Sometimes we'll play in situations in open plays where there's really no gathering of levels. So it's basically a free-for-all. 

How do you keep the game fun? How do you keep playing productively with players who you've known for a long time when you, or they, get to different levels of the game? 

This is a common question or situation we encounter and that's what we're going to be talking about in this new format of a Walk and Talk episode.

i) Work on your game and when you're playing outside level, work on the social part too.

ii) Work on the nontechnical parts; your gratitude and parts of your game that make you feel a little bit more stressed about the results of a particular game. 

iii) Understand that pickleball has no end line, there are lots of positives that you can gain from it.  Regardless of the level of play, as long as you choose to be a part of this sport, pickleball will have something to teach you, it never runs out, and you can never exhaust it.
