If you were to build yourself a home, you would probably want it to have: a.  A solid foundation b.  Completed wall and c.  A roof to keep the elements out. You may also want it to have some plumbing and electrical. So … if you were learning how to build your own home, would you not need to learn how to do all of the above? But what about crown molding, and paint selection, and finished carpentry for those awesome accents around the place? While those are nice to have, you first need the solid home onto which you can add these touches. As pickleball players, too many of us spend our time learning the crown molding (extra spins on the ball), pain selection (powerful serves) and finished carpentry (a roll volley or dink). And we do so before we have learned to master the basics; before we know how to build the home itself. What we end up with is a halfway built foundation, 2 knee-high walls and not even the beginning of a roof. And then we wonder why our crown molding or paint selection skills aren’t doing us any good. If you want to learn the neat shots in pickleball, great. But before you spend your time on those shots, spend your time learning how to get the roof securely atop your pickleball home. That is how you will have lasting success and gain tremendous confidence on the courts. Click here to Register for our FREE 3-Part Mini-Series. It will change your game (limited number of tickets).
