00:00:00,220 --> 00:00:01,450
Hello and welcome to Pickleball Therapy,

2
00:00:01,510 --> 00:00:03,570
the podcast dedicated to your Pickleball improvement.

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,810
This is an onsite recording of the podcast.

4
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:09,970
The reason I'm recording it on site is because this is

5
00:00:09,970 --> 00:00:13,090
the home of our Tampa camps that we hold at Better

6
00:00:13,090 --> 00:00:14,570
Pickleball, that we host at Better Pickleball.

7
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:19,090
And this is a reminder of how we want to improve

8
00:00:19,310 --> 00:00:20,290
as Pickleball players.

9
00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:20,810
In other words,

10
00:00:20,810 --> 00:00:21,930
some of the important concepts,

11
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:24,050
and the one I wanna talk to you about today is

12
00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:28,290
one tt that's a group.

13
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:30,490
One of the groups in our camp is one TT at

14
00:00:30,490 --> 00:00:30,890
our camps.

15
00:00:30,890 --> 00:00:31,770
They, we put it on their,

16
00:00:31,790 --> 00:00:32,570
on their name tag.

17
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:34,730
And the reason we do one tt,

18
00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:37,530
that's one thing at a time,

19
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:39,770
and we're gonna talk about that in today's podcast.

20
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:41,490
Speaking of one thing at a time,

21
00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:44,090
if you're not yet a member of our Pickleball system,

22
00:00:44,270 --> 00:00:45,730
highly recommend you check it out.

23
00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:48,890
If it's the right time for you to take the plunge

24
00:00:48,890 --> 00:00:51,330
in your game to really improve and play your best Pickleball,

25
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,570
join us inside the Pickleball system.

26
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:54,730
It is step by step,

27
00:00:55,230 --> 00:00:56,650
one thing at a time,

28
00:00:57,270 --> 00:00:59,490
the topic of today's podcast.

29
00:01:00,070 --> 00:01:02,090
So let's jump into the concept of one thing at a

30
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:03,250
time. And let's just talk about,

31
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:04,730
let's go outside of Pickleball for a second,

32
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:06,490
and then we'll bring it into Pickleball and apply it here.

33
00:01:06,950 --> 00:01:07,970
So let's say that,

34
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:08,770
you know,

35
00:01:08,830 --> 00:01:10,250
you have moved into a,

36
00:01:10,410 --> 00:01:14,010
a new house and you want to get it to where

37
00:01:14,010 --> 00:01:14,930
you want it for you.

38
00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:17,370
And so you get in there and you have a list

39
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:18,410
of, you know,

40
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:19,810
50 things that you want to do.

41
00:01:19,870 --> 00:01:20,170
You know,

42
00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:20,970
painting, kitchen,

43
00:01:21,730 --> 00:01:22,210
changing cabinet,

44
00:01:23,050 --> 00:01:24,090
different furniture.

45
00:01:24,090 --> 00:01:25,210
Maybe you wanna move a door,

46
00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:26,650
maybe you need a shed.

47
00:01:27,170 --> 00:01:28,490
You wanna do something in landscaping.

48
00:01:28,530 --> 00:01:28,730
I mean,

49
00:01:28,730 --> 00:01:31,170
you can think of everything that you would like for your

50
00:01:31,300 --> 00:01:33,490
house. And you know,

51
00:01:33,650 --> 00:01:34,410
it's a Saturday,

52
00:01:34,460 --> 00:01:36,410
right? The first Saturday you're in this new house and you

53
00:01:36,410 --> 00:01:36,970
say, you know what,

54
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,450
let's do everything on the list.

55
00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:41,530
That's nonsense,

56
00:01:41,530 --> 00:01:41,970
right? I mean,

57
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:42,370
yeah, I,

58
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:42,850
you're like,

59
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,010
that doesn't make any sense,

60
00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:45,450
Tony. I agree with you,

61
00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:47,810
but a lot of times that's how we view our Pickleball,

62
00:01:47,810 --> 00:01:50,770
right? We want to do everything at the same time.

63
00:01:51,650 --> 00:01:51,930
You know,

64
00:01:51,930 --> 00:01:52,810
we want a third shot.

65
00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:53,570
We wanna return serve,

66
00:01:53,570 --> 00:01:54,370
we wanna win more games.

67
00:01:54,370 --> 00:01:56,210
We want to have less errors.

68
00:01:56,210 --> 00:01:58,130
We want to understand what we're supposed to do in this

69
00:01:58,370 --> 00:01:59,130
situation, in that situation.

70
00:01:59,130 --> 00:02:01,410
Deal with LOBs and bangers all at the same time.

71
00:02:02,450 --> 00:02:04,490
I wish there was a way to package that,

72
00:02:04,490 --> 00:02:05,450
right? Put it in a,

73
00:02:05,550 --> 00:02:07,130
in a vial and deliver it to you.

74
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:07,970
Be happy to do it.

75
00:02:08,350 --> 00:02:08,650
You know,

76
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:09,410
I'd be happy to,

77
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:10,210
to give you,

78
00:02:10,390 --> 00:02:10,690
you know,

79
00:02:10,810 --> 00:02:14,290
some sort of magical salve to fix everything in the game

80
00:02:14,310 --> 00:02:14,850
at one time.

81
00:02:16,110 --> 00:02:16,810
Not realistic,

82
00:02:16,810 --> 00:02:18,450
right? And so what happens is,

83
00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:19,130
is you know,

84
00:02:19,130 --> 00:02:19,610
we, but we,

85
00:02:19,610 --> 00:02:20,810
we, we set that for ourselves,

86
00:02:20,810 --> 00:02:22,330
right? We're like the homeowner that says,

87
00:02:22,350 --> 00:02:23,010
I'm doing everything.

88
00:02:23,270 --> 00:02:25,210
And then what happens is we actually don't end up doing

89
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:27,810
anything, and then we're sitting there Sunday evening or the next

90
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:28,370
week going like,

91
00:02:28,810 --> 00:02:30,450
I didn't do anything that I was supposed to do.

92
00:02:30,950 --> 00:02:32,370
So we start feeling bad about ourselves,

93
00:02:32,370 --> 00:02:33,730
right? And the same thing with Pickleball,

94
00:02:33,730 --> 00:02:35,330
right? I have a list of 80 things,

95
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:36,930
right? Or at least in my mind,

96
00:02:36,970 --> 00:02:38,450
I have all these different things I need to do.

97
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:39,810
And so what happens is,

98
00:02:39,810 --> 00:02:42,610
now I feel terrible because I'm not doing any of them.

99
00:02:42,970 --> 00:02:44,810
'cause it's impossible because I have too many things to do.

100
00:02:45,550 --> 00:02:46,890
And here's the kicker too.

101
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:48,850
In today's day and age,

102
00:02:50,030 --> 00:02:50,530
not you,

103
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:51,450
you have your list,

104
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:51,970
right? Whatever,

105
00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:53,210
whatever your list is right now,

106
00:02:53,210 --> 00:02:54,290
20 to 50 things,

107
00:02:54,290 --> 00:02:55,050
right? Whatever it is,

108
00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:57,650
impeccable. And whether you have it written out or not,

109
00:02:57,650 --> 00:02:59,210
it's up in your brain that's working In there.

110
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,290
It's in the back burner,

111
00:03:00,290 --> 00:03:02,490
just, just eating away bandwidth for you.

112
00:03:03,270 --> 00:03:04,010
But here's the thing,

113
00:03:04,210 --> 00:03:04,770
whatever your number is,

114
00:03:05,570 --> 00:03:08,210
I guarantee you there's a video waiting for you on YouTube

115
00:03:08,390 --> 00:03:09,370
that's gonna give you two,

116
00:03:09,370 --> 00:03:09,810
three more,

117
00:03:09,810 --> 00:03:10,570
maybe five more,

118
00:03:10,670 --> 00:03:10,970
you know?

119
00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:13,610
And then you're gonna get a newsletter from somebody that's gonna

120
00:03:13,630 --> 00:03:14,330
say, you know what,

121
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:15,050
you know what,

122
00:03:15,050 --> 00:03:15,930
this is really what you need.

123
00:03:15,930 --> 00:03:16,570
And so you're like,

124
00:03:16,570 --> 00:03:17,290
oh, I need that.

125
00:03:17,550 --> 00:03:18,650
So let's add that to the list.

126
00:03:18,750 --> 00:03:19,610
So now you're not,

127
00:03:19,630 --> 00:03:21,290
not, not only you haven't finished the,

128
00:03:21,290 --> 00:03:22,570
the 20 to 50 you already have,

129
00:03:22,830 --> 00:03:24,210
but now you have all these other things to do.

130
00:03:24,210 --> 00:03:24,970
Going back to the home,

131
00:03:24,970 --> 00:03:25,450
it'd be like,

132
00:03:25,450 --> 00:03:27,890
okay, I have like my 50 things I wanna do,

133
00:03:28,310 --> 00:03:29,010
but you know,

134
00:03:29,010 --> 00:03:29,930
I'm watching htt,

135
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:33,050
HGTV or whatever the current trend is for that kind of

136
00:03:33,050 --> 00:03:33,370
stuff, right?

137
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:34,850
And I'm sitting there and I'm like,

138
00:03:34,870 --> 00:03:35,330
oh, wow,

139
00:03:35,790 --> 00:03:36,890
the latest thing is,

140
00:03:36,990 --> 00:03:37,290
you know,

141
00:03:37,420 --> 00:03:39,130
curve sconces or something.

142
00:03:39,310 --> 00:03:41,170
So now I add that to my list and I never

143
00:03:41,170 --> 00:03:42,330
get anything done because I'm always,

144
00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:42,690
you know,

145
00:03:42,690 --> 00:03:44,090
not getting the 50 things done,

146
00:03:44,090 --> 00:03:45,170
plus I'm trying to,

147
00:03:45,190 --> 00:03:46,450
I'm, it's always being added to,

148
00:03:46,450 --> 00:03:47,170
right? Because of the,

149
00:03:47,310 --> 00:03:48,210
the overflow,

150
00:03:48,230 --> 00:03:49,930
the influx of just,

151
00:03:50,190 --> 00:03:50,490
you know,

152
00:03:50,490 --> 00:03:51,330
the information out there.

153
00:03:51,330 --> 00:03:53,730
It's just such a overwhelming environment we live in right now.

154
00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:54,730
You know,

155
00:03:54,730 --> 00:03:56,010
it's, it's a plus because,

156
00:03:56,070 --> 00:03:56,370
you know,

157
00:03:56,370 --> 00:03:57,530
you can find almost anything you want.

158
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,090
It's a negative because it's too much,

159
00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:02,170
particularly when you're trying to work on your Pickleball game or

160
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:03,810
something. That's like step by step something.

161
00:04:03,810 --> 00:04:06,330
That's one thing at a time as Pickleball,

162
00:04:06,350 --> 00:04:07,930
and that's how you're gonna get the most out of it,

163
00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:10,290
right? If you're always being bombarded with the latest,

164
00:04:10,810 --> 00:04:11,490
craziest thing you need,

165
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,250
it's really hard to improve as a Pickleball player.

166
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:17,810
And the risk is that you end up being frustrated,

167
00:04:17,810 --> 00:04:19,850
right? You end up feeling like a failure because,

168
00:04:20,390 --> 00:04:20,690
you know,

169
00:04:20,690 --> 00:04:23,170
you had this idea of what you were gonna be playing

170
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,610
like with these 50 things or 20 things,

171
00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:28,930
and you haven't gotten there because you haven't really processed that.

172
00:04:28,930 --> 00:04:30,290
It's not possible to do that.

173
00:04:30,750 --> 00:04:31,730
So when you,

174
00:04:31,970 --> 00:04:35,290
when you think about your journey as a Pickleball player,

175
00:04:35,790 --> 00:04:38,250
the concept of one thing at a time cannot be overstressed

176
00:04:38,250 --> 00:04:39,570
enough. Now listen,

177
00:04:39,590 --> 00:04:40,490
you can broaden a little bit.

178
00:04:40,490 --> 00:04:41,850
You can do a couple of things as long as they

179
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:42,770
don't overlap with each other.

180
00:04:42,910 --> 00:04:43,370
For example,

181
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,810
when players leave our camp,

182
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,650
they leave with a five step action plan.

183
00:04:47,230 --> 00:04:47,490
You know,

184
00:04:47,490 --> 00:04:49,410
so that in there we give 'em five things to do,

185
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:50,650
but they're in different areas,

186
00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:51,690
different buckets,

187
00:04:51,690 --> 00:04:54,290
right? You can't do like volley and ground struck at the

188
00:04:54,290 --> 00:04:56,290
same time or return of serve and,

189
00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:56,770
you know,

190
00:04:56,870 --> 00:04:58,650
and, and black volley at the same time.

191
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,570
It's very hard to do those two things at the same

192
00:05:00,570 --> 00:05:01,610
time. But you can,

193
00:05:01,610 --> 00:05:02,010
for instance,

194
00:05:02,010 --> 00:05:02,570
work on your,

195
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,050
your, your dink technique and your lateral footwork,

196
00:05:05,050 --> 00:05:05,850
right? Something like that,

197
00:05:05,850 --> 00:05:06,290
that works.

198
00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:07,730
Or you're listening to Pickleball therapy,

199
00:05:07,790 --> 00:05:10,530
the podcast that's mental and you're working on your volley,

200
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:11,130
that's fine.

201
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:13,010
So they don't overlap.

202
00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:14,810
But the key is on the,

203
00:05:14,810 --> 00:05:16,170
in this process is you,

204
00:05:16,190 --> 00:05:18,930
you really need to start thinking about it one thing at

205
00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:19,210
a time.

206
00:05:19,630 --> 00:05:20,010
Now the,

207
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:21,890
the, the next sort of,

208
00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:22,810
not complication,

209
00:05:22,810 --> 00:05:24,850
but the next thing to think about is what's the one

210
00:05:24,850 --> 00:05:28,010
thing that's where understanding priority is so important,

211
00:05:28,010 --> 00:05:28,650
right? And again,

212
00:05:28,670 --> 00:05:30,170
I'm gonna put a plugin for the figure wall system.

213
00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:31,090
'cause in the figure wall system,

214
00:05:31,190 --> 00:05:32,410
you don't have to wonder like,

215
00:05:32,410 --> 00:05:33,770
which one's more important than the other.

216
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:36,530
We give it to you like step by step and they're

217
00:05:36,530 --> 00:05:36,730
in order.

218
00:05:36,730 --> 00:05:38,330
So the step one proceeds step two,

219
00:05:38,330 --> 00:05:38,850
and so on.

220
00:05:38,850 --> 00:05:39,410
It's not like,

221
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,850
well, which step should I follow now?

222
00:05:40,910 --> 00:05:42,130
No, just the next one on the,

223
00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:42,970
on the list of steps,

224
00:05:42,970 --> 00:05:44,850
right? It'll get you where you want to go.

225
00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:46,250
And what happens is,

226
00:05:46,350 --> 00:05:46,650
you know,

227
00:05:46,650 --> 00:05:48,290
we'll, we'll get a video and we'll say,

228
00:05:48,290 --> 00:05:49,770
oh, well that's a very powerful technique,

229
00:05:50,110 --> 00:05:53,530
but maybe it's a very powerful technique for pro Pickleball players

230
00:05:53,550 --> 00:05:55,450
who already have all the other stuff in their toolbox,

231
00:05:55,450 --> 00:05:56,970
right? Maybe it's not right for Us,

232
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:57,510
us right now.

233
00:05:57,710 --> 00:05:59,810
And, and there's a video that we did at the Intu

234
00:05:59,810 --> 00:06:00,250
pickup channel.

235
00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:01,530
I'll put a link in the show notes.

236
00:06:01,870 --> 00:06:03,090
And if you're watching this on YouTube,

237
00:06:03,090 --> 00:06:06,010
I'll put it up here that talks about the three questions

238
00:06:06,010 --> 00:06:08,010
you have to ask yourself before you receive information,

239
00:06:08,010 --> 00:06:08,890
right? Correct.

240
00:06:09,290 --> 00:06:11,010
Complete, and is it right for you?

241
00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:12,290
And I get into it more in that,

242
00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:13,570
in that video.

243
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:15,490
So I'm not gonna belabor it here.

244
00:06:15,510 --> 00:06:16,130
And by the way,

245
00:06:16,130 --> 00:06:19,890
if you're listening to this podcast on a podcast provider,

246
00:06:19,980 --> 00:06:21,250
great, fantastic Apple,

247
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:22,250
Spotify, wherever you're at,

248
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,170
if you can check it out on the pod,

249
00:06:24,190 --> 00:06:24,610
on the,

250
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:25,850
on the YouTube as well,

251
00:06:25,850 --> 00:06:26,890
we have Pickleball therapy as well,

252
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:28,450
and you can subscribe to the channel if you so choose.

253
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:29,330
But you know,

254
00:06:29,330 --> 00:06:31,010
so, so when you think about your one thing at a

255
00:06:31,010 --> 00:06:31,370
time, it's,

256
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:32,210
it's a,

257
00:06:32,670 --> 00:06:34,130
it needs to be one thing at a time,

258
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:35,530
not 50 things at a time.

259
00:06:36,330 --> 00:06:37,970
B, you gotta be really careful about,

260
00:06:38,220 --> 00:06:39,290
about allowing,

261
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:40,930
getting hijacked,

262
00:06:40,930 --> 00:06:41,570
basically, you know,

263
00:06:41,570 --> 00:06:42,690
we did a podcast on that,

264
00:06:43,450 --> 00:06:44,730
I can't remember the exact number off the top of my

265
00:06:44,730 --> 00:06:46,370
head, but it was at the end of the year talking

266
00:06:46,370 --> 00:06:48,050
about don't let your journey be hijacked.

267
00:06:48,100 --> 00:06:49,450
These are related concepts,

268
00:06:49,450 --> 00:06:50,290
meaning, yeah,

269
00:06:50,290 --> 00:06:52,250
don't let somebody else come in and hijack your journey.

270
00:06:52,280 --> 00:06:53,770
Even if you are doing one thing at a time,

271
00:06:53,770 --> 00:06:54,170
you're like,

272
00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:55,210
you got one thing locked in,

273
00:06:55,810 --> 00:06:56,730
somebody else suggests something to you,

274
00:06:56,730 --> 00:06:57,290
and now you're like,

275
00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:58,010
get that locked in.

276
00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:58,490
Well, you're,

277
00:06:58,490 --> 00:06:59,770
you're letting them hijack your journey.

278
00:07:00,070 --> 00:07:01,330
You be the boss of your journey.

279
00:07:01,950 --> 00:07:02,690
If you need guidance,

280
00:07:02,740 --> 00:07:05,050
again, we're happy to do it inside the Pickleball system,

281
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,010
through these types of programs like the Pickleball Therapy podcast or

282
00:07:09,030 --> 00:07:10,410
in our academy courses as well.

283
00:07:10,780 --> 00:07:13,010
We'll give you the no nonsense actionable,

284
00:07:13,010 --> 00:07:13,810
this is what you need to do.

285
00:07:14,590 --> 00:07:15,330
But you need to,

286
00:07:15,330 --> 00:07:17,890
you wanna make sure that what you're working on is what's

287
00:07:17,890 --> 00:07:18,770
most relevant to you.

288
00:07:18,870 --> 00:07:21,490
So there's locking it in and not letting somebody else hijack

289
00:07:21,490 --> 00:07:23,450
it. And also knowing the priority,

290
00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:25,650
right? What is it that's going to gimme the biggest bang

291
00:07:25,710 --> 00:07:27,010
for my buck?

292
00:07:27,730 --> 00:07:28,210
If you need,

293
00:07:28,310 --> 00:07:30,490
one piece of advice I can give you right now is

294
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:32,090
return to serve pretty much,

295
00:07:32,150 --> 00:07:32,490
you know,

296
00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:33,250
don't pass,

297
00:07:33,310 --> 00:07:33,890
go, don't,

298
00:07:33,890 --> 00:07:34,610
don't do anything else.

299
00:07:34,950 --> 00:07:37,490
Return to serve solves a lot of problems in your game.

300
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:38,450
And I guarantee you,

301
00:07:38,630 --> 00:07:38,890
you know,

302
00:07:38,890 --> 00:07:39,730
if you're like most players,

303
00:07:40,330 --> 00:07:41,650
you're probably not working on your return of serve.

304
00:07:41,650 --> 00:07:42,410
It's not a criticism,

305
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:43,250
it's life.

306
00:07:43,410 --> 00:07:43,850
I understand,

307
00:07:44,190 --> 00:07:44,490
you know,

308
00:07:44,490 --> 00:07:45,090
there's third shots,

309
00:07:45,090 --> 00:07:47,010
there's always other shots to that we think we need to

310
00:07:47,010 --> 00:07:47,330
work on.

311
00:07:47,710 --> 00:07:50,010
And so we bypass the return of serve and then end

312
00:07:50,010 --> 00:07:52,090
up playing behind the eight ball and trying to get out

313
00:07:52,090 --> 00:07:53,610
trouble with these other shots that we've worked on.

314
00:07:53,610 --> 00:07:55,050
So if you wanna work on one shot,

315
00:07:55,050 --> 00:07:55,730
you're not sure what to do,

316
00:07:55,730 --> 00:07:56,850
return of serve is a,

317
00:07:56,930 --> 00:07:58,170
a good place to to start.

318
00:07:58,630 --> 00:08:00,130
But whatever it is that you're working on,

319
00:08:00,220 --> 00:08:03,250
right? Make sure that you are focusing on this one thing

320
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:03,610
at a time.

321
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:05,930
Avoid the temptation to have,

322
00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:06,410
you know,

323
00:08:06,410 --> 00:08:10,850
50 things on your list because the chances are better than

324
00:08:10,850 --> 00:08:13,690
not that you're not working on any of the 50 things.

325
00:08:14,270 --> 00:08:17,930
And you'll avoid the frustration of feeling lost out there and,

326
00:08:17,930 --> 00:08:20,730
and feeling like overwhelmed because you'll know that the only thing

327
00:08:20,730 --> 00:08:22,410
that you really need to focus on is this one thing

328
00:08:22,410 --> 00:08:25,330
or two things that you're currently focused on.

329
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:26,650
And that if you do that,

330
00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:28,650
you trust the process and you say,

331
00:08:28,650 --> 00:08:29,530
okay, if I do this,

332
00:08:30,330 --> 00:08:31,770
I know that big picture,

333
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,490
long-term view of my game,

334
00:08:33,630 --> 00:08:34,450
I'm going to improve.

335
00:08:34,590 --> 00:08:37,130
And then the next thing that you wanna work on is

336
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:37,810
still be on the list.

337
00:08:37,810 --> 00:08:38,730
It'll be sitting right there.

338
00:08:39,030 --> 00:08:39,330
You know,

339
00:08:39,330 --> 00:08:39,810
we like to,

340
00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:41,250
to think of Pickleball as being a,

341
00:08:41,250 --> 00:08:41,450
you know,

342
00:08:41,450 --> 00:08:42,370
a lifetime of learning.

343
00:08:42,370 --> 00:08:44,130
It's a lifelong journey of learning.

344
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,050
As long as you remain curious as a bigger ball player,

345
00:08:46,220 --> 00:08:47,770
Pickleball has something to teach you.

346
00:08:47,950 --> 00:08:49,810
So there's always gonna be a next thing to put behind,

347
00:08:49,830 --> 00:08:50,130
you know,

348
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:51,010
when you're done with this thing,

349
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:52,610
don't worry about running outta stuff to do.

350
00:08:53,430 --> 00:08:56,210
But the the flip side is That you can't do 'em

351
00:08:56,210 --> 00:08:56,610
all at once.

352
00:08:56,910 --> 00:08:58,770
And trying to do 'em all at once is a,

353
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:02,410
an ineffective way of advancing in the game.

354
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,090
There's a quote that we really like,

355
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:05,370
if you ever come to one of our camps,

356
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:06,690
you're gonna hear this live because we,

357
00:09:06,690 --> 00:09:07,890
this is a fantastic quote.

358
00:09:07,890 --> 00:09:09,890
It's from the great martial artist,

359
00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:10,690
Bruce Lee.

360
00:09:10,690 --> 00:09:11,250
Rest in peace,

361
00:09:12,350 --> 00:09:14,450
Bruce. But the quote is this,

362
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:15,530
he said,

363
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:19,490
I fear not the fighter who has practiced 10,000

364
00:09:19,510 --> 00:09:20,890
kicks one time,

365
00:09:20,890 --> 00:09:24,450
I fear the fighter who has practiced one kick 10,000

366
00:09:24,250 --> 00:09:25,610
times. So imagine,

367
00:09:25,790 --> 00:09:26,090
you know,

368
00:09:26,090 --> 00:09:27,130
picture those two different fighters.

369
00:09:27,130 --> 00:09:30,210
You have one fighter who has tried out 10,000

370
00:09:30,220 --> 00:09:31,610
kicks, but can't do any of them,

371
00:09:31,610 --> 00:09:32,730
right? Well,

372
00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:33,930
because the doesn't know how to,

373
00:09:33,930 --> 00:09:35,090
they only hit did 'em one time,

374
00:09:35,090 --> 00:09:36,090
right? All the 10,000

375
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:39,330
kicks. But then next that fight you have another fighter who

376
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,330
doesn't have a lot of variety in their,

377
00:09:41,350 --> 00:09:41,970
in their fight,

378
00:09:41,970 --> 00:09:42,730
in their kicks.

379
00:09:42,750 --> 00:09:43,610
But woo,

380
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:44,570
that one kick,

381
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:45,650
you know really well.

382
00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:47,690
That's the fight you gotta worry about.

383
00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:48,970
And Pickleball iss the same way.

384
00:09:48,970 --> 00:09:51,610
Pickleball is about doing a lot of little things better and

385
00:09:51,610 --> 00:09:52,170
better and better,

386
00:09:52,180 --> 00:09:54,450
right? And the way you do that is by locking in

387
00:09:54,450 --> 00:09:56,090
the one kick or the one shot,

388
00:09:56,110 --> 00:09:58,330
the one thing getting very good at it.

389
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,890
Great. Then move on to the next thing.

390
00:10:00,890 --> 00:10:02,610
And that's how you keep one thing at a time in

391
00:10:02,610 --> 00:10:05,530
your focus as you're working on your improvement.

392
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:07,250
Let me know in the,

393
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,570
send me an email at therapy at better at better Pickleball

394
00:10:10,570 --> 00:10:12,490
dot com therapy at better Pickleball dot com.

395
00:10:12,750 --> 00:10:15,090
And lemme know what kind of content you like in the

396
00:10:15,090 --> 00:10:17,090
podcast. Are you liking more the,

397
00:10:18,310 --> 00:10:19,810
the perspective side of things?

398
00:10:19,910 --> 00:10:20,210
You know,

399
00:10:20,210 --> 00:10:22,730
that's like where we talk about bowl of ice cream and

400
00:10:22,730 --> 00:10:23,130
things like that.

401
00:10:23,790 --> 00:10:27,050
Are you enjoying the play aspect of it?

402
00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:29,330
Which is like when we talk about hyper-focusing on the ball,

403
00:10:29,950 --> 00:10:31,970
or do you like the improvement or progress side of it,

404
00:10:31,970 --> 00:10:33,450
which is like this video,

405
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,770
this podcast and video where we're talking about the journey of

406
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:40,250
improvement and locking in one thing at a time.

407
00:10:40,590 --> 00:10:42,730
Our plan is to do all three during the podcast,

408
00:10:43,710 --> 00:10:45,530
but it'd be helpful to know which one you like the

409
00:10:45,530 --> 00:10:48,810
best, which one helps you the most and which one resonates

410
00:10:48,810 --> 00:10:49,370
most with you.

411
00:10:50,070 --> 00:10:51,370
And then be on the lookout.

412
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:53,760
I don't know when this podcast will drop,

413
00:10:53,820 --> 00:10:56,000
but we have a book coming out on the mental side

414
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,560
of Pickleball.

415
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,240
I wanna make sure that you are in the know on

416
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,320
that. If you're on the email list inside Better Pickleball,

417
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,960
we'll send you a notification.

418
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:07,160
If you are certified as a therapist,

419
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:11,400
you'll get first notice that that the book's coming out.

420
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,080
So if you wanna become a Pickleball therapist,

421
00:11:13,350 --> 00:11:14,000
send me an email,

422
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,840
same email therapy at better Pickleball dot com.

423
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:18,440
Put therapist in the subject line that helps me out to

424
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:19,920
identify who's asking about a therapist,

425
00:11:20,140 --> 00:11:21,200
and I'll send you the information.

426
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,400
Then you can make the decision whether becoming a therapist is

427
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,040
right for you.

428
00:11:25,460 --> 00:11:25,880
As always,

429
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,640

430
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:28,160
