00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:01,890
Hello, and welcome to Pickleball Therapy,

2
00:00:02,030 --> 00:00:04,930
the podcast dedicated to your Pickleball improvement.

3
00:00:05,330 --> 00:00:06,050
I am your host,

4
00:00:06,050 --> 00:00:06,730
Tony Roig.

5
00:00:06,850 --> 00:00:08,530
I am a master teaching professional,

6
00:00:08,890 --> 00:00:10,370
a senior professional Pickleball player,

7
00:00:10,950 --> 00:00:12,770
and the host of your weekly podcast,

8
00:00:12,770 --> 00:00:13,610
Pickleball Therapy.

9
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,690
This podcast we try and work through the mind,

10
00:00:16,710 --> 00:00:17,930
the mental part of Pickleball,

11
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,610
because we all know that the mental part is not just

12
00:00:21,610 --> 00:00:22,530
important to our Pickleball,

13
00:00:22,530 --> 00:00:26,010
but it's a really big part of what leads us to

14
00:00:26,010 --> 00:00:27,810
winning and sometimes losing one route.

15
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:29,770
On the Pickleball Court this week,

16
00:00:29,770 --> 00:00:34,170
we're gonna talk about a really powerful concept that it,

17
00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:34,810
it, it's,

18
00:00:34,860 --> 00:00:36,330
it'll seem pretty obvious when I mention it,

19
00:00:36,330 --> 00:00:37,410
like, how did,

20
00:00:37,410 --> 00:00:38,210
why did I think of that?

21
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:40,090
But the reality is,

22
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:40,370
you know,

23
00:00:40,750 --> 00:00:42,210
we we're not born knowing these things.

24
00:00:42,270 --> 00:00:42,970
So, you know,

25
00:00:43,100 --> 00:00:44,770
oftentimes you hear something on the podcast,

26
00:00:44,830 --> 00:00:45,650
you're gonna be like,

27
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:47,090
huh, okay,

28
00:00:47,090 --> 00:00:48,050
well that seems pretty obvious.

29
00:00:48,390 --> 00:00:49,490
But it's really powerful.

30
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,250
It's a concept that players don't value enough,

31
00:00:52,430 --> 00:00:54,570
and it's one that if you start understanding it and start

32
00:00:54,730 --> 00:00:55,330
bringing it into your,

33
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,490
into your play,

34
00:00:57,140 --> 00:00:57,970
it'll really help you.

35
00:00:57,970 --> 00:00:59,170
Because without it,

36
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:01,050
it's just really hard to,

37
00:01:01,510 --> 00:01:04,610
to continue to improve or to make advancements or make adjustments

38
00:01:04,610 --> 00:01:05,010
as you play,

39
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:06,570
make co corrections in your game.

40
00:01:06,990 --> 00:01:09,850
And what we're gonna be talking about today is recognition.

41
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,450
It's a,

42
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,290
it's recognizing what's going on on the Pickleball court and has

43
00:01:13,290 --> 00:01:14,330
different layers to it,

44
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:17,050
different ideas that we're gonna be exploring in today's podcast.

45
00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:18,690
Before we jump into the podcast,

46
00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:21,330
if you're listening to this podcast at around the time that

47
00:01:21,330 --> 00:01:22,490
it, it's getting published,

48
00:01:22,950 --> 00:01:24,490
we have our winmore workshop.

49
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:25,330
We're gonna be,

50
00:01:26,250 --> 00:01:26,610
I believe,

51
00:01:26,610 --> 00:01:27,450
when this one publishes,

52
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:29,970
we'll be right in the middle of our Winmore workshop.

53
00:01:30,430 --> 00:01:33,010
So if you haven't signed up for it yet,

54
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:34,810
you still have time to join us for it,

55
00:01:35,290 --> 00:01:36,890
you're really gonna enjoy the workshop.

56
00:01:37,130 --> 00:01:39,250
There's a lot of really good concepts in there that'll help

57
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:40,930
you play your best Pickleball.

58
00:01:41,250 --> 00:01:42,650
A lot of specifics you're gonna get,

59
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:44,530
and then you'll be able to make a decision as to

60
00:01:44,530 --> 00:01:44,970
whether you,

61
00:01:45,110 --> 00:01:45,570
you, you know,

62
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:47,330
this is the time for you to join us inside the

63
00:01:47,330 --> 00:01:47,850
Pickleball system.

64
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,050
Sometimes it's your time,

65
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:49,690
sometimes you're ready,

66
00:01:49,690 --> 00:01:50,330
sometimes you're not.

67
00:01:50,590 --> 00:01:51,210
But if you're ready,

68
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,450
it's a good time to join us inside the system.

69
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,010
I'll put a link in the show notes so you can

70
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:56,570
join us for the workshop.

71
00:01:56,670 --> 00:01:57,650
You've already signed up.

72
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,650
Hope you enjoying workshop number one,

73
00:01:59,670 --> 00:02:00,290
and get ready,

74
00:02:00,290 --> 00:02:02,050
getting ready for workshop number two.

75
00:02:03,300 --> 00:02:06,510
Alright, let's talk about recognition and what we mean here.

76
00:02:06,610 --> 00:02:08,790
So, when we're out there playing Pickleball,

77
00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:09,190
what happens,

78
00:02:09,790 --> 00:02:11,030
and this is not a criticism,

79
00:02:11,100 --> 00:02:11,550
okay? If,

80
00:02:11,570 --> 00:02:13,030
if you're in this group of players,

81
00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:13,990
it's perfectly fine.

82
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,070
Again, as we say during this podcast,

83
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,890
there's absolutely no reason why we should come preloaded with these

84
00:02:20,890 --> 00:02:22,850
concepts, preloaded with this knowledge,

85
00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:26,850
preloaded with this abil these abilities before learning about them.

86
00:02:26,910 --> 00:02:27,450
And this is,

87
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:28,890
if this is the first time you're hearing about it,

88
00:02:29,100 --> 00:02:31,050
great, I'm glad to be able to help you with this.

89
00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:34,970
But recognition basically just made means what it sounds like,

90
00:02:35,410 --> 00:02:36,690
recognizing what's going out on the,

91
00:02:36,690 --> 00:02:37,210
going on,

92
00:02:37,210 --> 00:02:39,730
on the Pickleball court as we play in this context.

93
00:02:40,530 --> 00:02:41,770
There's other types of recognition,

94
00:02:41,770 --> 00:02:43,850
like recognizing what we need to improve and things like that.

95
00:02:43,850 --> 00:02:46,450
That's where something like the Pickleball system helps you with that,

96
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:49,170
because rather than you having to figure it all out,

97
00:02:49,510 --> 00:02:50,890
we lay it out and put it in,

98
00:02:50,950 --> 00:02:51,610
in order for you.

99
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:52,130
So, you know,

100
00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:52,850
okay, step one,

101
00:02:52,850 --> 00:02:53,250
step two,

102
00:02:53,250 --> 00:02:53,610
step three.

103
00:02:53,610 --> 00:02:54,850
And that's gonna get you where you wanna go.

104
00:02:55,870 --> 00:02:56,410
In the,

105
00:02:56,830 --> 00:02:57,410
in this context,

106
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,490
what I wanna focus on is Recognizing what's going on when

107
00:03:00,490 --> 00:03:01,890
you're playing Pickleball.

108
00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:06,330
And what we find is we find that oftentimes when we're

109
00:03:06,530 --> 00:03:07,810
coaching, we'll ask a,

110
00:03:07,930 --> 00:03:08,930
a, a court of players,

111
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:09,490
you know,

112
00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:12,010
so four players who are playing after the end of the

113
00:03:12,010 --> 00:03:13,970
rally, we'll go onto the court to coach and we'll ask,

114
00:03:13,970 --> 00:03:15,650
okay, so let's talk about what happened there.

115
00:03:16,430 --> 00:03:17,370
And, and again,

116
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:18,690
not, this is not a criticism,

117
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:20,650
I wanna be clear about this not being critical of anyone,

118
00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:21,810
but the reality is,

119
00:03:22,250 --> 00:03:26,440
a lot of times the players have difficulty relating to us,

120
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,640
right? What just occurred in the prior,

121
00:03:28,740 --> 00:03:29,880
in the rally they just played,

122
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,480
right? In other words,

123
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:31,240
who hit what shot,

124
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:32,080
where was the ball hit,

125
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:33,200
things like that,

126
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,880
right? And it even includes sometimes players,

127
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:37,560
you know,

128
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,000
having difficulty remembering that they hit a particular shot,

129
00:03:42,540 --> 00:03:43,040
for example,

130
00:03:43,500 --> 00:03:43,800
you know,

131
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,000
we'll go onto the court and we'll say,

132
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,360
okay, let's talk about the third shot.

133
00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:47,960
So the third shot was hit by player,

134
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,040
so-and-So, and that player will say,

135
00:03:50,670 --> 00:03:51,160
what do you mean,

136
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,840
I hit the third shot?

137
00:03:52,260 --> 00:03:52,680
And well,

138
00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:53,080
I'd say,

139
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:54,000
yeah, you hit the third shot.

140
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:54,440
And so,

141
00:03:54,900 --> 00:03:56,000
and this is what happened,

142
00:03:56,060 --> 00:03:57,200
and, and you hit it here.

143
00:03:57,380 --> 00:03:58,760
And then the idea was,

144
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,200
what about trying this other shot?

145
00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:01,760
If, if the,

146
00:04:02,420 --> 00:04:03,040
and again,

147
00:04:03,070 --> 00:04:04,400
this is gonna sound fairly obvious,

148
00:04:04,460 --> 00:04:04,960
but if you,

149
00:04:05,060 --> 00:04:06,600
if, if a player is,

150
00:04:06,740 --> 00:04:10,200
is unable to recognize that they were the one that hit

151
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280
the shot and then recognize,

152
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:13,200
you know,

153
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,000
much less recognize where they hit the shot,

154
00:04:15,100 --> 00:04:17,120
and then try and recognize where they should have hit the

155
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,520
shot, it's very difficult to make corrections,

156
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,000
right? And,

157
00:04:21,060 --> 00:04:21,800
and, and I,

158
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,920
again, I know it sounds very,

159
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:24,320
like, this is very obvious,

160
00:04:24,380 --> 00:04:24,720
but I,

161
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:25,120
trust me,

162
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,240
this is a very common situation that probably is happening to

163
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:29,720
you to some,

164
00:04:29,940 --> 00:04:30,680
to some degree.

165
00:04:31,090 --> 00:04:32,880
Maybe you recognize you hit the shot,

166
00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:35,560
but are you recognizing where you hit it?

167
00:04:35,850 --> 00:04:37,680
Right? And this ties into intentionality.

168
00:04:37,700 --> 00:04:38,200
That's a,

169
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,320
a, a topic for another day for another podcast.

170
00:04:41,140 --> 00:04:41,640
But, you know,

171
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,480
we need to recognize we hit the shot.

172
00:04:43,500 --> 00:04:45,520
We need to recognize where we hit the shot,

173
00:04:45,900 --> 00:04:47,480
and then we need to recognize,

174
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:48,320
okay, that,

175
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240
how does that compare to the shot that probably that that

176
00:04:51,470 --> 00:04:52,360
made the most sense,

177
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,360
right? What was the better shot there so that I can

178
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,000
then make corrections in my game?

179
00:04:57,390 --> 00:05:01,080
Another example of recognition in as you play is say you

180
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,120
hit a volley and you miss it,

181
00:05:03,470 --> 00:05:05,360
okay? That's good information,

182
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:05,840
right? A,

183
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:06,080
you know,

184
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,280
you hit the volley b you know,

185
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:07,640
you missed it,

186
00:05:07,710 --> 00:05:08,520
okay? Again,

187
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:08,920
nope, nope,

188
00:05:09,030 --> 00:05:10,120
it's not a judgment thing,

189
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,480
it's just,

190
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:10,880
I need,

191
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:11,600
I wanna solve it,

192
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,240
right? I wanna try and not miss it next time.

193
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,600
That's the reason we wanna recognize,

194
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,120
right? It's not to beat ourselves up.

195
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,000
I wanna be clear about this.

196
00:05:17,390 --> 00:05:20,000
It's not recognition for the sake of recognition so that I

197
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,320
can then,

198
00:05:20,740 --> 00:05:21,040
you know,

199
00:05:21,070 --> 00:05:21,880
just, just,

200
00:05:22,100 --> 00:05:22,400
you know,

201
00:05:22,430 --> 00:05:24,840
destroy myself mentally because of the mistake I made.

202
00:05:25,150 --> 00:05:28,320
It's recognition so that I can make adjustments as I move

203
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,920
forward in my play that day and in my play in

204
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,960
general. So let's go back to the volley.

205
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:33,600
I hit a volley,

206
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,520
I miss it.

207
00:05:34,550 --> 00:05:35,080
Okay, good.

208
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,800
I know I hit the volley,

209
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:36,520
I know I miss it.

210
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,440
Great. But I need more information than that.

211
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:39,600
I need to know,

212
00:05:40,220 --> 00:05:41,080
how did I miss it,

213
00:05:41,470 --> 00:05:44,120
okay? Net wide or long,

214
00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:50,480
because those are likely three different causes for the mistake,

215
00:05:50,710 --> 00:05:53,320
okay? Trajectory or energy is how we talk about it inside

216
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,000
the Pickleball system.

217
00:05:54,340 --> 00:05:55,160
So it's one of those,

218
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:58,240
those elements run those components,

219
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:58,800
I should say,

220
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,280
of the shot.

221
00:05:59,740 --> 00:06:00,960
And then I need to work backward,

222
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,160
right? So it was a,

223
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:03,320
a trajectory problem.

224
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:04,840
I worked backward,

225
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,040
I figured out is paddle angle,

226
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:07,040
is it my follow through?

227
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:07,600
What's going on,

228
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,400
right? Where I was,

229
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:09,480
where I made contact with the ball,

230
00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:10,680
you know,

231
00:06:10,700 --> 00:06:11,600
energy, okay,

232
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:12,000
what happened there?

233
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,840
What was it too much,

234
00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:13,280
too little,

235
00:06:13,500 --> 00:06:13,840
et cetera.

236
00:06:14,180 --> 00:06:16,640
So recognition is a,

237
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,560
a key step along that process,

238
00:06:19,650 --> 00:06:22,920
right? Of diagnosing and correcting shots,

239
00:06:23,570 --> 00:06:25,480
diagnosing and correcting strategies,

240
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,760
right? Because for instance,

241
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
I hit the shot to the spot that if you hit

242
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:29,960
the, if you hit the,

243
00:06:30,220 --> 00:06:32,160
the ball to a spot that it doesn't go into,

244
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,640
that's a strategic error,

245
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:34,640
right? Normally,

246
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:35,760
unless you,

247
00:06:35,820 --> 00:06:37,240
unless you didn't intend to hit it there,

248
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,640
right? If you didn't intend to hit it there and it

249
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:38,920
went there,

250
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,320
then that's a mechanical error.

251
00:06:40,580 --> 00:06:42,520
If you intended to hit it there and it wasn't the

252
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,320
best place to hit it,

253
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,320
that's a strategic error because you made a decision.

254
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:47,480
But they both start with the same.

255
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:50,360
The first step along the process of correction,

256
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,720
which is the process of recognition during the workshop that we're

257
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:56,080
in right now,

258
00:06:56,100 --> 00:06:56,960
the Winmore series,

259
00:06:57,310 --> 00:07:01,320
what we're looking at is we're looking at recognizing the source

260
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:06,680
of points that our opponents are scoring more easily than we

261
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,080
want them to be able to score them to,

262
00:07:09,100 --> 00:07:09,480
to the,

263
00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:10,120
the, to the,

264
00:07:10,740 --> 00:07:11,240
the, the,

265
00:07:11,660 --> 00:07:13,080
to the extreme right?

266
00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:13,960
To the one extreme.

267
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,080
They're, they're gifted.

268
00:07:15,220 --> 00:07:15,520
You know,

269
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,400
that's the most extreme point that our opponents get that we

270
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,240
don't want them to get because we are simply gifting them

271
00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:21,680
the point.

272
00:07:22,220 --> 00:07:22,800
But there's,

273
00:07:22,860 --> 00:07:23,120
you know,

274
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,120
there's shades in this,

275
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:25,000
right? There's gray in here.

276
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:25,560
So there's other,

277
00:07:25,650 --> 00:07:28,760
other points that aren't necessarily gifted at the outset,

278
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,480
right? What we call a direct error,

279
00:07:31,570 --> 00:07:33,870
but they're the result of what we call an indirect error.

280
00:07:33,980 --> 00:07:37,030
There's an error that occurs in a shot that manifests itself

281
00:07:37,030 --> 00:07:37,630
later on,

282
00:07:38,380 --> 00:07:40,150
resulting in a loss of a point.

283
00:07:40,850 --> 00:07:41,390
And again,

284
00:07:42,090 --> 00:07:44,910
the key here is these are points that we are,

285
00:07:45,670 --> 00:07:48,230
that we can make harder for our opponents to obtain,

286
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,790
right? Not the idea that we're trying to keep them at

287
00:07:51,790 --> 00:07:52,310
zero, right?

288
00:07:52,310 --> 00:07:53,270
That's, that's silly,

289
00:07:53,950 --> 00:07:54,990
that's not our objective,

290
00:07:55,450 --> 00:07:58,070
but if we can make it that much harder for them

291
00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:58,910
to score those points,

292
00:07:59,010 --> 00:07:59,550
so we take,

293
00:07:59,730 --> 00:08:02,070
we take as many gifted points off the table as we

294
00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:03,910
can, and we,

295
00:08:04,890 --> 00:08:06,390
we keep on raising that bar,

296
00:08:06,390 --> 00:08:06,910
right? Saying,

297
00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:07,510
you know what?

298
00:08:08,210 --> 00:08:11,070
You used to be able to score against me with this

299
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:11,590
bar, you know,

300
00:08:11,590 --> 00:08:12,150
lower bar.

301
00:08:12,250 --> 00:08:13,550
Now I'm gonna raise it up a little bit,

302
00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:15,630
making it harder for 'em to score those points.

303
00:08:15,890 --> 00:08:18,270
That's how you start to win more games.

304
00:08:18,270 --> 00:08:19,470
That's the premise of the,

305
00:08:19,570 --> 00:08:20,270
of the workshop,

306
00:08:20,270 --> 00:08:20,870
right? Win more.

307
00:08:21,570 --> 00:08:23,670
And it's not win more in the abstract.

308
00:08:23,700 --> 00:08:24,110
Like, okay,

309
00:08:24,130 --> 00:08:26,230
I'm just gonna win more in an abstract sense.

310
00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:27,110
No, we're,

311
00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:29,350
we're going through the steps,

312
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,430
right? That and the,

313
00:08:30,430 --> 00:08:31,950
and the way of thinking about the Pickleball,

314
00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:34,070
that'll be more productive for you and will allow you to

315
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:34,990
take process,

316
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,110
right? To take actual concrete,

317
00:08:37,110 --> 00:08:40,870
actionable steps that in the end will end up with you

318
00:08:40,870 --> 00:08:41,510
winning more games.

319
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:45,320
But part of this is recognition,

320
00:08:45,410 --> 00:08:46,920
right? One of the things that,

321
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:47,800
that we'll talk about,

322
00:08:47,810 --> 00:08:50,240
we're talking about during this workshop has to do with return

323
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,600
of serve,

324
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:51,120
for instance,

325
00:08:51,390 --> 00:08:52,280
returns of served.

326
00:08:52,660 --> 00:08:53,640
So it's missing them.

327
00:08:53,780 --> 00:08:54,720
And then if you're missing them,

328
00:08:55,050 --> 00:08:56,370
figuring out why you're missing them,

329
00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:57,850
and for instance,

330
00:08:57,850 --> 00:09:00,130
we give you a target on your trajectory,

331
00:09:00,190 --> 00:09:02,370
we give you an aim of three feet over the net.

332
00:09:03,030 --> 00:09:06,010
So if you miss a return of serve and the return

333
00:09:06,010 --> 00:09:08,250
of serve ends up in the net,

334
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,970
that tells us that you missed your trajectory on your shot.

335
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:14,530
And then you need to figure out,

336
00:09:14,530 --> 00:09:16,410
okay, was that because I didn't think about it?

337
00:09:16,570 --> 00:09:17,410
I didn't visualize,

338
00:09:17,410 --> 00:09:18,690
which is another technique that,

339
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,090
that we go over with you in this workshop that CJ's

340
00:09:21,090 --> 00:09:22,770
gonna really go into in the workshop and help you out

341
00:09:22,770 --> 00:09:24,090
with, you know,

342
00:09:24,110 --> 00:09:25,930
did I do that for myself or did I just hit

343
00:09:25,930 --> 00:09:26,970
it wherever it went and it went?

344
00:09:27,190 --> 00:09:28,410
And, but if it goes into the net,

345
00:09:28,690 --> 00:09:32,610
I, I recognize going to the topic of today's podcast,

346
00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:36,650
I recognize that the error that I recognize,

347
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:38,050
the, the nature of the error,

348
00:09:38,050 --> 00:09:40,890
right? The shot that was hit and the type of error

349
00:09:40,890 --> 00:09:42,890
that it was trajectory going into the net,

350
00:09:43,510 --> 00:09:44,890
that's a really important step.

351
00:09:44,890 --> 00:09:45,730
And without that step,

352
00:09:45,730 --> 00:09:47,650
what I would suggest to you submit to you,

353
00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:48,050
I should say,

354
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:51,330
is that it is going to be,

355
00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:52,690
if not impossible,

356
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,970
then practically impossible to fix it,

357
00:09:57,020 --> 00:09:58,890
right? To improve,

358
00:09:59,070 --> 00:10:01,570
to continue along a,

359
00:10:01,770 --> 00:10:05,330
a positive pathway towards improving our play,

360
00:10:05,330 --> 00:10:07,210
towards improving our play during a session,

361
00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:09,170
right? During a specific session,

362
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:10,970
diagnosing and correcting a real time,

363
00:10:10,990 --> 00:10:11,530
as we say,

364
00:10:12,270 --> 00:10:14,090
or on our overall journey,

365
00:10:14,300 --> 00:10:17,250
right? If we don't recognize that this is an area that

366
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:17,890
we need to work on,

367
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,490
then we're not gonna work on it.

368
00:10:19,550 --> 00:10:19,850
You know,

369
00:10:19,850 --> 00:10:22,410
a good example here on recognition in terms of big picture

370
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:24,810
is making it to the non-bio line,

371
00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:26,090
right? As a return,

372
00:10:26,710 --> 00:10:26,970
you know,

373
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:27,930
you're not making it there,

374
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,530
okay? No.

375
00:10:29,660 --> 00:10:30,410
Gotta fix that,

376
00:10:30,820 --> 00:10:31,490
can't fix that.

377
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,010
Very hard to fix everything else,

378
00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:33,570
right? That's,

379
00:10:33,570 --> 00:10:34,170
that's, you know,

380
00:10:34,170 --> 00:10:35,650
that, that's why we do it step by step.

381
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,130
It's like,

382
00:10:36,510 --> 00:10:36,810
you know,

383
00:10:36,830 --> 00:10:37,210
you want,

384
00:10:37,390 --> 00:10:39,650
we can't jump to step eight if you haven't finished step

385
00:10:39,650 --> 00:10:40,130
four yet.

386
00:10:40,430 --> 00:10:40,850
And so,

387
00:10:42,430 --> 00:10:42,730
you know,

388
00:10:42,730 --> 00:10:44,290
that's an example of an area where,

389
00:10:44,290 --> 00:10:47,970
where players oftentimes also lack of recognition.

390
00:10:48,310 --> 00:10:48,610
You know,

391
00:10:48,610 --> 00:10:49,290
they'll tell us,

392
00:10:49,470 --> 00:10:49,730
you know,

393
00:10:49,730 --> 00:10:50,370
they'll say to us,

394
00:10:50,430 --> 00:10:52,130
but I am making it up that I buy online.

395
00:10:52,130 --> 00:10:53,930
And we're standing there literally watching them saying,

396
00:10:54,070 --> 00:10:55,410
no, you're not making it up there.

397
00:10:55,790 --> 00:10:57,850
And so that lack of recognition,

398
00:10:57,850 --> 00:10:58,770
again, no criticism,

399
00:10:58,770 --> 00:11:02,010
but that lack of recognition is an impediment,

400
00:11:02,010 --> 00:11:03,290
right? To continuing to,

401
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,410
well, first of all,

402
00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:07,330
it's a fixing it on the moment,

403
00:11:07,350 --> 00:11:08,330
in the moment on the fly,

404
00:11:08,330 --> 00:11:09,490
right, to fixing it right there.

405
00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:11,010
But bigger picture,

406
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,610
it's an impediment to big picture improvement in your plate to,

407
00:11:14,630 --> 00:11:16,370
to, it's a roadblock along your journey.

408
00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:20,250
And so this recognition component is something,

409
00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:21,850
or recognition concept,

410
00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:23,690
recognition skill,

411
00:11:23,970 --> 00:11:25,250
I should say this recognition skill,

412
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,050
it's something that you can work on,

413
00:11:27,050 --> 00:11:29,210
right? It's something that you can improve and you can build

414
00:11:29,230 --> 00:11:31,890
on. The key is start with one shot.

415
00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:32,370
You know,

416
00:11:32,370 --> 00:11:33,570
we recommend in the workshop,

417
00:11:33,570 --> 00:11:34,610
start with the return of serve.

418
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,850
It's a really good return of serve is such a good

419
00:11:36,850 --> 00:11:39,450
shot to allow you to work on a ton of different

420
00:11:39,450 --> 00:11:40,130
skills and,

421
00:11:40,150 --> 00:11:41,330
and techniques that'll,

422
00:11:41,330 --> 00:11:42,850
that'll bleed over into other,

423
00:11:43,460 --> 00:11:45,050
other shots and other parts of your game.

424
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,290
Because what you can do is you can take the return

425
00:11:47,290 --> 00:11:49,530
of serve and just notice how many times are you missing

426
00:11:49,550 --> 00:11:51,370
it. If you're missing it,

427
00:11:51,670 --> 00:11:52,730
how often are you missing it?

428
00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:54,250
If you're still making it,

429
00:11:54,250 --> 00:11:55,170
but you're hitting 'em short,

430
00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:56,330
how often is that happening?

431
00:11:57,060 --> 00:12:00,850
Start to work on recognizing those flaws in your game,

432
00:12:00,850 --> 00:12:03,690
because then those are the flaws that if you can fix

433
00:12:03,690 --> 00:12:07,530
them, we'll do the most lifting to help you elevate your

434
00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:08,930
game, advance your play,

435
00:12:09,190 --> 00:12:09,490
you know,

436
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:10,170
play better.

437
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:11,210
And ultimately,

438
00:12:11,210 --> 00:12:12,130
at the end of the day,

439
00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:14,450
you will in fact win more games.

440
00:12:14,950 --> 00:12:16,730
So, I hope you're enjoying the workshop.

441
00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:17,770
I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast,

442
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:19,410
obviously, but I hope you enjoyed the workshop as well.

443
00:12:19,410 --> 00:12:20,530
Again, if you haven't joined it yet,

444
00:12:20,530 --> 00:12:21,610
you still have some time to do it.

445
00:12:21,610 --> 00:12:24,410
If you're listening to us near the time that it's goes,

446
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,410
that it becomes public,

447
00:12:26,270 --> 00:12:28,290
if you're listening to it later on in this,

448
00:12:28,950 --> 00:12:29,250
you know,

449
00:12:29,650 --> 00:12:31,570
sometime later in the year or in another year,

450
00:12:32,220 --> 00:12:32,890
check us out.

451
00:12:32,890 --> 00:12:33,290
You can go,

452
00:12:33,290 --> 00:12:34,850
always go to the Pickleball system.com

453
00:12:34,850 --> 00:12:36,850
and find out when the next class opens and find out

454
00:12:37,470 --> 00:12:40,090
what's going on in there and see if it's the right

455
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:40,770
step for you.

456
00:12:41,630 --> 00:12:41,930
You know,

457
00:12:41,930 --> 00:12:42,370
we always,

458
00:12:42,780 --> 00:12:43,690
we're, we're we,

459
00:12:43,870 --> 00:12:47,290
the, the program has been very successful with the players who

460
00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:47,930
have taken it.

461
00:12:48,570 --> 00:12:50,890
The testimonials are consistently solid,

462
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:54,210
and the players who put in the work do in fact

463
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:57,850
find transformational improvement in their Pickleball.

464
00:12:57,850 --> 00:12:58,610
So I hope you'll,

465
00:12:59,190 --> 00:13:02,450
it, you'll find it at some point in your journey to

466
00:13:02,450 --> 00:13:03,850
join us inside the Pickleball system.

467
00:13:03,850 --> 00:13:04,290
It's a,

468
00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:05,210
it's just a,

469
00:13:05,210 --> 00:13:08,650
it's, it's unlike anything else available out there in Pickleball.

470
00:13:08,650 --> 00:13:09,490
I don't know about other sports.

471
00:13:09,490 --> 00:13:11,290
Maybe there's something out there in other sports that's like it,

472
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:12,250
but I can tell you in Pickleball,

473
00:13:12,250 --> 00:13:15,850
there's nothing out there that's even remotely close to the Pickleball

474
00:13:15,850 --> 00:13:17,290
system. In any event,

475
00:13:17,290 --> 00:13:18,370
hope you enjoyed this week's podcast.

476
00:13:18,510 --> 00:13:18,890
As always,

477
00:13:18,890 --> 00:13:19,610
if you enjoyed the podcast,

478
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:21,970
please rate and review it and share it with your friends.

479
00:13:22,210 --> 00:13:22,850
Remember, if you enjoy the podcast,

480
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,690
they probably will too.

481
00:13:24,070 --> 00:13:25,130
One last note on friends,

482
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:27,530
if you have a friend out there who is keen on

483
00:13:27,530 --> 00:13:29,330
improvement, they want to improve their Pickleball game,

484
00:13:30,700 --> 00:13:31,810
share the workshop with 'em,

485
00:13:31,810 --> 00:13:33,170
right? Maybe they haven't heard about it yet,

486
00:13:33,170 --> 00:13:34,810
maybe it just hasn't come across their feed.

487
00:13:35,270 --> 00:13:37,490
You can be that lifeline that lets 'em come into the

488
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:40,090
workshop and learn more about Pickleball,

489
00:13:40,090 --> 00:13:40,930
about the framework,

490
00:13:40,940 --> 00:13:42,010
about the objectives,

491
00:13:42,010 --> 00:13:44,970
strategies, and shots that'll help them play their best Pickleball.

492
00:13:45,670 --> 00:13:46,130
As always,

493
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:47,530
I hope you have a great week.

494
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:48,810
I'll see you inside the workshop.

495
00:13:49,350 --> 00:13:49,810
If not,

496
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,570
I'll see you and next week's podcast.
