Dinks On Tap: The Happy Hour Pickleball Podcast

Big Names, Bigger Brains: The Caitlin Clark Effect and Game Psychology with Dr. Joy Macci: What You Need For Your Pickleball Mindset Training


Listen Later

What would happen if pickleball got a Caitlin Clark–level shake-up, a blast of PR glitter, and just enough paddle-side gossip to keep the courts buzzing all weekend? That is exactly what we are serving today!

First up, our resident pickleball provocateur, Andrew Kole, spills why the sport still hasn’t found its breakout star and what it could steal from the sports marketing playbook of the WNBA. We’re talking player branding that goes way beyond logos on paddles, plus the coaching strategies that could make the pickleball community as binge-worthy as your favorite competitive sports.

Then, Dr. Joy Macci takes the mic for a masterclass in mental toughness, mindset training, and game psychology. She’s worked with elite athletes at the top of their game and she’s dropping pickleball tips that go way past the dink. Think paddle positioning secrets, shot selection tweaks, and micro-adjustments that create major performance improvement.

We get into:

  • Why sports confidence starts long before your first serve
  • How a positive mindset can flip a bad point into a teaching moment
  • The surprising pickleball strategy change that can instantly upgrade your pickleball skills
  • Why skill development is a forever thing, not just for newbies
  • How athletic performance could soar with better storytelling and sports growth that actually sticks

  • It’s got spice, it’s got receipts, and it’s packed with takeaways whether you’re medal-chasing, brand-building, or just here for the mental edge.

    Grab your marg (or martini), park it courtside, and let’s serve up the kind of real talk this game’s been begging for.

    Cheers,

    Casie & Lauren
