👋

26 more days until my idea (from over 2 years ago) becomes a reality.

My book: Pickleball in 60 Seconds officially ships out!

(December 9th)

I couldn't be more proud and excited for this moment.

When I first started this book, I was a completely different person. When I first started writing the book, I wasn't sure if it would ever come to life or if it was just an idea that nobody would care about.

It's fun looking back to see how far I've come in just 2 years and how things have developed.

I came across a quote online that really resonated with me, and I want to share it with you. This has been recurring in my mind multiple times a day for the past few weeks. 

The interviewer asked his guest, "What is the meaning of life?"

(I like anything psychology-related)

The guest answered:

“It's five words:

Enjoying the passage of time.”

That REALLY stuck with me.

Now, let’s get to this week's video:

Protect Your Partner on a Bad Return of Serve!

I wish I had learned this earlier in my pickleball career. It’s okay to cross the middle line - it’s NOT a force field.

This past week, I've been working on taking dinks aggressively out of the air.

What does this mean? 

Instead of taking my opponent's dink out of the air and just tapping it back into the kitchen, I'm using topspin to take time away from them and gain an advantage in the rally. 

This is super effective because it puts them "on ice skates" and allows me to either get a dead dink that I can speed up, or earn a pop-up I can attack.

I've always been able to do this; however, I resort to being passive in a tournament setting. I am going to change that. It adds a lot of pressure, and you're at a disadvantage if you don't do this.

Try this for yourself this week. When you see your opponent dinking and you can take it out of the air, try to be aggressive with it and see how it goes! It’s the only way to get better.
