THE INNER GAME OF PICKLEBALL

"Hyper Focusing on the ball can make time stand still . The art of  "Intense Mental Concentration" can decelerate the real time speed of the  incoming ball just enough to allow your brain a millisecond more of imagined time to decide where to place your return shot.

No, its not magic. Not everyone has the ability to "hyper focus" on an object. Like most other things, it takes knowledge of what you need to do, and how to do it.

It has worked for me, improving my shot placement and shot selection performance.

Being a student of the physical and mental aspects game of pickleball, after many hours of research, coaching and self-help practicing on the court, I have developed the following formula for Advanced Play Pickleball:

Stroke Development + Shot Selection + Shot Placement X Practice² = Perfect Touch X  Zone² = PERFECT


I am researching and developing the "mental game of pickleball."   I have found that no matter how good your skills are, if the mind is not in the game by not being in the game, you will not play your best pickleball.
This is the mathematical equivalent of a formula to play at the top level of your game.
Stroke Development + Shot Selection + Shot Placement  x  Practice² = Perfect Touch x Hyper Forcus² = PERFECT PLAY

UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES

     UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES (By Joe Palmere Jr. December 15, 2013)   ARE YOU ‘IN A PICKLE’ OVER YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?  You cannot understand why after a couple years of serious court time, you have not advanced to a higher skill level.  Are you traumatized at game time with any of the following symptoms: feel intimidated by better players; embarrassed by mere thought of another poor performance; feelings of fatigue and a lack of energy; no self-confidence, high expectations to lose near every games; feel like walking of the court in mid-game; wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or worst yet, quit the “fun friendly game” that you once loved.  If So, you are suffering from “unforced error syndrome.” With the ever-increasing numbers of new players in our sport, “unforced  error syndrome”  is reaching near epidemic proportions.

DOUBLES PICKLEBALL LADDER LEAGUE TEMPLATES.

DOUBLES PICKLEBALL TEAM LADDER LEAGUES TEMPLATES The USAPA webpage under Tournaments has software templates for most any kind of tournament imaginable.  USAPA members can obtain the software free, and register their ladder league in the same process. If 4 players can rotate in three game in one two hour period, logically 8 players or 4 teams can do the same.  I have never run a ladder league.  But I can work with templates and add or subtract to accomplish my objective. Recreational/competitive Pickleball is team related. recreational/competitive ladder leagues can and should be team related. By team related you pick your partner before the LL starts and you play with that same partner until the end of the LL.  Scores can be aggregate and represent one team.  Rotation of play will require more scheduling woos but its not rocket science.  The All Ladies Summer LL I was planned back in Summer 2019, was permanent partners, comprising 16 teams
