00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:01,930
Hello and welcome to Pickleball Therapy,

2
00:00:02,070 --> 00:00:04,650
the podcast dedicated to your Pickleball improvement.

3
00:00:04,690 --> 00:00:06,090
I hope you're doing well out there.

4
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:07,570
My name is Tony Roig.

5
00:00:07,770 --> 00:00:11,530
I am your Pickleball therapy host every week,

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,970
this is actually a special episode we're dropping on the mailbag

7
00:00:15,970 --> 00:00:18,610
episode. So we've gotten a lot of good feedback,

8
00:00:18,730 --> 00:00:19,810
a lot of good questions.

9
00:00:20,670 --> 00:00:23,970
We had really nice conversations with our Pickleball therapist.

10
00:00:24,490 --> 00:00:27,770
I really appreciate you willing to take the time to speak

11
00:00:27,770 --> 00:00:31,530
with us about your Pickleball journey and what we could help

12
00:00:31,530 --> 00:00:32,730
you with in terms of your game.

13
00:00:32,910 --> 00:00:34,090
And we also had some pending,

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,770
pending questions and pendings suggestions inside our,

15
00:00:40,030 --> 00:00:40,810
our mailbag.

16
00:00:41,070 --> 00:00:43,890
And so we want to answer them in this episode.

17
00:00:44,550 --> 00:00:46,770
If you do have a question in the future or something

18
00:00:46,770 --> 00:00:48,530
that you're dealing with,

19
00:00:48,530 --> 00:00:52,050
something that you're struggling as kind of a strong term,

20
00:00:52,050 --> 00:00:54,090
but perhaps you're struggling with something or perhaps it's just something

21
00:00:54,090 --> 00:00:55,530
you have a question about or thinking about,

22
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,810
send us an email therapy at better Pickleball dot com.

23
00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:01,610
We do our best to answer as many of these as

24
00:01:01,610 --> 00:01:03,770
we can in our mailbag episodes.

25
00:01:04,510 --> 00:01:05,450
Before we get started,

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,650
make sure you're checking out and if you're not on our

27
00:01:08,650 --> 00:01:09,090
email list,

28
00:01:09,370 --> 00:01:10,210
I don't know what's happening,

29
00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:11,410
but get on the email list.

30
00:01:11,410 --> 00:01:12,210
It's gotta be good.

31
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:13,850
You get to see a lot of good information in there.

32
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:15,130
But if you are on the email,

33
00:01:15,150 --> 00:01:18,010
be on the lookout for academy courses coming out.

34
00:01:18,010 --> 00:01:20,130
And we have our summit coming up in a few months,

35
00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:21,570
a couple of months now.

36
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:23,370
So be on the lookout for that and just make sure

37
00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:24,330
you get registered for that.

38
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,690
It's gonna be a lot of fun and a lot of

39
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:28,050
good information in there.

40
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,010
Alright, lemme pull up my list here.

41
00:01:30,010 --> 00:01:32,050
And we are gonna dive right into these.

42
00:01:32,710 --> 00:01:36,690
So one of hear from the therapist is talking about the

43
00:01:36,690 --> 00:01:40,170
importance of the mental game as we age,

44
00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:41,210
mental and physical,

45
00:01:41,210 --> 00:01:44,050
right? So challenges that we face in our mental and physical

46
00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:45,570
in terms of,

47
00:01:47,230 --> 00:01:47,490
you know,

48
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:49,050
in terms of how we deal with that as we get

49
00:01:49,050 --> 00:01:49,650
older. 'cause you know,

50
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,530
none of us is getting younger and,

51
00:01:51,630 --> 00:01:56,210
and certainly changes over time in terms of how we,

52
00:01:57,310 --> 00:01:57,610
you know,

53
00:01:57,630 --> 00:01:59,170
how we address those things.

54
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:00,970
So basically,

55
00:02:00,970 --> 00:02:01,210
you know,

56
00:02:01,210 --> 00:02:03,050
what I would suggest to you as we get older is,

57
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:04,090
you know,

58
00:02:04,090 --> 00:02:07,690
we have to be cognizant,

59
00:02:07,690 --> 00:02:09,610
right? Of life,

60
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:13,530
right? And cognizant of change in our bodies and change in

61
00:02:13,550 --> 00:02:15,410
our, in our minds,

62
00:02:15,410 --> 00:02:17,010
right? And change in our ability,

63
00:02:17,110 --> 00:02:17,570
for instance,

64
00:02:17,570 --> 00:02:19,690
to stay focused for longer and things like that is gonna

65
00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:21,010
be more challenging as we get older.

66
00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:22,490
By definition,

67
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:24,210
we're probably gonna end up playing younger players,

68
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:24,690
right? As,

69
00:02:24,850 --> 00:02:26,450
as we age and new players come in,

70
00:02:26,670 --> 00:02:27,890
that's just gonna be part of the process.

71
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:29,650
And you know,

72
00:02:29,810 --> 00:02:32,010
the, the key there is to understand that,

73
00:02:32,030 --> 00:02:34,570
be okay with it and then start thinking about the game

74
00:02:34,660 --> 00:02:35,650
maybe a little bit differently,

75
00:02:35,660 --> 00:02:40,850
right? Think about how can you outsmart a player who maybe

76
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:44,130
physically is younger and able to do things that you maybe

77
00:02:44,130 --> 00:02:44,570
can't do.

78
00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:47,250
One option would be be more patient,

79
00:02:47,340 --> 00:02:49,690
right? Another option would be to,

80
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:51,930
to use a cord better.

81
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,770
Meaning like particularly the out bounds,

82
00:02:53,770 --> 00:02:55,610
right? If young players want to hit hard,

83
00:02:55,710 --> 00:02:57,210
so you use the out bounds to your advantage.

84
00:02:57,950 --> 00:02:58,490
So, you know,

85
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:01,250
think of ways that you can use your,

86
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:02,610
your savvy,

87
00:03:02,610 --> 00:03:08,130
right? Your wisdom to outplay those players and that'll give you,

88
00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:08,650
you know,

89
00:03:08,770 --> 00:03:12,050
a competitive edge that frankly the young players don't have,

90
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:14,850
even though they have perhaps athletically they can get around better

91
00:03:14,910 --> 00:03:15,530
and things like that.

92
00:03:15,550 --> 00:03:18,890
So consider that in terms of your approach to the game,

93
00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:19,890
but also,

94
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:20,650
again, you know,

95
00:03:20,650 --> 00:03:23,210
think about it in terms of just being aware and being

96
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:24,210
okay with the fact that,

97
00:03:24,430 --> 00:03:24,730
you know,

98
00:03:24,900 --> 00:03:25,410
we're not,

99
00:03:25,900 --> 00:03:27,090
we're not springing chickens anymore.

100
00:03:27,090 --> 00:03:27,770
And that's okay.

101
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,450
Jeff asked a question that's related to this one.

102
00:03:31,450 --> 00:03:32,450
So I want to talk about this one.

103
00:03:33,170 --> 00:03:35,090
It's about the journey of Pickleball,

104
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:38,370
right? And the journey being more than just Pickleball,

105
00:03:38,370 --> 00:03:39,130
which I agree with.

106
00:03:39,590 --> 00:03:40,010
And then,

107
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:40,770
you know,

108
00:03:40,770 --> 00:03:44,610
he wanted me to talk about the growth process and,

109
00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:50,690
and basically the idea that he says the Pickleball journey seems

110
00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:52,050
to follow a logarithmic curve.

111
00:03:53,430 --> 00:03:54,170
It basically,

112
00:03:54,350 --> 00:03:54,650
you know,

113
00:03:54,690 --> 00:03:56,730
you go up the curve and then you kind of flatline

114
00:03:56,730 --> 00:03:58,490
for a little bit and then maybe you dip a little

115
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:59,930
and go up a little and things like that.

116
00:04:00,550 --> 00:04:01,010
And so,

117
00:04:01,630 --> 00:04:01,970
you know,

118
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:04,090
the, the question that Jeff had was basically,

119
00:04:04,090 --> 00:04:04,970
how do I keep improving,

120
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:05,730
right? I'm he,

121
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,770
he's 65,

122
00:04:06,770 --> 00:04:07,530
2 bad knees,

123
00:04:07,530 --> 00:04:07,650
et cetera.

124
00:04:07,650 --> 00:04:08,450
So it relates to,

125
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:09,850
again, as we get older,

126
00:04:10,150 --> 00:04:13,330
as our bodies maybe don't work the same as they used

127
00:04:13,330 --> 00:04:15,970
to. We just have to think about the game a little

128
00:04:15,970 --> 00:04:16,530
more broadly,

129
00:04:16,530 --> 00:04:18,690
right? Step back from the game perhaps and say,

130
00:04:18,690 --> 00:04:19,130
you know what,

131
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,290
this approach that I was bringing to the game isn't working

132
00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:26,010
any longer or my body isn't able to do it anymore.

133
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:28,330
So is there another way that I can come at the

134
00:04:28,330 --> 00:04:31,850
game? I will tell you that pretty much no matter your

135
00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:34,850
age, the soft game is always going to be there for

136
00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:35,530
you, okay?

137
00:04:36,130 --> 00:04:39,170
Meaning understanding how to use the non volley zone better and

138
00:04:39,170 --> 00:04:39,810
better and better.

139
00:04:40,550 --> 00:04:44,050
How to stress your opponents inside the non volley zone is

140
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:46,730
gonna be a super powerful way of playing as you get

141
00:04:46,730 --> 00:04:49,810
older. If you're trying to simply out muscle other players,

142
00:04:50,830 --> 00:04:52,170
that's gonna become more difficult,

143
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:54,130
right? And this extends beyond age,

144
00:04:54,130 --> 00:04:55,370
right? This is the function.

145
00:04:55,370 --> 00:04:57,290
So ties of just physical size,

146
00:04:57,290 --> 00:05:00,250
right? If you're a smaller player and you're playing larger players

147
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:02,730
out, muscling them isn't gonna be the best strategy.

148
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:04,610
So the better strategy there would be to what?

149
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:06,690
Use your nogging,

150
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:10,130
right? Use that Foss approach of understanding the game and say,

151
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,490
okay, what can I do here that's gonna be more effective?

152
00:05:12,990 --> 00:05:14,970
And I'll repeat myself here one last time.

153
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:17,250
The soft game will always be there for you.

154
00:05:17,310 --> 00:05:18,650
So become a soft game master,

155
00:05:18,660 --> 00:05:20,490
right? Think about it like,

156
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:21,410
you know,

157
00:05:21,550 --> 00:05:23,250
if you know martial arts or mixed martial arts,

158
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,330
there's the boxers and wrestlers and ones that are,

159
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:27,170
or little,

160
00:05:27,290 --> 00:05:27,650
I mean,

161
00:05:27,650 --> 00:05:28,210
there's technique,

162
00:05:28,210 --> 00:05:29,450
right? But there's a little more Braun,

163
00:05:29,490 --> 00:05:30,210
a little more strengthened.

164
00:05:30,210 --> 00:05:31,890
Those a little more just power overpowering.

165
00:05:32,310 --> 00:05:34,490
And then there's a juujitsu martial artist,

166
00:05:34,490 --> 00:05:37,330
right? That does those things a little bit differently and suffocates

167
00:05:37,330 --> 00:05:37,930
their opponents.

168
00:05:37,930 --> 00:05:39,850
And that's something that you can learn how to do by

169
00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:42,050
using the soft game.

170
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,690
Alright? Let's see here from Pete.

171
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,530
Pete wrote me,

172
00:05:46,530 --> 00:05:49,450
wrote me a message a little bit ago about reflecting on

173
00:05:49,450 --> 00:05:51,370
Pickleball and thinking that how,

174
00:05:51,710 --> 00:05:52,010
you know,

175
00:05:52,010 --> 00:05:54,130
a lot of the players that Pete's seeing out there are

176
00:05:54,130 --> 00:05:54,850
just banging the ball,

177
00:05:54,850 --> 00:05:55,970
right? As hard as they can hit it.

178
00:05:56,110 --> 00:05:58,170
And this is a common conversation these days,

179
00:05:58,170 --> 00:05:59,330
right? The game's getting faster,

180
00:05:59,510 --> 00:06:00,250
the game's getting,

181
00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:00,730
you know,

182
00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:05,730
harder. And his contention he says is Players watch the highlights

183
00:06:05,870 --> 00:06:07,730
of pro rallies and firefights.

184
00:06:07,730 --> 00:06:08,170
And he says,

185
00:06:08,170 --> 00:06:08,650
which are awesome.

186
00:06:08,670 --> 00:06:10,770
And I agree and think this is how the game is

187
00:06:10,770 --> 00:06:11,610
played. What say you,

188
00:06:12,410 --> 00:06:14,930
I would say that I'm gonna,

189
00:06:15,140 --> 00:06:16,570
maybe I said the soft game.

190
00:06:16,690 --> 00:06:18,890
I I I was ahead of myself when I said the

191
00:06:18,890 --> 00:06:19,170
last time.

192
00:06:19,170 --> 00:06:20,730
I'm gonna say the soft game folks.

193
00:06:20,830 --> 00:06:22,050
The soft game is works.

194
00:06:22,270 --> 00:06:24,610
The soft game is a very effective way of playing Pickleball.

195
00:06:25,550 --> 00:06:28,610
Are there players who are coming in and hitting harder and

196
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:31,090
harder than maybe it was 10 years ago?

197
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:31,890
Yeah, you know,

198
00:06:32,930 --> 00:06:33,170
I mean,

199
00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:35,290
I think it was about 10 years ago.

200
00:06:35,310 --> 00:06:35,610
You know,

201
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,130
Enrique Rui is a condor,

202
00:06:37,190 --> 00:06:38,330
won a hall of famer,

203
00:06:38,330 --> 00:06:41,770
amazing player was winning singles and doubles and everything.

204
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,210
He's an amazing Pickleball player.

205
00:06:43,210 --> 00:06:45,170
Don't, I'm not trying to take anything away from Enrique,

206
00:06:45,910 --> 00:06:47,690
but Enrique is not a power player.

207
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,210
Enrique is a touch player,

208
00:06:49,270 --> 00:06:51,690
he is a soft and then lobby and things like that,

209
00:06:52,010 --> 00:06:55,210
right? The players coming in now that are coming in from

210
00:06:55,210 --> 00:06:56,330
like at the pro level,

211
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:59,450
right? They're coming in from division one college and even some

212
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,330
pros and things like that.

213
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:01,090
Pro tennis players,

214
00:07:01,150 --> 00:07:01,650
pro you know,

215
00:07:01,650 --> 00:07:02,610
high level racquetball players.

216
00:07:02,690 --> 00:07:04,650
I think Dale La Rosa was number one in racquetball.

217
00:07:05,590 --> 00:07:05,930
You know,

218
00:07:05,930 --> 00:07:06,290
you have,

219
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,250
they just come with a different mindset and they can do

220
00:07:09,250 --> 00:07:10,290
things with the ball that,

221
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,530
that weren't as common before.

222
00:07:13,310 --> 00:07:16,170
But that doesn't really change most Pickleball.

223
00:07:16,430 --> 00:07:17,570
And what I mean by that is,

224
00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:19,370
if you can play a good soft game,

225
00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:20,970
you can do that jujitsu thing,

226
00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:23,170
right? Where you're like a python snake and you're just wrapping

227
00:07:23,170 --> 00:07:23,690
around the,

228
00:07:23,790 --> 00:07:26,850
the the hard player and just you suffocate them with the

229
00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:27,250
soft game.

230
00:07:27,630 --> 00:07:30,130
So don't get what I say,

231
00:07:30,130 --> 00:07:30,690
Pete is,

232
00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:32,050
and I agree with you,

233
00:07:32,050 --> 00:07:33,090
right? I agree with what you're saying,

234
00:07:33,090 --> 00:07:33,770
but just in general,

235
00:07:33,940 --> 00:07:35,930
don't get the,

236
00:07:35,930 --> 00:07:36,570
don't let the,

237
00:07:36,590 --> 00:07:37,170
the, the,

238
00:07:37,510 --> 00:07:40,810
the bright lights of the pro matches with all the hard

239
00:07:40,810 --> 00:07:43,610
shots distract you from solid,

240
00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:44,970
fundamentally good Pickleball.

241
00:07:45,270 --> 00:07:47,090
And the last thought I have on this is if you

242
00:07:47,090 --> 00:07:48,370
watch the very,

243
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,090
very, very,

244
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,690
very best of the pros,

245
00:07:51,660 --> 00:07:56,170
those are generally winning with a combination of hard and an

246
00:07:56,410 --> 00:07:57,010
excellent soft game.

247
00:07:57,590 --> 00:08:00,450
The pro players who only have a hard game don't make

248
00:08:00,450 --> 00:08:02,370
it far because the players who have a good soft game

249
00:08:02,370 --> 00:08:03,210
could just out grind them.

250
00:08:03,230 --> 00:08:04,650
So the soft game still exists,

251
00:08:05,490 --> 00:08:07,770
even if it doesn't make the highlight reels that often.

252
00:08:08,750 --> 00:08:09,050
All right,

253
00:08:09,050 --> 00:08:09,650
let's see here.

254
00:08:10,770 --> 00:08:15,190
Question here from a therapist or a comment from a therapist.

255
00:08:15,210 --> 00:08:17,110
So talking about tournament play,

256
00:08:17,110 --> 00:08:19,070
right? So dealing with tournament pressure,

257
00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:20,270
I might cut out for tournaments,

258
00:08:21,350 --> 00:08:23,430
anything related to tournament prep and things like that,

259
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:25,310
that's an interesting question.

260
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,470
There is a difference,

261
00:08:26,610 --> 00:08:26,910
you know,

262
00:08:26,910 --> 00:08:30,340
between rec or open play kind of play.

263
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,420
And then whether it's a tournament or a ladder league or

264
00:08:33,580 --> 00:08:34,220
a team league,

265
00:08:34,460 --> 00:08:34,780
whatever it is,

266
00:08:34,780 --> 00:08:35,020
you know,

267
00:08:35,020 --> 00:08:36,220
something that's a little more competitive,

268
00:08:36,490 --> 00:08:37,780
it's gonna feel a little bit different.

269
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:38,620
You know,

270
00:08:38,620 --> 00:08:43,540
your, your approach to the game is a little more structured.

271
00:08:43,540 --> 00:08:44,140
Meaning like,

272
00:08:44,140 --> 00:08:44,860
like for instance,

273
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,380
I'm gonna talk about targeting in a minute,

274
00:08:46,660 --> 00:08:48,140
actually that'll be the next question I do 'cause it'll segue

275
00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:49,620
nicely. But like for instance,

276
00:08:49,620 --> 00:08:53,100
targeting in tournaments is not only targeting meaning means like you

277
00:08:53,500 --> 00:08:55,730
identify a weaker player or a weaker side of a player

278
00:08:55,750 --> 00:09:00,730
and just hit that spot relentlessly in tournament's and competitive play.

279
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:03,210
Not only is it okay to do that,

280
00:09:03,610 --> 00:09:06,490
I would submit that it is recommended and advisable to do

281
00:09:06,490 --> 00:09:08,650
that because that is the best strategy in those situations.

282
00:09:08,950 --> 00:09:12,290
So your mindset does change when you're playing tournament versus rec

283
00:09:12,290 --> 00:09:14,290
play, then open play.

284
00:09:14,310 --> 00:09:16,410
And certainly you're gonna feel a little more anxious obviously,

285
00:09:16,410 --> 00:09:17,930
or maybe a lot more anxious when you're playing in a

286
00:09:17,930 --> 00:09:18,570
tournament than you're,

287
00:09:18,570 --> 00:09:19,090
you're playing in,

288
00:09:19,090 --> 00:09:19,330
you know,

289
00:09:19,330 --> 00:09:19,610
at your,

290
00:09:19,630 --> 00:09:20,610
in your local courts.

291
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:21,850
That said,

292
00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:23,770
what I'm going to tell you is that we have a,

293
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:27,090
if you're a tournament player or thinking about playing tournaments,

294
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:28,570
we actually have a,

295
00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:30,610
an entire 90 minute course that we're gonna be,

296
00:09:31,450 --> 00:09:33,770
I think it's coming out April 10th,

297
00:09:33,770 --> 00:09:35,890
I think is the date that it's gonna go public.

298
00:09:35,890 --> 00:09:38,450
It's a Wednesday that we're gonna have it.

299
00:09:38,450 --> 00:09:40,370
And so if you want to check that out,

300
00:09:40,370 --> 00:09:42,610
be on the lookout for that and,

301
00:09:42,610 --> 00:09:44,290
and sign up for that class.

302
00:09:44,290 --> 00:09:44,530
It's gonna be,

303
00:09:44,590 --> 00:09:45,330
I'm leading the class.

304
00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:46,290
It's gonna be super,

305
00:09:46,930 --> 00:09:47,770
I I played,

306
00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:49,610
I, I remember how many terms I played.

307
00:09:49,790 --> 00:09:51,930
It has to be 50 plus but you know,

308
00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:55,250
I'm very versed in tournament play and the best way to

309
00:09:55,250 --> 00:09:56,170
get the most out of a tournament.

310
00:09:56,230 --> 00:09:59,130
So check that out if you wanna play tournaments or thinking

311
00:09:59,130 --> 00:09:59,690
about a tournament.

312
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,250
Alright there,

313
00:10:01,350 --> 00:10:02,890
oh lemme go to the one on targeting.

314
00:10:02,890 --> 00:10:07,530
So targeting came in on the YouTube channel and if you

315
00:10:07,530 --> 00:10:07,810
don't know,

316
00:10:07,810 --> 00:10:10,170
we actually have a YouTube channel for Pickleball therapy as well.

317
00:10:10,190 --> 00:10:11,570
So feel free to check us out there.

318
00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:15,250
If you wanna see my smiling face on your screen while

319
00:10:15,310 --> 00:10:17,210
I'm chatting with you about the mental part of the game,

320
00:10:17,210 --> 00:10:19,290
you can go over to Pickleball therapy on YouTube.

321
00:10:19,790 --> 00:10:20,770
If you do go over there,

322
00:10:20,770 --> 00:10:22,730
please do subscribe to the channel to help us get,

323
00:10:22,820 --> 00:10:24,810
we're trying to get to a thousand subscribers 'cause that'll really

324
00:10:24,810 --> 00:10:25,810
help us reach other players.

325
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:27,450
YouTube, if,

326
00:10:27,450 --> 00:10:27,930
you know,

327
00:10:27,930 --> 00:10:28,970
is very algorithmic.

328
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:31,410
So they need certain metrics to be met and a thousand

329
00:10:31,410 --> 00:10:32,130
is important to them.

330
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,730
Okay, so the question was what do you do on rec

331
00:10:35,730 --> 00:10:36,610
play when a player says,

332
00:10:36,610 --> 00:10:39,370
you never hit to me the whole game seems that's part

333
00:10:39,370 --> 00:10:39,890
of the strategy.

334
00:10:40,330 --> 00:10:41,010
Identify weaker player.

335
00:10:41,010 --> 00:10:42,770
This is from Greg again on the YouTube channel.

336
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:44,370
Greg, here's the thing.

337
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:50,130
So targeting is fine in the sense that it's a strategic

338
00:10:50,410 --> 00:10:51,170
consideration for sure,

339
00:10:51,170 --> 00:10:52,810
right? And if you're in a competitive setting,

340
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,570
then I'm a huge fan of targeting and I think it's,

341
00:10:57,540 --> 00:10:58,410
again, not only,

342
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,610
okay, I think it's recommended.

343
00:11:00,650 --> 00:11:03,530
I, I would recommend targeting in a competitive setting and a

344
00:11:03,530 --> 00:11:04,690
non-competitive setting.

345
00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:05,610
And by that I mean like,

346
00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:05,970
you know,

347
00:11:06,030 --> 00:11:06,810
rec open play,

348
00:11:06,810 --> 00:11:07,410
that sort of thing.

349
00:11:08,130 --> 00:11:12,170
I would recommend not targeting the opposite right now I don't

350
00:11:12,330 --> 00:11:14,690
recommend freezing out the weaker player,

351
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:16,930
right? So it's not like every ball goes to the stronger

352
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:19,490
player. I'd recommend playing situationally,

353
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:20,890
meaning, you know,

354
00:11:20,890 --> 00:11:22,810
hit the balls to different spots depending on where you want

355
00:11:23,090 --> 00:11:26,610
hit 'em without consideration for this player stronger and this player's

356
00:11:26,610 --> 00:11:28,770
weaker identifying the weaker player,

357
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:30,370
great. In other words,

358
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:31,050
good skillset,

359
00:11:31,100 --> 00:11:31,850
right? To have.

360
00:11:32,590 --> 00:11:34,850
So you've identified that player A is a weaker player and

361
00:11:34,850 --> 00:11:35,610
player B stronger.

362
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,850
Good. That's a good skill to have,

363
00:11:37,850 --> 00:11:39,730
particularly if you're gonna play competitively at some point.

364
00:11:40,190 --> 00:11:41,250
But in a rec play,

365
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,090
what happens is,

366
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,570
there's a couple reasons why you don't want to target the

367
00:11:45,570 --> 00:11:47,930
weaker player besides the fact that,

368
00:11:49,140 --> 00:11:50,570
again, from our perspective,

369
00:11:50,570 --> 00:11:53,130
winning and losing shouldn't be the metric anyway.

370
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:54,930
And particularly not in rec games 'cause there's no,

371
00:11:54,930 --> 00:11:56,930
it's not a tournament or anything where you advancing if you

372
00:11:56,930 --> 00:11:59,650
win, but there's a few other reasons.

373
00:11:59,790 --> 00:12:02,970
One is you're gonna discourage the better players from coming to

374
00:12:02,970 --> 00:12:03,330
your group.

375
00:12:03,710 --> 00:12:08,410
And so as a player who oftentimes is the better player

376
00:12:08,410 --> 00:12:09,690
in open play situations,

377
00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:12,010
if you don't hit me the ball,

378
00:12:12,770 --> 00:12:13,930
I have no reason to come back,

379
00:12:14,260 --> 00:12:15,970
right? If you're not hitting me any balls,

380
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,850
then why would I come play with you,

381
00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:18,810
right? I'm not gonna come.

382
00:12:19,230 --> 00:12:20,490
So that's one reason.

383
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,010
Another reason is for yourself because it's gives you a really

384
00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:24,490
if, if,

385
00:12:24,630 --> 00:12:26,490
if player B is in fact a better player,

386
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,490
then hit the player B to see what kind of balls

387
00:12:29,490 --> 00:12:30,850
player B hits back at you,

388
00:12:30,850 --> 00:12:32,930
right? So that you can then improve as a player.

389
00:12:33,510 --> 00:12:34,970
So rec play,

390
00:12:35,450 --> 00:12:37,450
recommend not targeting in,

391
00:12:38,470 --> 00:12:39,970
in competitive play tournaments.

392
00:12:40,030 --> 00:12:42,810
Yes, targeting is amazingly the right thing to do.

393
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,210
Alright, another question from a therapist.

394
00:12:46,210 --> 00:12:47,970
What do you do when you feel like you've outgrown your

395
00:12:48,490 --> 00:12:50,170
original Pickleball foursome or group?

396
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:51,690
That's an interesting question,

397
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:53,210
right? I mean it's obviously there's,

398
00:12:53,270 --> 00:12:53,570
you know,

399
00:12:53,570 --> 00:12:56,530
Pickleball has different layers to it in terms of how we

400
00:12:56,530 --> 00:12:57,010
relate to it,

401
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:58,210
our relationship with the sport.

402
00:12:59,410 --> 00:13:02,050
I would suggest that you can find a balance.

403
00:13:02,430 --> 00:13:06,210
And what I mean by that is you can still play

404
00:13:06,210 --> 00:13:07,130
with your pickle,

405
00:13:07,530 --> 00:13:08,530
original foursome or group.

406
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,090
When you do that,

407
00:13:10,430 --> 00:13:12,930
you are going to work on certain parts of your game,

408
00:13:13,180 --> 00:13:15,530
right? That perhaps,

409
00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:16,770
you know,

410
00:13:16,770 --> 00:13:19,010
you're not as comfortable working on when you're playing in a

411
00:13:19,010 --> 00:13:19,570
higher setting,

412
00:13:19,570 --> 00:13:20,490
right? A higher level setting.

413
00:13:20,490 --> 00:13:21,090
And that's normal,

414
00:13:21,470 --> 00:13:21,770
you know,

415
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:23,410
and what I mean by that is like,

416
00:13:23,790 --> 00:13:26,130
say you're working on like a particular,

417
00:13:26,130 --> 00:13:27,170
like your backend dinks,

418
00:13:27,170 --> 00:13:30,610
right? And at the higher level you're not comfortable with a

419
00:13:30,610 --> 00:13:31,090
backend dink.

420
00:13:31,090 --> 00:13:32,370
So maybe you run around it a little bit,

421
00:13:32,430 --> 00:13:33,290
hit more forehands.

422
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:35,450
So when you play in the group that's not,

423
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,610
that hasn't kept up,

424
00:13:36,610 --> 00:13:40,130
right? Take that as an opportunity to work on shots that

425
00:13:40,130 --> 00:13:41,730
you wouldn't otherwise hit.

426
00:13:41,900 --> 00:13:43,370
Could be an Avis lob,

427
00:13:43,460 --> 00:13:44,850
could be backhand dinks,

428
00:13:44,850 --> 00:13:46,370
it could be moving the dinks around differently.

429
00:13:46,370 --> 00:13:48,730
Maybe you hit your dinks cross court and you can use

430
00:13:48,730 --> 00:13:49,130
that op,

431
00:13:49,130 --> 00:13:51,330
that opportunity to hit more dinks straight or in the middle

432
00:13:51,390 --> 00:13:52,530
or some other dinks,

433
00:13:52,530 --> 00:13:54,650
right? Because what happens is when you're play in those groups

434
00:13:54,650 --> 00:13:55,290
that they're less,

435
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,730
there's less pressure on you,

436
00:13:56,730 --> 00:13:57,410
less stress on you.

437
00:13:57,590 --> 00:14:00,410
And so you're more free to try different things and you

438
00:14:00,410 --> 00:14:03,010
can still maintain your social relationship with those folks,

439
00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:04,450
you know?

440
00:14:04,450 --> 00:14:05,890
So you basically go out there as it's,

441
00:14:05,890 --> 00:14:07,330
it's like a drilling session kind of,

442
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:07,570
you know,

443
00:14:07,570 --> 00:14:07,850
it's not,

444
00:14:07,850 --> 00:14:08,690
doesn't replace drilling,

445
00:14:08,710 --> 00:14:11,170
but it becomes that where you can kinda like just practice

446
00:14:11,210 --> 00:14:13,650
a little bit and just take the moment to enjoy your

447
00:14:13,650 --> 00:14:15,650
friends and then you make time to play in the other

448
00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:16,570
groups that you wanna play in.

449
00:14:16,570 --> 00:14:17,490
So you just balance it out.

450
00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:19,690
I can tell you that's what Jill and I have done

451
00:14:19,690 --> 00:14:20,290
over the years,

452
00:14:21,110 --> 00:14:21,370
you know,

453
00:14:21,530 --> 00:14:23,970
because we have improved in a way that,

454
00:14:24,750 --> 00:14:25,050
you know,

455
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,370
perhaps in some of the groups that we used to play

456
00:14:27,370 --> 00:14:30,330
in just wouldn't be fair for us to play at at

457
00:14:30,330 --> 00:14:30,650
our level,

458
00:14:30,650 --> 00:14:31,810
right? The way that we can play.

459
00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:33,050
So when we play with those groups,

460
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:33,650
we, you know,

461
00:14:33,650 --> 00:14:34,050
we love them,

462
00:14:34,070 --> 00:14:34,970
we, we like the people,

463
00:14:35,030 --> 00:14:35,770
we like the folks.

464
00:14:35,770 --> 00:14:36,970
So we go out there and we play a little bit

465
00:14:36,970 --> 00:14:38,650
differently, we play more soft game,

466
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,170
more trying a few different things,

467
00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:41,530
you know,

468
00:14:41,530 --> 00:14:42,050
things like that.

469
00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:43,730
So that'd be my recommendation.

470
00:14:43,750 --> 00:14:44,090
You can,

471
00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:45,610
you can walk that line.

472
00:14:46,510 --> 00:14:49,130
And then the last one I'm going to address in this

473
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,210
mailbag episode is actually,

474
00:14:53,310 --> 00:14:54,850
I'm going to tell you what it is and I'm gonna

475
00:14:54,850 --> 00:14:55,930
do a whole episode on this one.

476
00:14:55,930 --> 00:14:58,770
So this one had to do with a lot of the

477
00:14:58,770 --> 00:15:00,410
therapists were asking about tendencies,

478
00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:01,330
right? So like,

479
00:15:01,950 --> 00:15:02,250
you know,

480
00:15:02,310 --> 00:15:05,210
we always talk about the game being a game of tendencies,

481
00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:06,370
Pickleball a game of tendencies.

482
00:15:06,750 --> 00:15:10,290
So the suggestion was could we make a list of common

483
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:12,650
tendencies that we see so we can look at those,

484
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:14,890
look for those in our opponents and how to capitalize on

485
00:15:15,010 --> 00:15:15,690
'em. Great question,

486
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,650
good way to exploit that knowledge.

487
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:22,730
And I'll do a subsequent episode entirely on tendencies.

488
00:15:22,950 --> 00:15:23,330
So again,

489
00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:25,410
if you have any questions about Pickleball,

490
00:15:25,550 --> 00:15:26,770
the mental side or anything else,

491
00:15:26,770 --> 00:15:30,250
just feel free to shoot us an email at therapy at

492
00:15:30,470 --> 00:15:33,930
better Pickleball dot com and we'll put it in the podcast

493
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,170
mailbag for the next mailbag episode.

494
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:40,010
Hope you enjoyed this special episode.

495
00:15:40,150 --> 00:15:42,130
The episode that is dropping this week,

496
00:15:42,390 --> 00:15:43,410
I'm looking at my notes here,

497
00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:50,170
is going to be about podcast language or it's not podcast

498
00:15:50,450 --> 00:15:51,730
language. Podcast is about language.

499
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:58,050
It's about language and it's about protecting yourself because there's oftentimes

500
00:15:58,570 --> 00:16:02,890
language that we use that specifically I'm gonna dive into language

501
00:16:02,890 --> 00:16:05,570
that we lose around the concept of losing or on losses

502
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,330
that is potentially harmful and can,

503
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:12,330
it just puts bad thoughts into our mind,

504
00:16:12,330 --> 00:16:14,570
right? Just not a positive way of interacting with losses.

505
00:16:15,030 --> 00:16:18,250
So I wanna talk about that in this week's regular podcast,

506
00:16:18,340 --> 00:16:19,850
which will drop on Friday.

507
00:16:20,650 --> 00:16:21,770
Hope you enjoyed the special episode,

508
00:16:21,830 --> 00:16:24,970
and we will see you at our regular episode on Friday.

509
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:26,290
Have a great rest of your week.
