  • This is what I’ve been looking for!

    Thank you so much for this podcast. I recently discovered it and am binging. Today I had a difficult MLP loss and this podcast has been helping me process it. This is all so much bigger than ourselves. I have really enjoyed the guest speakers as well. Even though we had a tough loss, I do remember saying to myself during our tournament, “Pickleball is like ice cream.” Grateful to have the ice cream.

  • Therapy for My Mental Game

    When I started pickleball I quickly discovered my mental game was really beating me. This podcast made an amazing difference! I thought I had it conquered until I played in a tournament. Now I know this is an ongoing battle that I need to regularly work on. I listen to this podcast on the way to the courts and when I’m walking my dog - most every day. Don’t know what I’m going to do when I’ve listened to all the old episodes, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Thanks for continuing to ... more
