About this listen
Just because you know the rules and have had a blast playing pickleball since the day you learned, doesn't necessarily mean that you're playing as well as you could be. Players of every age and ability can learn to play better and win more when they start to apply the principles of Smart Pickleball™.
In this book, Prem Carnot, the pickleball guru, takes you on an entertaining journey full of colorful characters and astonishingly familiar scenarios as he teaches one of his highly-renowned, frequently sold-out Pickleball Guru Academy clinics and a number of private lessons.
With drills and a captivating allegorical style, The Pickleball Guru uses case studies and personal examples to teach you the difference between just "getting the ball over the net" and playing smart. This book is a pause-resister and will have you eager to get back out on the courts to practice what you learned.

Story
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America. Easy to learn, but impossible to master, it’s no wonder that nearly 5 million people nationwide have picked up their paddles and taken to the court. But people aren’t just dabbling in this up-and-coming activity, they are obsessed; some hit the court as many as five, six, even seven times a week. As Vanity Fair put it, pickleball has “won over everyone, from Leonardo DiCaprio to your grandparents.”

Story
He's been called the best in the world at the mental game of tennis. Brad Gilbert's strokes may not be pretty, but looks aren't everything. He has beaten the tour's biggest names - all by playing his "ugly" game. Now, in Winning Ugly, Gilbert teaches recreational players how to win more often without necessarily even changing their strokes. The key to success, he says, is to become a better thinking player - to recognize, analyze, and capitalize. That means out-thinking opponents before, during, and after a match - forcing him or her to play your game.

What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should.

Story
Bainbridge Island, Washington State. On a sleepy summer vacation, three dads with bored kids started a game with handmade equipment and rules that were even more hastily constructed. Pickleball—an accessible and engaging combination of sports like ping-pong and tennis—was born, and a rich history began to take shape. Fifty years later, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to quarantine and hunt for new activities, Americans of all ages and athletic ability discovered pickleball, turning to the rapidly growing phenomenon as a way to stay active, safe, and entertained.

Not worth a purchase. Could have been an email.
Writing this book apparently was an exercise in the “guru” author stroking his own ego. Admittedly though his wife wrote it? That’s what he says in the book. Chapters are peppered with quotes the author reads of his student praising him. The first five chapters are wind up talking about what he’s gonna talk about.
There are obvious nuggets in there that qualify as “smart pickleball” advice-obvious stuff YouTube videos all say. But it’s not worth the time suffering through the author stroking his own ego.

Self promotion 75% and actual good information 25 %
This is an extremely disappointing book. The author spends so much time talking about himself, his wife, his students, the format of his clinics, what his students said, his clever retorts......nauseating. We were really excited for knowledge of pickleball, how to hit shots, strategies, etc... Definitely not a good use of $.
