00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,575
Hello and welcome to Pickleballl Therapy,
the podcast dedicated to

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,340
your Pickleball improvement.
I hope you're having a great week.

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,655
This week's podcast, I think you're going
to enjoy a concept that

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,855
I've been exploring.

5
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,655
And I'm actually going to ask you for your
help with this podcast because I think

6
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,455
it's an interesting concept and maybe
you can help me develop this idea.

7
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,375
It's a new way of thinking about
engaging with different options that we

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:33,920
have when we're playing in terms of
looking for wins and results.

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,215
And I think you'll find it a pretty
interesting way of thinking about how we

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,900
interact with the sport of pickleball.

11
00:00:39,925 --> 00:00:43,920
And then in the RIF, I have a great shout
out that I'm going to share that

12
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,015
it really helps us actually analyze what
we're working on today

13
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,255
or what we're developing.

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,295
So I think it's pretty helpful.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,800
It's a, I think, was it two stars?

16
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,200
I'm sorry, they actually got two stars.

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Better than one star, I guess.

18
00:00:58,585 --> 00:01:03,360
But it was I don't know why it wasn't one
star based on the language of the

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,680
review, but we'll talk about it because
everybody's in the out of

20
00:01:06,705 --> 00:01:08,215
their opinion, I guess.

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,320
And I think it gives us an opportunity
to work on the main subject today.

22
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,055
As we dive into the podcast,
As I mentioned, try and mention every

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,455
week, one of our loves
in pickleball is coaching.

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,815
And so we offer several different types of
coaching opportunities

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,695
at Better Pickleball.

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,455
If it's something that we can ever help
you with, please check

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:29,535
out our coaching options.

28
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,775
We have an academy, we have the pickleball
system, which is a year long course.

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,520
We have some direct coaching that
we're doing now and things like that.

30
00:01:35,545 --> 00:01:39,215
So if you're not sure what we do, well,
first of all, make sure you're on our

31
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,135
email list because you'll be notified
of different things that come out.

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,455
And then if you have a question, you can
always send us an email at either

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,400

com and get you an answer if you're
interested in learning more about

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,655
the great sport of pickleball.

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,375
All right, let's dive
into the subject of...

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,100
Oh, one more housekeeping note, sorry.

38
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,880
If you're listening to this podcast the
day it comes out, I will still be in St.

39
00:02:03,905 --> 00:02:05,560
Louis at Major League Pickleball.

40
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,575
So if you're going to happen to be
in that area, please say hello to me.

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:09,575
I'll be wearing an orange cap.

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,170
It should be pretty easy to locate.

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,335
And I know sometimes players
are hesitant to say hello.

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,975
I guarantee you or promise you that I
won't bite and you can always say hello.

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
And maybe we can take
a photo if you want to.

46
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:23,055
All right, let's dive
into the main topic today.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:29,960
So I've been playing with this idea of
how do you deal with situations where

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:38,560
where we
get bogged down in trying to seek a,

49
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:45,480
what I will submit to you is a
smaller or more immediate victory or win,

50
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,575
when there may be, in fact,
a bigger win available to us.

51
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,200
So this idea that, should we think
about maybe going for the bigger win?

52
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:04,375
And there's different ways of
of exemplifying it or illustrating it,

53
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:10,535
which I think make it easier to process
the information or process

54
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,815
the concept, I should say.

55
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,720
So let's play with a couple of those, and
then maybe we can see where we take this

56
00:03:14,745 --> 00:03:18,655
concept But I think it may end up being a
pretty helpful concept for us as we

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,160
continue to work through our mental
journeys as pickleball players.

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,680
So one
example that comes up in my mind is, as

59
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,495
you may I play senior professional
pickleball, so I'm a pretty

60
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:33,980
decent pickleball player.

61
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,175
And let's say that sometimes I will go to
open plays and things

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:39,120
like that and mix in.

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,960
So let's say I'm playing in a mixed game
of some 3-0, some 3-5, some

64
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,580
4-Ls, and things like that.

65
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,240
Now, I can basically try to take over my
side of the court,

66
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:57,015
hit the ball super hard at players, do my
thing, and then maybe probably end

67
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,720
up with the win in the game, right?
Probably.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,215
Not 100 %, but probably.

69
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:08,120
Another option is I can play a more
inclusive style of pickle ball.

70
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,400
And what I mean by that is,
is play at a level that allows the other

71
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,575
players on the court to enjoy the
experience, to be challenged, but to enjoy

72
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,855
the experience, to move the ball around,
to get some exercise, to hit some balls

73
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,820
back and forth and things like that.

74
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,520
Allow my partner, who may also be a 3-0 or
3-5, to hit as many balls as they can that

75
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,360
are reasonably theirs, as opposed to
taking a bunch of the court,

76
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:42,800
and potentially reduce my
chances of winning that game.

77
00:04:44,840 --> 00:04:51,720
But I guess the question in that situation
is, or the thought there is, when I do so,

78
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
am I not chasing the bigger win?

79
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:04,440
I may I lose the game,
but perhaps I'm gaining

80
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,215
something even bigger
than the score of an arbitrary score in a

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,440
game, that at the end of the day is not
going to make a difference to anybody.

82
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,640
So That's one area where you
can think about that concept.

83
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,560
Another area we can think about it is
in something like an outball dispute.

84
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,055
So let's say you make the call
and you call it out.

85
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,200
You see it, you're That's out.
I'm going to make the call.

86
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,720
And your opponent is
just losing their mind.

87
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,840
I mean, they're just
absolutely losing their mind.

88
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,560
Now, it's your call.

89
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,375
And if you called it out, I'm
okay with the fact that you saw it out.

90
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,895
You believe it to be out based on the
information that you received from your

91
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,800
eyes and your mind processing
that optic information, et cetera.

92
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:03,640
So you have every right to win
the call argument.

93
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,400
Okay?
I mean, it's your call.

94
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:12,695
You can just look across the net and say,
I appreciate your perspective, but it's my

95
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,440
call, and I'm going to stand by my call.

96
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:17,600
And so you win.

97
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,280
But is there a bigger win?

98
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Is there perhaps a bigger win?

99
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,680
It appears to be such a
big deal to your opponent.

100
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,520
It is affecting their ability to
enjoy that game, enjoy that match.

101
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,560
Perhaps the bigger win is to
let them have the call.

102
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,320
And I'll give you guys a personal story.

103
00:06:41,345 --> 00:06:45,415
And I talked about this a little
differently before in the podcast I talked

104
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,655
about it in terms of like,
just we all do the best we can.

105
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,600
And this was a tournament match
where I saw the ball out.

106
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,720
So I called it out.

107
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,240
Opponent lost his mind.

108
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,615
I just not quite jumping
up and down in the court.

109
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,415
We're pretty close to that.

110
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,600
And he was beside himself with the call.

111
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:13,295
And at that point, I took the,
maybe the smaller went, I'll say, now

112
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,135
that I'm thinking about it this way.

113
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Because it was my right to make the call.

114
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,495
It was a
macho moment or whatever where you'd puff

115
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,055
up the chest and go like, Hey, man, you
can see everyone see it, but it's my call,

116
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:27,975
and it is what it is,
so let's just move on.

117
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,495
And I'm going to call it
the way I saw it, right?

118
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,880
And then just And I don't think there's
anything technically wrong with what I

119
00:07:32,905 --> 00:07:36,295
did, because that's what I saw
and that's my call, et cetera.

120
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:43,560
But could I have maybe gotten a bigger win
there in terms of just the world and

121
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,375
pickleball in general and the
sport and everything else, right?

122
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,320
I think so.

123
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:56,000
I think I could have had a bigger win by
just saying, yeah, it's fine.

124
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:02,160
If you're that strong about it, I'll
Basically, it can see the call.

125
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,695
Is that really that much
damaging to me, right?

126
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,760
I mean, it's like, I don't know if you
watch soccer or not, but I watch soccer.

127
00:08:09,785 --> 00:08:15,120
And one of the things that drives me
insane is most players are trained to

128
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,440
challenge every ruling, everything.

129
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,695
And so it's almost like they never commit
a foul, which is silly because, of

130
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,680
course, they're going to commit fouls.

131
00:08:23,705 --> 00:08:27,575
It's a contact sport,
it's a physical sport.

132
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:35,135
And so it becomes
silly for them to do that, right?

133
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Where the bigger win might be for them to
sometimes go like, Yeah,

134
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,495
that was my mistake, right?
I screwed that up.

135
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,040
No big deal.

136
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,800
Anyway, I digress.

137
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,960
One other area would be the illegal serve,
the quintessential

138
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,400
argument, the illegal serve idea.

139
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,215
I've talked about this before, but I
haven't articulated it this

140
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,280
way in terms of the bigger win.

141
00:08:55,305 --> 00:08:59,135
What I've said in the past is,
leave it be because it's

142
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,975
probably not affecting the game.

143
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,495
Usually, most of the time when you see,
not all the time, but the vast majority of

144
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,240
the time when the player
says, Is that serve illegal?

145
00:09:08,265 --> 00:09:13,680
In rec play, it's not really a big
deal, even if it is technically illegal.

146
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,080
But again, is there a bigger win?

147
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:24,360
Is it a bigger win for you to
allow that serve to just be what it is?

148
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,160
And the nice thing about the bigger win is
that it helps incorporate

149
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:36,855
a bit more empathy into our practice, into
our lives, because you're like in the

150
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:45,055
alcohol situation,
even you're conceding the call to your

151
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,975
opponent in situations where
you can just simply say, well, to them,

152
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,120
it's obviously more
important than it is to me.

153
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,615
And so I'm going to grant them this.

154
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,360
It's like a gift you're handing them.

155
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:03,015
Same thing with the illegal
Sometimes it could be they're just

156
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,375
not comfortable serving any other way.

157
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,655
And so you make them serve the legal way,
they're going to miss their serve and not

158
00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:11,380
want to play because they feel pressure or
maybe their arm bothers them or whatever.

159
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,015
Myriad reasons why a lot of...

160
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,320
Not a lot, but why some players may
serve in a manner that's illegal.

161
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,360
But maybe there's a bigger win there.

162
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,375
So yeah, just something to think about.

163
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,535
And if you have feedback on that, please
let me know in the comments on YouTube.

164
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:26,760
It's the best way to do it.

165
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,015
If you go to YouTube and look at
Pickleball Therapy,

166
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,200
you'll find this episode.

167
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:36,575
And then there you can share
your ideas in the comments.

168
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,135
That would be appreciated.

169
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,080
And maybe we can work on this together
and come up with the concept here.

170
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,375
Which leads me to the RIF.

171
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,815
And it's perfect because
this The Comet allows us to seek the

172
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,440
bigger win or me to seek the bigger win.

173
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,880
So it's the comment is entitled...

174
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,455
The heading of the comment is, it was left
on June ninth, 2025, and I

175
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,640
appreciate leaving the feedback.

176
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,815
Longwinded Nonsense is the name of the
comment or the feedback.

177
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,720
I don't know, again, why it's two stars,
but I guess thank you for giving

178
00:11:08,745 --> 00:11:10,260
me two stars instead of one.

179
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:14,120
This podcast is a long
winded waste of time.

180
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,520
I can't imagine being coached by him
and waiting for him to get to a point.

181
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,520
So a couple of things, right?

182
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,200
It's, one is the idea of
Sondra that I just mentioned.

183
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,975
Obviously, this person is entitled to
navigate the Earth the way

184
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,840
that they want to navigate it.

185
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,455
Frank, I'm always a little bit surprised
that someone would listen to the podcast,

186
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,960
the entire podcast, if they're
not enjoying what they're hearing.

187
00:11:39,985 --> 00:11:41,215
But that's okay.

188
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,940
I appreciate you listening to the podcast.

189
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,775
And the big win and the
small win here, right?

190
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,615
So the big win, the small win would be
for me to take issue with this, right?

191
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,160
I think.

192
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,840
That's what I'm playing with in my
head, with this small win, big win.

193
00:11:57,865 --> 00:12:01,375
So the small win here would mean to
me to go toe to toe with this person.

194
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,175
Actually, the comment I just made probably
is a little bit of a small win idea.

195
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:06,720
I'm just fighting them about it.

196
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,700
I have to share it with
you because it's curious.

197
00:12:10,725 --> 00:12:17,095
So the name of the avatar, the username
here is, I wasted my time 6: 19.

198
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,680
So I don't know if that's a common thing
that happens to this person, and maybe

199
00:12:20,705 --> 00:12:24,360
that's baked into how
they're seeing things.

200
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Things like this that aren't this quick
little fix or a waste of I'm not sure.

201
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:38,320
But when I look at it in terms of bigger
win, I try to think of what this

202
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:47,295
show, what this illustrates to me or
points out to me is how we're as a

203
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:53,255
society, we're moving away from
deep and maybe lengthy sometimes.

204
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:58,000
I'm sure I guarantee that I
speak a little longer than others.

205
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,375
But it's because I'm trying to explore
something or I'm trying to go deeper on

206
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,375
something or explain it at a different
level than a TikTok or

207
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,240
a quick Instagram video.

208
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:12,095
But we live in a world where
everything now is short.

209
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:17,160
Frankly, like our social media
consultants, they're always like,

210
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:18,920
you have 30 seconds.

211
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,720
I think right now, 30 seconds
in total, I should say.

212
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,735
We're down to three seconds to
get attention or four seconds.

213
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,480
I mean, it's like a really
compressed attention span.

214
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:36,960
So when you see this a comment, perhaps
that's just this person is

215
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,295
conditioned this way.

216
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:45,360
And it's unfortunate from my perspective
that the person is looking

217
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,775
for just quick hits.

218
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,215
Frankly, I don't know
how to do it in a mental.

219
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:50,920
If I did, I would.

220
00:13:50,945 --> 00:13:54,255
Listen, I'd be happy to give you a
five second thing on the

221
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,480
mental and everything is fixed.

222
00:13:55,505 --> 00:13:59,240
But that's not my experience anyway, of
how the mental has worked for me,

223
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,855
nor my experience of how it's worked with
other players for whom

224
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:03,720
it's been effective.

225
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,615
It's a process.

226
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,640
You have to think about it.

227
00:14:06,665 --> 00:14:10,895
Sometimes I may say
the same concept three different ways, and

228
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,480
the first two ways don't land, and the
third way it lands, and

229
00:14:13,505 --> 00:14:14,495
now we have progress.

230
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,520
So that's part of this process as well.

231
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,415
Frankly, from my perspective, I will tell
you that I'm at a place

232
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:23,560
right now where when I...

233
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,320
I'm not saying I'm perfect about it.

234
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:32,215
When my initial reaction to these things
is still a little Still small, I guess.

235
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,200
Like, oh, what do you
like about the podcast?

236
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,760
But then as I let it simmer a little bit,
let it sit a little bit, then I

237
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,480
ask myself about the Sonda, right?

238
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,880
And how we're being conditioned
in our attention spans.

239
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,095
And then lastly, I honestly,
I wish that this...

240
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,295
I hope for this player,
I assume it's a player, but I hope for

241
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:04,495
this player that he or she
finds a way to interact with longer form

242
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,120
content in a way that is productive for
them, because I think that there's a lot

243
00:15:08,145 --> 00:15:11,280
of benefit to that in
the long term for them.

244
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,560
It's the same hope that I have for players
looking to improve just

245
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,960
their mechanical skills in the game
or their strategic skills in the game.

246
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,320
Whenever we're looking for those quick
hits and things like that,

247
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,800
that's just not how things work.

248
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,880
And it ends up being counterproductive
most of the time.

249
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,695
And those quick fix things, when you
explore them, oftentimes they're

250
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,440
missing pieces or they're incomplete.

251
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,615
I guess I think missing pieces,
incomplete, or they lack substance in

252
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,520
them, but they seem really
good on the surface.

253
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,535
Anyway, so that's my
thought there on that.

254
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,255
Again, I appreciate them sharing their
feedback about the

255
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:54,840
episodes and the podcast.

256
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,760
But is there a bigger win for me
as a podcast, a content creator?

257
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,120
Yes.

258
00:16:01,145 --> 00:16:05,895
And I think the bigger win here is
to encourage the player, whether it's this

259
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:12,455
voice or another voice, to find long-form
content that can help them

260
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,480
with their mental journey.

261
00:16:13,505 --> 00:16:18,920
Because if they listen to this podcast My
guess is they did so because they're

262
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,935
in need of something in the mental side of
their game, in the mental side

263
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,495
of their development as players.

264
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,040
And if they can find a voice that
resonates with them, that

265
00:16:28,065 --> 00:16:30,520
helps them, I'm all for that.

266
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,215
All right, so let's keep working
on this concept of bigger wins.

267
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,520
Think about it when
you're out there, right?

268
00:16:36,545 --> 00:16:40,375
Maybe you'll come up with something as you
engage with the sport, as you

269
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:41,520
interact with other players.

270
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,375
See if you can find moments to have that
bigger win a dispute over a paddle

271
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,095
placement,
a player who doesn't want to play in a

272
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,175
certain formation on the court, whatever.

273
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,295
The things that are normal that happen in
daily pick-up all life that

274
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,840
are less than agreeable for us.

275
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,600
See if you can find an area where you can
look for the bigger win, look for the

276
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:10,775
bigger picture thing that you can do that
is better for the situation than simply

277
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:17,080
winning the small victory, which is the
game or the argument or the whatever, see

278
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,800
if there's a way to pivot that towards
a bigger win and then share it with us.

279
00:17:19,825 --> 00:17:23,055
And again, the best way to do that would
be in a comment to the YouTube

280
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,760
video that accompanies this podcast.

281
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,375
And as always, if you have a moment to
rate and review the podcast,

282
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:31,600
really appreciate you doing that.

283
00:17:31,625 --> 00:17:36,495
And lastly, please share the podcast with
your friends because if you enjoyed the

284
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,680
podcast and if it helped you along your
mental journey, it will probably

285
00:17:39,705 --> 00:17:41,200
help your friend as well.

286
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,280
I'll be at the MLP this week, so if
you're up there, please say hello.

287
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:50,935
Next week, probably going to do an archive
episode because I will be

288
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:54,055
out of town with family.

289
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,135
Got a family summer trip planned
with the grandkids and everybody.

290
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:02,640
So next week will be an archive
episode going into the vault.

291
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,620
And then the week after that, we'll
be back into our regular programming.

292
00:18:05,645 --> 00:18:08,695
I hope you have a great week and I'll see
you on the next episode

293
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,400
of The Pickleball Therapy.
Be well.
