Put the Positivity in Pickleball

Quick Tips Pickle4 Team 09-05-2024

Have you ever had a partner who gets angry or belittles you after you make a mistake? Maybe this partner even rolls his or her eyes, or is overly critical and coaches you on every shot to the point that you feel nervous and out of your element? Even when you win with this partner, you probably are not having any fun, which is what pickleball is all about. Plus, you are not able to play your best because you are caught up in what your partner is telling you or worried about what your partner will say to you next. 

Positivity Breeds Positivity. Pickleball is more commonly played as a doubles game, rather than as a singles game. As a result, not only do you need to play confidently and play your best pickleball, but your partner does too—at least if you want to be successful. A good partner helps you, motivates you, and remains positive. Positivity is infectious. Positivity breeds positivity, and positivity is essential if you want your partner to have fun, play confidently, and play their best pickleball.
