Love that Pickleball mimics life...always an opportunity to RESET

It appears that this short yet sweet phrase sums up how you look at life. I love it! @PickleballPhil wrote a great post called Embrace the suck! where he talked about how we look at the challenges in front of us. I love the mind-shift message of positivity, growth, and progress, that you and @Dayne evangelize!

Isn’t it crazy how such a simple game could have such a profound effect on someone… that they would go to such great lengths to spread the word and help as many other people to experience the same.

I used to LOVE playing ultimate frisbee… one of my favorite games. I loved bowling. I loved racquetball. I hated running… but I ran a couple of marathons, Spartans, and a bunch of half-marathons… just to fill the need for physical fitness.

Now… I play pickleball. That’s it.

Not that I don’t love those other sports… it’s just my sense of satisfaction is so much greater when I play pickleball that I just don’t have a desire to make time for any other sport/game. My progress is more swift and recognizable. My resting heart rate is now that of a fine-tuned athlete!

With pickleball, it’s almost like you have an opportunity to RESET (as you noted) constantly.

If you made a mistake the last point… RESET.
In the middle of each point, after you hit the ball… RESET.
You lost the game… RESET.
You lost the match… RESET.

If we could learn to live life with that same pickleball attitude, we’d all be a lot better off.

Thank goodness for Mondays… a chance to RESET for the coming week and make this the best week of our lives!

Let’s gooooooo pickleFAM!

PS… @CoachB, maybe you could tell me how in the world I can find the time to READ! :face_with_tongue: I absolutely love the idea of reading, but boy is it a challenge to make the time for it, with everything else on my plate!
