Pickleball Game Plan
Competing · Skill 4 of 6

Mental Stability

A tight grip and shallow breathing after a mistake turn soft dinks into pop-ups, so a fast reset between points protects your touch.

Think about this while you play

  • Flush the last point before the score is called.
  • One slow exhale; loosen your grip.
  • Talk to yourself the way you'd talk to your partner.
