2022/01/14

There is one shot that you must have to play pickleball and which, even if you have it, is costing you points or helping you win games. If you can focus on this one shot, and get it as good as it can get, you will see radical improvement in your play and results. Guaranteed. In the episodes, we also give you some tips on how to work on improving your shot. In the riff we discuss the ladder of pickleball play and what you should do once you have climbed up.

In the riff, I turn the microphone over to CJ to let her share her thoughts about the mental part of the game with you. This stiff is powerful. You can find out more

2021/12/31

There is some suggestion that pickleball is becoming a hard game. The pros are hitting harder, attacking more often. But is that really the case? In this week’s podcast we explain why the soft game is ALWAYS the right answer to the game. It is the approach to the game used by the pros when the stakes are highest. Yet it is a strategy that any player can use, regardless of background, size, age, etc. Adopting the soft game can radically alter your game. In the riff we discuss minimizing

2021/12/10

If you want to get better at pickleball, you first need to know what might be wrong. Oftentimes pickleball players focus on the “wrong” areas. By focusing on higher impact areas of the game you can see better results faster. In the riff we talk about what to do when the wrong score is, inevitably, called by your opponent.

Are you out there looking for the “W”s when you play pickleball? Is that the right metric for you and your pickleball objectives? I am going to guess no, but perhaps I am wrong about that. Listen to the podcast and let me know. In the riff we get into how your paddle is holding you back from the play you are capable of. Or is it?

Were you given an Instruction Manual when you first started playing pickleball? We weren't. In this episode we share with you stories about how we built our manual so that you can do the same. In the riff, we discuss the new serve rules for 2022 and talk about a rule that is still there that may cause some mischief with our game. You can read our blog post about the serve rules here.

Pickleball Therapy ·

2021/10/22

When we think of winning as getting to 11 first and losing as when our opponents get to 11 before we do, we rob ourselves of the benefits that can come from score losing a game. The only way we grow as pickleball players is when we are pushed to do so - this often means losing in terms of the score in a game or match. Take advantage of these growth opportunities by focusing on what you can do to improve as opposed to just the L that you get after that "loss." In the riff, we get into what

Players ask CJ and me all the time what the best way to improve is. Should they take lessons or maybe a clinic? Is self-study enough to accomplish my objectives? What about a camp - I hear those can be fun? In this Bonus episode I touch on all four and give you some of the pros and cons of each.

2021/10/15

There are two you's on the court, Self 1 and Self 2. Self 2 is your ally when you play pickleball. Self 1? Not so much. Self 1 just yaps your ear off with nonsense while Self 2 is trying to get the work done. In this week's podcast we talk to you about the difference between them and how to quiet Self 1. In the riff, we discuss pickleball empathy. Trust me - this is worth a listen. The Inner Game of Tennis by Tim Gallwey - an amazing book. You can find out more about the Diadem Icon paddle

Do you understand the concept of playing high to low - as opposed to low to high? If not, you may be getting yourself in trouble on the pickleball court. In this podcast we explain it to you and tell you how to stay out of these murky waters. In the riff we discuss whether you "belong" on a certain court in your community.

Red herrings can distract us on our pickleball improvement paths. They take away time and focus from the areas that we need to work on. This particular red herring, however, can actually undermine your game by adding unnecessary errors. Is the windshield wiper stroke undermining your game? Rec play is awesome. Socialize, relax, play some ball. But if you want to improve you need to consider adding some competitive play to your weekly schedule. Stay tuned to the riff to hear more on

2021/09/10

Pickleball is a game of error reduction. True. But to improve you also have to learn how to take advantage of opportunities that arise. In this episode we explain what we mean and get you to think about the game a bit differently (at least that is the objective). Rally scoring is coming to pickleball. At least that is what the tea leaves are saying. Am I excited about rally scoring coming into the game? No. But will it prevent me from playing? Also no. Stay tuned to the riff to hear more on
