About this listen
And with the growing popularity of pickleball has come the need for lessons and clinics to teach the mechanics of the sport. I taught tennis for many years but when I found pickleball about six years ago, I put away my tennis racquets and have used a pickleball paddle ever since. In my opinion, pickleball is a game of chess compared to tennis which is a game of checkers.
Once you master the stroke mechanics of pickleball then the challenge is to master the mental game. That is where the fun begins. I have been a pickleball instructor now for four years. And I do focus on the mechanics of the game when I teach. But I go beyond that to teach the mental aspects of the game which separates the good players from the excellent players.
I’ve been encouraged by many of my students to write a book that details some of these mental aspects of the game of pickleball. And when I play in tournaments or recreationally, I often get comments like ‘how can you be so calm on the court’ or ‘you make this game look effortless’. One of my partners complimented me in a recent tournament by saying ‘thanks for your Zen attitude on the court’. Thus, the inspiration for this book.
If you can remain calm, remain focused, remain relaxed during a game of pickleball, you will find much success, both internally and externally, I think if you take the messages in this book to heart, you will also be happier and enjoy the game of pickleball more. In my opinion, pickleball can be a metaphor for life. A Zen approach to the challenges we face can allow us to face adversity with a sense of calm and focus that will make us much happier on our journey through life.
Although most reviews have been positive, some reviews have said that the book is too short. To those readers I offer a quote from Dr Suess: "...the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads."
This book combines both Volumes 1 and 2 so that you can carry all of these words of wisdom in one volume at a discounted price to keep in your pickleball bag for reference. Share it and gift it to your friends. Hope you enjoy.
