The Mental Games of Pickleball: How to Stay Cool When Your Game (and Brain) Is Falling Apart

Pickleball isn’t just about hitting the perfect shot—sometimes, the real game is handling everything that’s happening around you and in your own head.   In this episode, we share what it’s really like to play pickleball when both the outside elements and your own mind are working against you. We talk about surviving the brutal Texas heat, the ways it can zap your energy and throw off your game, and what to do when your mental focus starts to spiral. We’ve all had those days when it feels like the court is out to get you — whether it's slipping grips or first-match jitters.   We reveal some of our go-to mental strategies and tips to reset and maintain focus, including how to “go blank” and the story behind our on-court personas (you won’t want to miss meeting  Lauren’s alter ego). Plus, we discuss the importance of energy management and a team player mindset.   Join us for relatable stories, a few laughs, and actionable advice to keep your cool, improve your game, and make the most of your time on the court. You won’t want to miss this one!   Cheers, Casie & Lauren Let’s keep the conversation going! Connect with us: Instagram: @dinksontap Facebook: @DinksonTap Website: dinksontap.com
