  • Mental game

    I thoroughly enjoy the podcast. I have difficulty on the mental side of the game. Tony has talked about how to be a better partner and how to handle adversity on the court in a more beneficial way. I have received formal coaching which has helped me jump up to about a 4.3 player but improving my mental game is what I feel can get me closer to the 4.5 level.

    I have signed up for your clinic in Clifton Park, NY and I look forward to meeting and learning from you.

  • 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.
