  • Playing with Fire: Managing Anger in the Middle of a Match

    Playing with Fire: Managing Anger in the Middle of a Match
    2025/06/20
    Anger happens.

    You shank an easy shot. Your partner misses a sitter. The wind grabs your serve. Or your opponent celebrates just a little too hard after a net cord winner.Before you know it, you're gripping your paddle tighter, your vision narrows, and your body tenses up.

    Anger is in the system.But here’s the deal: anger isn’t the problem. What you do with it is.At Mental Pickleball, I coach players not to suppress anger, but to channel it — without letting it hijack their decision-making.Here’s how:
    1. Name it — Fast
      Notice it early. The sooner you recognize you’re getting ticked, the more options you have. Say in your head: “Okay, I’m getting hot. Time to reset.”

    2. Breathe Into the Heat
      Anger is energy. Use your breath to move it through you, not let it bottle up. Inhale slow, exhale slower. Let your jaw and shoulders relax with that breath.

    3. Redirect, Don’t React
      Use anger as fuel for focus, not for forced winners. A great mental phrase here:
      “Tight game. Loose body.”
      Let your body stay soft even if your heart is pounding.

    4. Laugh at the Drama
      Seriously. If you catch yourself in full meltdown mode, smirk. That moment of humor is powerful — it creates distance and resets perspective.

    Your challenge today:
    In your next match, when frustration starts building, don’t bury it. Name it, breathe into it, and choose how you respond. See if you can turn the fire into focus — not frustration.

    Because playing with fire doesn’t have to burn you.
    It can sharpen you.

  • The First Five Points Matter More Than You Think

    The First Five Points Matter More Than You Think
    2025/06/16
    You’ve probably heard the phrase “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.” But in pickleball, how you start can shape the whole match. At Mental Pickleball, I like to say: the first five points set the tone, the tempo, and your team’s trust.

    And not just on the scoreboard — in your head. Those opening rallies are when your body’s still calibrating, your nerves are still active, and your partner’s energy is syncing with yours. It's a window of time when you're not just playing — you're establishing. Your focus. Your rhythm. Your identity. And if you’re not mentally intentional in those first five points, you might dig a hole that your paddle alone can’t get you out of. Here’s what I coach my players to do during those critical early moments:
    1. Start Small and Stable
      Don’t try to impress. Don’t overreach. Focus on one simple goal — hit high-percentage shots, keep the ball in play, and breathe.
    2. Communicate with Intention
      Even just a quick “Nice shot” or “I got middle” early on builds cohesion. Doubles chemistry doesn’t need to be flashy — just present.
    3. Anchor in Mental Cues
      Have a pre-selected thought for early-game nerves. Something like:
      “Play solid.”
      “Settle in.”
      “One point at a time.”
      This quiets the internal noise and narrows your focus.
    Your challenge today:
    Track your first five points — not by score, but by mindset. Did you stay calm? Did you communicate? Did you play within yourself?

    Because when you win those five mentally, you set yourself up to win the rest more freely.

  • When Nothing’s Working: How to Stay in the Game

    When Nothing’s Working: How to Stay in the Game
    2025/05/16
    Some days, it all clicks — smooth dinks, solid serves, clean resets.
    Other days… nothing lands. You’re in your head, off your rhythm, and three steps behind every ball. What do you do when nothing is working? Here’s the first truth: You don’t need to play your best to win mentally. At Mental Pickleball, I teach my players that tough matches — the ugly, frustrating, off-the-rails ones — are gold mines for mental growth. Here’s your mindset reset for days like that:
    1. Shrink the Target
      Stop trying to fix everything. Pick one simple goal: keep the ball in play, get your feet set, or calm your breath. Anchor to one thing you can control.
    2. Detach from Perfection
      It’s okay to play bad pickleball. It’s not okay to beat yourself up while doing it. You’re not auditioning — you’re training.
    3. Reframe the Win
      Even if you lose the game, you can still win the moment. You can still win your attitude. You can still choose focus over frustration.
    Your challenge today:
    Next time everything feels off, don’t spiral. Simplify. Shrink your focus. Stay in the match. Winning ugly is still winning — especially in the mental game. And here’s the quiet truth:
    Sometimes, the most important victories come on the days when your game doesn’t show up — but your grit does.
