Rehearse chaos to perform better in pressure

Hey!

Ever notice how the moments that matter most in pickleball are the ones where your brain wants to take over?

9-9 in game three. Crowd’s loud. Hands battle at the net. Your mind is screaming:

“Don’t mess this up.”
“Fix the footwork.”
“Was that the right shot?”

But here’s the truth: thinking mid-point is the fastest way to jam yourself.

The elite performers—the ones who shine when the pressure spikes—don’t think in those moments. They trust.

They trust their training.
They trust their reps.
They trust that all the work they’ve put in will carry them when the spotlight is on.

That’s exactly what I break down in one of my favorite videos from the 21-Day Mindset Reset Challenge. In it, I give an example of how the Blue Angels, an elite team of fighter pilots, rehearse chaos so thoroughly that when it’s time to perform at 600 mph, their bodies already know what to do.
