            SHOW NOTES

            I’ve been enjoying an email training series from the great pickleball pro/coach Steve Dawson. But his comments about the mental game reminded of one of the biggest (and most frustrating) myths about mental game training. Hopefully, you don’t believe this particular myth, but if you do, this will definitely help. :-) Enjoy!

              SHOW NOTES

              My pickleball game has now reached the “skill-development/coaching" phase (versus just playing), and it’s reminding me of how critical it is to take a PRACTICAL approach to training your mental game, versus following what you hear from 99% of the experts out there. This perspective shift will save you a ton of time and frustration … IF you take it to heart. :-) Enjoy!
