    Doing the Best You Can Do PLUS Incremental Growth

    Doing the Best You Can Do PLUS Incremental Growth

    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.

    Protect the Warrior Inside You

    Protect the Warrior Inside You

    There are serious losses that we encounter that's part of being alive. If your favorite team did not win a contest, it's not an upset and does not mean that anybody suffered a loss.
    It just means that the contest ended with one team having more points, or other defining measurement of that sport, than the other team. 
    That's why in this week's episode we're talking about how we reference losing sporting events.
    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.
    There's an old Japanese Samurai proverb that says, Do not speak bad of yourself, for the warrior within hears your words and is lessened by them. Language and the words you use is so important, it affects us and it's how we interact with our mind.
    Listen to this episode as we talk about how we can guard ourselves from the resistance inside our mind to events are nothing more than normal expected events  Episode 182- Remove Your Mental Plaque and You'll Play Better; https://youtu.be/bxnby2E3QDI

    Mailbag Episode - Tony's Take on Your Open Items - April 2024

    Mailbag Episode - Tony's Take on Your Open Items - April 2024

    We've had great conversations with our therapists that we will share here. One of our therapist talks about the importance of the mental game as we age & the mental and physical challenges.
    How do we deal with those as we get older?
    Here's my take;
    - As we get older, we have to be cognizant of life, the change in our bodies and our mind because it can change our ability to, for instance, stay focused for longer.
    - Use the FOSS approach of understanding the game to understand what you can do in different situations that's going to be more effective. Then repeat what works.

    Listen to the full episode as I answer more questions and suggestions on;
    The game getting faster and harder with a lot of players out there just banging the ball  I'm I cut out for tournaments or anything related to tournament prep?   What do you do when you feel like you've outgrown your original pickleball group?  The common tendencies that we see that we can look for in our opponents and how to capitalize on them Send us an email: therapy@betterpickleball.com

    Never-Say-Die Mindset PLUS The Paddle That Will Change your Game (Spoiler)

    Never-Say-Die Mindset PLUS The Paddle That Will Change your Game (Spoiler)

    You become a fierce competitor by applying something specific to your mind. When we are playing out there, there are times when we're going to be in trouble. What do we do in that situation?
    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.
    Now I was reminded of the never say die mindset thought process in watching a PPA finals match between Andrei Daescu and Anna Bright against the strongest mixed doubles team in the history of pickleball, Ben Johns & Anna Leigh Waters.
    Check out Tyrol Pickleball for the best shoes designed specifically for pickleball. Use BP10 at checkout.
    The never say die mindset is where the three pillars of pickleball overlap. Understanding that all three, strategic, mechanical pillar and the athletic, is necessary and working on all of them is how you're going to really maximize your potential as a pickleball player.
    In that match I recommend really focusing on Andre in terms of how you're going to get the most out of this process, how he moves, how he uses his paddle, and everything he does.
    In the RIFF, I'm going to be chatting about paddles, and basically our mindset when it comes to paddles

    Scaling the Wall to Continued Improvement

    Scaling the Wall to Continued Improvement

    There's a wall that players can sometimes run into when trying to improve. But there's a wall that some players spend a lot of time standing in front of that they're not able to scale it.
    This week I'm going to talk about the mindset that you want to bring to your improvement. This is an improvement episode where we talk about big picture improvement.
    The term fundamentals is a turn off to some players but the irony of it is it's what exactly the players need in order to scale that wall or break through that wall. It takes some dedication, work and patience to be able to get where we want to go.

One long advert

I used to love this podcast but it has devolved into just being one enormous advert for the pickleball system, which for a while I considered joining, but if you have to spend this much time advertising it it’s probably not worth it. Unfollow. What a shame.
