In 2025, the rules change has a little bit of impact on the non-volley zone when the volley starts. Basically the volley included the swing of the paddle before the ball was struck. 

Rules change in pickleball can rob us in different ways leading to unnecessary stress, conflicts on the court or detract us from the enjoyment of the game. 

In this episode we also discuss how to deal with criticism and how we determine, at the first level, whether what's happening is a criticism or constructive feedback. 

Nobody likes criticism, especially criticism without a point. Before you consider something being criticism, be aware of a couple of things; 

i) What we think of something is a result of how we interpret it in our own mind. That's the everything.  

ii) Ask yourself, why is this criticism as opposed to feedback? Why am I looking at it that way? 

iii) Consider the source and the context or the environment in which the feedback is being provided. 

iv) Focus on the positive aspects of feedback that will help if you are feeling criticized about your pickleball or anything else.
