Outsmarting them was the only way I could keep up

{{First Name | Hey! }}

When I played basketball in high school, I was more athletic than most players.

It felt good being the guy who could jump higher and run faster.

Then I got to college and reality punched me in the face. These dudes were absolute monsters. Bigger, faster, stronger than me.

I had two choices: get benched or get smarter.

That’s when I started studying angles, mindset, and strategy. Outthinking and outsmarting them was the only way I could keep up. All the mental game stuff that most players ignore.

It worked. I couldn't out-jump them, but I could out-think them.

I developed a skillset that wasn’t based on athletic ability and it served me well.

Fast forward to playing pickleball, and I knew that if I wanted to catch up quickly, I’d have to do the same thing.

Your backhand matters. But here's what I learned: your brain is your biggest weapon.

I know everyone can’t sprint around the court hitting perfect Ernes.

But everyone can get smarter about the game.

That's exactly what my 21-Day Mindset Reset Challenge is about.

It starts July 7th, and it's for players who know they're capable of more but feel like something's missing.

Maybe you have good shots but make dumb decisions. Maybe you practice tons but don't see results. Maybe you just want to feel confident when you step on the court.

This challenge will change how you think about pickleball. Not just how you play it.

You'll become the player others want to play with (and against). The one who sees shots before they happen.

You might even become the smartest player on your court. (Which feels way better than being the most athletic, trust me.)
