Happy 2025! Let's think about our progress journey through pickleball as worth experiencing and enjoying to see the game better. Because here's the fact, there's really nowhere to arrive at and there's no magic place to get to.Embrace the infinity of your journey and try and avoid pestering yourself with the, 'Are we there yet?' question.Take a minute to imagine yourself as the player you want to be in the future. It could be a six months from now player, six years from now, however long you want to do it, and however much you want to add to yourself as a player. Picture that player for a moment. What does that player look like?Placing yourself in the future you and who you want to be or grow helps us avoid being dissatisfied with where we are now because we want something more in the future. You are in charge of how much you want to grow as a pickleball player and the game will always have something to teach you. Now to the soft game- it's valuable and useful as a tool when you're playing. Consider adding it into your game or working on it more. It's the central feature of our game and continues to be the most reductive form of our game. Check out our upcoming live events; https://betterpickleball.com/events/ Get you paddles from Pickleball Central.
