00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:01,570
Hello and welcome to Pickleball Therapy,

2
00:00:01,710 --> 00:00:04,490
the podcast dedicated to your Pickleball improvement.

3
00:00:05,130 --> 00:00:05,730
I am your host,

4
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:06,370
Tony Roy.

5
00:00:06,570 --> 00:00:09,610
I am a certified Pickleball professional,

6
00:00:09,610 --> 00:00:12,050
as well as a full-time dedicated Pickleball coach.

7
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:13,730
This is what we do.

8
00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:15,410
I'm also the host of your weekly podcast,

9
00:00:15,410 --> 00:00:16,010
Pickleball Therapy,

10
00:00:16,180 --> 00:00:20,410
where we work through different aspects of the mental part of

11
00:00:20,410 --> 00:00:22,610
the Pickleball game to help you not just feel better,

12
00:00:22,630 --> 00:00:24,690
but also play your best Pickleball.

13
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:28,350
This week we're gonna be talking about the wall.

14
00:00:28,820 --> 00:00:33,710
There's a wall that we can sometimes run into when we're

15
00:00:34,170 --> 00:00:35,870
out there trying to improve as Pickleball players.

16
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:37,430
This is an improvement episode.

17
00:00:37,430 --> 00:00:39,550
We're gonna talk about big picture improvement,

18
00:00:39,970 --> 00:00:43,150
but there's a wall that a lot of players spend a

19
00:00:43,150 --> 00:00:45,030
lot of time standing in front of 'em.

20
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:46,230
They're not able to scale that wall.

21
00:00:46,540 --> 00:00:47,590
What I'm gonna talk about this week,

22
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:48,870
I'm gonna talk about the,

23
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:53,670
the, the mindset that you want to bring to your improvement.

24
00:00:53,930 --> 00:00:54,630
If you want to,

25
00:00:54,650 --> 00:00:55,030
in fact,

26
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,110
scale the wall,

27
00:00:56,410 --> 00:00:59,710
get over it and keep going with your play.

28
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:02,470
There's another concept that we use a lot about climbing a

29
00:01:02,590 --> 00:01:04,550
mountain. That's a very appropriate one as well,

30
00:01:04,550 --> 00:01:05,430
and there'll be a future rapid.

31
00:01:05,450 --> 00:01:06,710
So we're talking about mountain climbing.

32
00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:08,630
This one I'll wanna get very specific to,

33
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:09,390
it's a very,

34
00:01:09,580 --> 00:01:10,390
it's a big obstacle.

35
00:01:10,390 --> 00:01:11,710
It's not just a mountain that we're climbing.

36
00:01:11,710 --> 00:01:13,350
This is actually a wall that,

37
00:01:13,620 --> 00:01:17,830
that oftentimes blocks us from being able to continue down our

38
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,790
path. As we dive into the podcast,

39
00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:23,030
I wanna let you know if you're listening to this podcast

40
00:01:23,290 --> 00:01:24,830
at about the time that it gets published,

41
00:01:25,530 --> 00:01:29,230
we are in the middle of our March,

42
00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:31,270
2024 Pickleball system class.

43
00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:34,790
Hopefully you joined us for our Winmore series workshop to introduce

44
00:01:34,790 --> 00:01:37,270
you to some really powerful concepts to help you win more

45
00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:40,070
games, and also introduce you to the Pickleball system,

46
00:01:40,070 --> 00:01:42,510
which is our leading.

47
00:01:42,510 --> 00:01:43,270
It's, is it,

48
00:01:43,270 --> 00:01:44,630
it's this industry leading,

49
00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:46,030
if you want to call it ta,

50
00:01:46,030 --> 00:01:46,230
but it's,

51
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:50,790
it's the best training program of its kind available in Pickleball.

52
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:52,230
You know,

53
00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:52,790
it's just,

54
00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:54,310
it has everything that you need to play.

55
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:54,910
Really awesome,

56
00:01:54,910 --> 00:01:55,790
awesome Pickleball.

57
00:01:55,810 --> 00:01:56,670
So we're in the middle of that.

58
00:01:56,770 --> 00:01:57,110
So if,

59
00:01:57,130 --> 00:01:59,270
if you're ready to take that kind of step in your

60
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,070
Pickleball journey for over the next 12 months with us,

61
00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:03,030
with CJ and me,

62
00:02:03,630 --> 00:02:05,390
check it out at the Pickleball system.com.

63
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:07,310
I'll put a link down in the show notes and you

64
00:02:07,310 --> 00:02:08,510
can join us for our March class.

65
00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:11,430
This is not a course that you can just join anytime.

66
00:02:11,460 --> 00:02:12,950
This is an actual real,

67
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:13,750
it's a real course.

68
00:02:13,820 --> 00:02:15,350
It's led by CJ and by me.

69
00:02:15,530 --> 00:02:16,990
We rolled it out a certain amount of time.

70
00:02:17,010 --> 00:02:18,190
You have live calls with us.

71
00:02:18,890 --> 00:02:21,030
So this is a class and you're making a commitment to

72
00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:24,790
yourself for 12 months to really dedicate to your Pickleball and

73
00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:25,870
see how far you can go with it.

74
00:02:25,890 --> 00:02:26,270
So hopeful.

75
00:02:26,270 --> 00:02:28,350
Hopefully you'll join us inside our March class.

76
00:02:29,380 --> 00:02:32,430
Alright, let's talk about this wall idea.

77
00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:33,630
So, what happened was,

78
00:02:33,630 --> 00:02:33,990
like, I,

79
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:36,950
I received an email from a fellow coach about,

80
00:02:37,970 --> 00:02:38,270
you know,

81
00:02:38,270 --> 00:02:42,110
the, the kind of frustration that we face sometimes with coaches

82
00:02:42,260 --> 00:02:44,110
when we're talking to players who maybe,

83
00:02:44,910 --> 00:02:45,430
maybe they're,

84
00:02:45,430 --> 00:02:47,030
they've been playing for a little bit,

85
00:02:47,290 --> 00:02:47,590
you know,

86
00:02:47,870 --> 00:02:48,270
a year,

87
00:02:48,340 --> 00:02:48,910
year and a half.

88
00:02:48,910 --> 00:02:50,150
That's a little bit of Pickleball terms.

89
00:02:50,930 --> 00:02:51,230
You know,

90
00:02:51,230 --> 00:02:54,190
they, and maybe they've gotten to a three high,

91
00:02:54,210 --> 00:02:55,110
two low three,

92
00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:55,670
even, three,

93
00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:56,190
five level.

94
00:02:56,810 --> 00:02:58,110
And, you know,

95
00:02:58,220 --> 00:02:59,150
it's difficult Sometimes.

96
00:02:59,530 --> 00:03:03,370
'cause when we speak with players who are around there,

97
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,350
they buck us about fundamentals,

98
00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:08,590
right? They buck us about,

99
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:09,470
you know,

100
00:03:10,870 --> 00:03:13,310
anything that's deemed to be too basic for that player.

101
00:03:14,210 --> 00:03:14,750
As coaches,

102
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:19,790
we know that what makes a difference between a player who

103
00:03:19,790 --> 00:03:22,150
goes for in Pickleball and a player who does not,

104
00:03:23,260 --> 00:03:24,270
more often than not,

105
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,910
boils down to the dirty word fundamentals.

106
00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:29,710
And you may have heard me say this before on the

107
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:30,510
podcast, you know,

108
00:03:30,730 --> 00:03:31,230
CJ and I,

109
00:03:31,230 --> 00:03:32,950
we really shy away from that word in,

110
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:34,430
in anything that's outward looking.

111
00:03:34,910 --> 00:03:36,590
Anything that goes out like a a,

112
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:37,950
any kind of marketing,

113
00:03:38,110 --> 00:03:38,550
anything like that.

114
00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:40,230
We don't use the term fundamentals.

115
00:03:40,780 --> 00:03:42,390
It's not because there's something wrong with the term.

116
00:03:42,410 --> 00:03:43,750
The term is a great term,

117
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:44,830
fantastic term.

118
00:03:44,850 --> 00:03:45,910
It makes a lot of sense.

119
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:47,270
Problem is,

120
00:03:47,270 --> 00:03:48,070
when we use that term,

121
00:03:48,070 --> 00:03:50,670
it's a turnoff because a lot of players out there will

122
00:03:50,670 --> 00:03:52,670
simply turn their ears off as soon as they hear that

123
00:03:52,670 --> 00:03:53,830
word of fundamentals.

124
00:03:54,220 --> 00:03:55,310
It's like a bad word,

125
00:03:55,310 --> 00:03:57,030
right? But the,

126
00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:57,550
the, the,

127
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:58,830
the the messed up thing,

128
00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:59,390
right? The iron,

129
00:03:59,490 --> 00:03:59,950
the, the,

130
00:03:59,950 --> 00:04:00,390
just the,

131
00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:04,190
the irony of it is that that's exactly what the players

132
00:04:04,340 --> 00:04:08,230
need in order to scale that wall or break through that

133
00:04:08,230 --> 00:04:09,230
wall. If you wanna be Kool-Aid,

134
00:04:09,510 --> 00:04:10,470
Kool-Aid man about it,

135
00:04:10,470 --> 00:04:11,790
right? Just bust through that wall.

136
00:04:12,900 --> 00:04:13,870
What happens is,

137
00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:14,150
you know,

138
00:04:14,150 --> 00:04:18,470
players are looking for like some kind of a quick fix

139
00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:19,430
or a shortcut.

140
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:21,030
Actually, I'll tell you a funny story.

141
00:04:21,090 --> 00:04:24,070
We just published a video on the same subject on the,

142
00:04:24,070 --> 00:04:24,790
in two pickle channel.

143
00:04:25,020 --> 00:04:26,150
I'll put a link to it down below.

144
00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:27,590
You could check that video out as well if you want

145
00:04:27,590 --> 00:04:28,030
to ask some.

146
00:04:28,570 --> 00:04:29,630
It has me drawing on the board.

147
00:04:29,630 --> 00:04:30,110
So it's pretty,

148
00:04:30,250 --> 00:04:32,230
pretty entertaining I think in terms of the,

149
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:33,790
the drawing and the explanation.

150
00:04:35,210 --> 00:04:35,910
But, you know,

151
00:04:35,910 --> 00:04:38,230
and the video talks about this three oh dash three five

152
00:04:38,260 --> 00:04:38,750
wall and,

153
00:04:38,850 --> 00:04:39,550
and, and,

154
00:04:40,170 --> 00:04:41,110
and you know,

155
00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:41,590
the, the,

156
00:04:42,170 --> 00:04:47,990
the limitations that players who are trying to shortcut or bypass

157
00:04:48,210 --> 00:04:51,150
or just jump over the wall in some silly way,

158
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,710
don't, don't ever get over it.

159
00:04:52,710 --> 00:04:54,030
And how you actually get over it.

160
00:04:54,810 --> 00:04:55,630
And a couple of comments.

161
00:04:55,790 --> 00:04:56,390
I don't know if the,

162
00:04:56,610 --> 00:04:59,150
if the commenters saw the irony in their comment or not,

163
00:04:59,190 --> 00:04:59,590
I don't know.

164
00:05:00,050 --> 00:05:02,230
But some of the comments were basically,

165
00:05:02,750 --> 00:05:03,470
one of 'em was like,

166
00:05:03,490 --> 00:05:04,070
oh my God,

167
00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:05,390
this is taking way too long.

168
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,190
Right? Meaning the video's taking too long.

169
00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:11,000
And I think the irony was lost on the commenter because

170
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:12,720
that's the problem,

171
00:05:12,970 --> 00:05:15,640
right? Like the player,

172
00:05:16,190 --> 00:05:17,120
they want something quick,

173
00:05:17,190 --> 00:05:17,800
they want like,

174
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:18,200
I don't know,

175
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,560
they have like a 75 second time replay to tell them

176
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,200
what's going on.

177
00:05:23,060 --> 00:05:24,120
That's just not how this works.

178
00:05:24,460 --> 00:05:24,760
You know,

179
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:28,480
I don't frankly know anything in life that's worth anything worth

180
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,840
doing that's quick like that,

181
00:05:30,860 --> 00:05:31,160
you know,

182
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:31,800
that's like bam,

183
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:32,160
bam, bam,

184
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,520
I'm done.

185
00:05:32,820 --> 00:05:33,120
You know,

186
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,600
whether it's reading a really good book,

187
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,960
whether it's learning,

188
00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:37,640
you know,

189
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,520
a, a hobby,

190
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,640
whether it's improving as a big ball player,

191
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:41,240
whatever it is,

192
00:05:41,780 --> 00:05:43,280
listen, this takes some time,

193
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:43,840
right? It,

194
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:44,720
it, it takes some,

195
00:05:44,750 --> 00:05:45,280
some time,

196
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:46,320
it takes some dedication,

197
00:05:46,420 --> 00:05:47,160
it takes some work,

198
00:05:47,370 --> 00:05:48,280
takes some patience,

199
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:48,840
right? To,

200
00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:49,560
to be able to,

201
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:50,160
to get here,

202
00:05:50,500 --> 00:05:51,800
to, to get to where we want to go.

203
00:05:53,070 --> 00:05:53,480
What I,

204
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,000
what I'm interested though is in like,

205
00:05:55,110 --> 00:05:58,450
okay, so what happens Is what players are looking for to

206
00:05:58,450 --> 00:05:59,090
scale the wall,

207
00:05:59,090 --> 00:06:03,450
right? Is they're looking for shortcuts,

208
00:06:03,540 --> 00:06:07,410
right? They're looking for quick ways to scale that wall or

209
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:08,130
to get around it,

210
00:06:08,130 --> 00:06:08,970
or under it or whatever.

211
00:06:09,470 --> 00:06:09,890
And so,

212
00:06:10,830 --> 00:06:11,130
you know,

213
00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:15,930
like YouTube videos promise that can't deliver friends at the courts,

214
00:06:15,930 --> 00:06:16,210
you know,

215
00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:17,490
listen, the friends at the courts,

216
00:06:17,490 --> 00:06:17,850
they mean,

217
00:06:17,850 --> 00:06:18,810
well, I know they mean well,

218
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:20,690
they're, they're trying to share with you what they know about

219
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:21,130
the sport.

220
00:06:22,470 --> 00:06:24,210
And there's goodness in their hearts,

221
00:06:24,210 --> 00:06:25,090
right? For the most part.

222
00:06:25,830 --> 00:06:27,410
But they just don't know enough.

223
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:28,970
They don't know enough about the game,

224
00:06:28,970 --> 00:06:30,450
or they don't know enough how to communicate it,

225
00:06:30,450 --> 00:06:31,490
or they don't know how to put it in the right

226
00:06:31,490 --> 00:06:33,050
order, or they don't know how to figure out whether it's

227
00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:33,410
right for you.

228
00:06:34,590 --> 00:06:35,810
And the picture I did in the,

229
00:06:35,810 --> 00:06:36,610
in the YouTube video,

230
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,130
it's, you know,

231
00:06:38,130 --> 00:06:39,970
like a player trying to lift a player over the wall,

232
00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:40,730
give them a hand,

233
00:06:41,750 --> 00:06:42,450
the wall's too,

234
00:06:42,470 --> 00:06:42,930
too high.

235
00:06:43,310 --> 00:06:43,610
You know,

236
00:06:43,610 --> 00:06:45,170
that that tip or that piece of advice,

237
00:06:45,170 --> 00:06:45,850
even if it's right,

238
00:06:46,410 --> 00:06:47,210
even if it's right for you,

239
00:06:47,210 --> 00:06:48,690
it's just not gonna be enough to get over that wall.

240
00:06:49,510 --> 00:06:53,130
And then there's not like a catapult or trampoline or something

241
00:06:53,210 --> 00:06:54,290
like that that's available to you.

242
00:06:54,870 --> 00:06:57,850
The bottom line is that to make significant improvement as a

243
00:06:57,850 --> 00:06:58,370
Pickleball player,

244
00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:59,250
meaningful stuff,

245
00:06:59,250 --> 00:06:59,890
like, like,

246
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:00,450
you know,

247
00:07:00,450 --> 00:07:03,890
like where you really start understanding Pickleball in a different way

248
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,650
than just,

249
00:07:05,070 --> 00:07:05,370
you know,

250
00:07:05,370 --> 00:07:06,290
you heard somebody say,

251
00:07:06,350 --> 00:07:07,570
oh, I should hit the ball over here.

252
00:07:07,630 --> 00:07:08,130
And I,

253
00:07:08,450 --> 00:07:09,090
I don't know why I do that,

254
00:07:09,090 --> 00:07:09,770
but, you know,

255
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:10,770
so-and-so said that,

256
00:07:10,770 --> 00:07:11,850
so I'll start doing that.

257
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:13,410
Where you start,

258
00:07:13,550 --> 00:07:14,650
you're the one going,

259
00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:15,210
you know what,

260
00:07:16,350 --> 00:07:17,410
I'm gonna try hit the ball over here.

261
00:07:17,610 --> 00:07:17,810
'cause I,

262
00:07:17,810 --> 00:07:18,610
here's the reason why.

263
00:07:18,630 --> 00:07:20,490
And you understand the how to get there,

264
00:07:20,490 --> 00:07:22,170
right? You under have a process for getting there.

265
00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:24,490
You understand the framework and objectives of the game so you

266
00:07:24,490 --> 00:07:27,450
can build a game that makes sense given your skillset.

267
00:07:28,030 --> 00:07:29,290
That's just a beautiful filling.

268
00:07:29,290 --> 00:07:29,650
When you,

269
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,210
when you have that kind of,

270
00:07:32,070 --> 00:07:32,370
you know,

271
00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:34,250
CJ likes to say that,

272
00:07:34,250 --> 00:07:34,530
you know,

273
00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:36,130
we know Pickleball in our bones,

274
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:37,770
right? We've learned it in our bones.

275
00:07:37,950 --> 00:07:40,090
And that's something that's achievable for you.

276
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:40,610
You know,

277
00:07:40,670 --> 00:07:41,290
you can do that.

278
00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:43,290
But to get there,

279
00:07:43,290 --> 00:07:44,290
there's no shortcuts.

280
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:44,930
You know,

281
00:07:44,930 --> 00:07:45,450
there's no,

282
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:49,010
like, there's no quick fix,

283
00:07:49,370 --> 00:07:51,930
shortcut, magic pill that you can take to get there.

284
00:07:52,590 --> 00:07:53,410
Now that said,

285
00:07:54,060 --> 00:07:56,650
there is a shorter path and there's a longer path,

286
00:07:56,860 --> 00:08:00,370
right? The Pickleball system that I mentioned earlier,

287
00:08:00,630 --> 00:08:01,490
that's a short,

288
00:08:01,490 --> 00:08:02,290
shorter path,

289
00:08:02,290 --> 00:08:03,690
right? That's very clear.

290
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,930
It's a straight line to get you where you want to

291
00:08:05,930 --> 00:08:06,890
go in terms of the path,

292
00:08:06,890 --> 00:08:09,330
right? It'll take you a little bit longer in certain steps

293
00:08:09,330 --> 00:08:09,930
and things like that.

294
00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:10,490
That's natural.

295
00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:13,170
But the path is laid out there to get you from

296
00:08:13,380 --> 00:08:17,170
where you are now to where to where you can go

297
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:18,890
is pretty straightforward.

298
00:08:19,710 --> 00:08:20,010
You know,

299
00:08:20,030 --> 00:08:21,090
you can go the long route.

300
00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:22,050
The long route is,

301
00:08:22,190 --> 00:08:22,490
you know,

302
00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:23,770
I'm just gonna figure it out by myself,

303
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:24,450
you know,

304
00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:26,650
and that's nothing technically wrong with that.

305
00:08:26,650 --> 00:08:27,210
That's your choice.

306
00:08:27,210 --> 00:08:27,490
You know,

307
00:08:27,490 --> 00:08:28,570
whether you wanna do that or not.

308
00:08:29,630 --> 00:08:30,610
Now, I will tell you this,

309
00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:33,130
the long route sometimes works,

310
00:08:33,130 --> 00:08:36,170
sometimes it doesn't work because sometimes along the long route we

311
00:08:36,170 --> 00:08:37,490
end up taking branches,

312
00:08:37,510 --> 00:08:37,810
you know,

313
00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:41,050
forks down the road that lead us nowhere and we have

314
00:08:41,050 --> 00:08:43,890
to backtrack and then get back on the correct route again.

315
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:44,770
It's kinda like,

316
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:45,170
you know,

317
00:08:45,190 --> 00:08:47,050
the way we're using during the workshop,

318
00:08:47,050 --> 00:08:49,970
what we're using to explain the system is like a map.

319
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:51,170
Okay? So,

320
00:08:51,510 --> 00:08:51,930
you know,

321
00:08:51,930 --> 00:08:52,890
you want to go somewhere,

322
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:53,610
right? You know,

323
00:08:53,610 --> 00:08:54,690
you want to go to Omaha,

324
00:08:54,810 --> 00:08:55,890
Nebraska, I want to get to Alba,

325
00:08:56,090 --> 00:08:57,010
Nebraska in my car.

326
00:08:58,290 --> 00:08:58,930
I could just start,

327
00:08:59,050 --> 00:09:01,330
I kind of know where Nebraska is relative to Florida,

328
00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:01,850
where I live.

329
00:09:02,230 --> 00:09:04,490
So I could just start driving west and north and west

330
00:09:04,490 --> 00:09:06,450
and north and west and north and west and north,

331
00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:08,890
and maybe I should shoot over it or shoot past it,

332
00:09:08,890 --> 00:09:10,050
right? And then maybe I go,

333
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,410
okay, I made it to California.

334
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,850
Okay, that's too far.

335
00:09:13,350 --> 00:09:14,490
Now I know I have to go east.

336
00:09:14,790 --> 00:09:16,330
So I go east and maybe I made it,

337
00:09:16,330 --> 00:09:16,570
you know,

338
00:09:16,700 --> 00:09:17,930
maybe I make it to like,

339
00:09:18,890 --> 00:09:19,290
I don't know,

340
00:09:19,810 --> 00:09:20,650
Chicago. And I go,

341
00:09:20,650 --> 00:09:22,450
Ooh, I think that's farther east than I need to go.

342
00:09:22,750 --> 00:09:24,530
And then I turn around again and then I make it

343
00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:24,810
to Canada.

344
00:09:24,910 --> 00:09:25,890
Oh, that's too far north,

345
00:09:25,890 --> 00:09:26,130
you know?

346
00:09:26,130 --> 00:09:28,410
So I keep driving around and eventually there I am,

347
00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:28,810
I'm oh,

348
00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:29,290
Maha, Nebraska,

349
00:09:29,810 --> 00:09:30,770
excellent. Or,

350
00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:32,210
you know,

351
00:09:32,490 --> 00:09:33,410
I can use a map,

352
00:09:33,540 --> 00:09:35,330
right? I can use a GPS to get there.

353
00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:38,250
And that's essentially what the Pickleball system is.

354
00:09:38,250 --> 00:09:40,210
The Pickleball system is a GPS.

355
00:09:40,210 --> 00:09:42,730
It's a map that'll tell you how to go from where

356
00:09:42,730 --> 00:09:45,160
you are now to get to Omaha,

357
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,360
Nebraska, to get to your goal as a Pickleball player,

358
00:09:48,190 --> 00:09:49,800
without you having to guess that,

359
00:09:49,900 --> 00:09:50,240
you know,

360
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:52,680
okay, I think it's might be east of where I'm right

361
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:53,600
now, but I'm not really sure.

362
00:09:53,740 --> 00:09:54,080
You know,

363
00:09:54,220 --> 00:09:55,760
you don't have to guess of the Pickleball system.

364
00:09:56,180 --> 00:09:56,920
And it also,

365
00:09:57,740 --> 00:09:58,320
it, it,

366
00:09:58,580 --> 00:09:59,600
it meets you where you are.

367
00:09:59,620 --> 00:10:00,720
So if you're leaving from Boston,

368
00:10:01,180 --> 00:10:02,440
if you're leaving from Florida,

369
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:02,880
I am,

370
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:03,960
if you're leaving from Texas,

371
00:10:04,090 --> 00:10:05,640
California, Arizona,

372
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:06,800
Oregon, doesn't matter.

373
00:10:07,170 --> 00:10:09,040
It'll take you to Omaha,

374
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,200
Nebraska to where you want to go.

375
00:10:10,620 --> 00:10:11,520
So, you know,

376
00:10:11,730 --> 00:10:16,720
understand that for you to have meaningful advancement in your play

377
00:10:17,180 --> 00:10:18,760
and for you to overcome that wall,

378
00:10:18,870 --> 00:10:21,560
that that will definitely,

379
00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:25,120
it, it affects every player out there.

380
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:27,000
We face that wall to scale that wall.

381
00:10:27,410 --> 00:10:28,520
There is no shortcut,

382
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:29,800
there's no catapult waiting for you,

383
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,800
no trampoline waiting for you.

384
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,920
You're gonna have to put in some work.

385
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:33,760
And from our perspective,

386
00:10:33,820 --> 00:10:35,920
the best way to climb the wall is one step at

387
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:36,080
a time.

388
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,240
You get on that ladder and you,

389
00:10:37,300 --> 00:10:38,320
you, you put your,

390
00:10:38,500 --> 00:10:41,560
you plant your foot on step one until it's firmly embedded

391
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:42,120
on step one.

392
00:10:42,590 --> 00:10:44,320
Once you're nice and secure on step one,

393
00:10:44,380 --> 00:10:46,200
you take your other foot and bam,

394
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,320
you put it up on step two,

395
00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:48,920
get that nice and embedded,

396
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:49,560
get your balance,

397
00:10:49,620 --> 00:10:51,760
and then you go up to step three and you keep

398
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,240
going. Next thing you know,

399
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:54,840
you're looking up over the wall,

400
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:55,760
you crested the wall,

401
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480
you're standing on top of it going awesome.

402
00:10:57,700 --> 00:10:59,400
Now you can keep going on the other side of the

403
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,160
wall. So,

404
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,560
wanted to talk to you about improvement.

405
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:02,920
Wanted to talk to you about the wall.

406
00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:05,360
Why don't you to understand that if you're feeling frustrated,

407
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:06,000
you're feeling stuck,

408
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:07,840
you can in fact get over the wall.

409
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:09,440
Again, your choice,

410
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,880
whether you want to take a short course or a long

411
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:13,720
course, whether you want to drive around all over the country,

412
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:14,880
till you land on Omaha,

413
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,560
or whether you wanna have a map to get to Oma,

414
00:11:17,660 --> 00:11:18,400
that's up to you.

415
00:11:18,620 --> 00:11:21,080
But we have a map and we're happy to have you

416
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:23,800
join us inside our course too.

417
00:11:23,820 --> 00:11:25,800
So you can have access to the map as well.

418
00:11:26,780 --> 00:11:30,080
If you are listening to this anytime near its publication.

419
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,960
Again, our class is opening right now.

420
00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:33,000
You can come in,

421
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:33,800
learn more about it,

422
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
and then make a decision whether it's right for you.

423
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:38,160
If you're listening to us at a different time,

424
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,840
make sure you're on our email list 'cause we'll let you

425
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,200
know when our next class opens towards the fall of this

426
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,600
year. It's always spring and fall,

427
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:46,960
a fair for us on these classes.

428
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,200
And then you're in it for one year really working on

429
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,120
your game and really gaining improvement in your Pickleball.

430
00:11:53,610 --> 00:11:54,770
I hope you enjoyed this week's podcast.

431
00:11:55,130 --> 00:11:57,610
I wish you well along your improving journey no matter what

432
00:11:57,610 --> 00:11:58,250
you decide to do.

433
00:11:59,030 --> 00:11:59,610
And as always,

434
00:11:59,610 --> 00:12:02,610
if you have a friend who's thinking about improving,

435
00:12:02,620 --> 00:12:03,410
wants to improve,

436
00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:04,210
you know that they're,

437
00:12:04,210 --> 00:12:05,090
they love this game,

438
00:12:05,190 --> 00:12:07,210
but don't know exactly how to get to Almont Nebraska.

439
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:09,730
Share this information with 'em,

440
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:13,170
and perhaps it's their time to pull out the map and

441
00:12:13,170 --> 00:12:16,170
stop driving all over the country trying to find Omaha,

442
00:12:16,450 --> 00:12:20,450
Nebraska. I hope we've been able to,

443
00:12:21,010 --> 00:12:22,610
I hope you've been able to join us inside the workshop

444
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:25,050
and learn some more about how to win more no matter

445
00:12:25,050 --> 00:12:25,810
what your decision is.

446
00:12:26,110 --> 00:12:26,730
And as always,

447
00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:27,770
you know,

448
00:12:27,900 --> 00:12:31,090
happy to be a part of your journey as your podcast

449
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,210
host at Pickleball Therapy.

450
00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:35,930
We'll continue to bring you quality content like this to help

451
00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:41,250
you achieve your Pickleball objectives and hopefully give you a little

452
00:12:41,250 --> 00:12:42,890
bit more peace of mind,

453
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,090
both in Pickleball as well as outside of Pickleball as we

454
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:48,650
continue to grow as human beings.

455
00:12:48,690 --> 00:12:49,970
Because Pickleball is super,

456
00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:50,690
super important,

457
00:12:51,110 --> 00:12:53,970
but Pickleball is a part of a much bigger picture that

458
00:12:53,990 --> 00:12:57,450
is us as human beings and our growth as persons.

459
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,090
Have a great week and I hope to see you,

460
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,770
some of you I'll see inside the Pickleball system class for

461
00:13:02,770 --> 00:13:03,850
March of 20,

462
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:04,930
24 or the rest.

463
00:13:04,930 --> 00:13:07,610
I will see you and next week's podcast.

464
00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:08,010
Have a great week.
