.

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."Wait, I have a super computer?" you may ask. You 100% have one. And it is powerful. Makes ChatGPT (and all computers or programs) green with envy. There is a good chance, though, that you are not using it to its fullest capabilities when you are playing pickleball.One example: where are you aiming your serve? Specifically. Height over the net? Specifically. If you are not providing your super computer with specific instructions you cannot be surprised when it does not do what you want. It, after all, had no clear directions.You can change this by starting to give your super computer (your brain, of course) clear directives. Each shot. You will play better pickleball.In the riff, I share with you a personal story to help us gain context and perspective.Join us inside our next Pickleball System class. ⁠⁠Click here to register or for more information.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can get your visual training here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out Tyrol shoes here.⁠⁠⁠ Use code BP10 at checkout (if you are a System member, use the code inside your course).⁠⁠⁠Sign up here to get our weekly emails⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠Our mental book recommendations here.⁠⁠⁠⁠Getting Started Beginner Materials here.⁠If you like the podcast, please give it a rating.
