Yesterday at pickleball (afternoon and evening sessions) we were very pleased to have Kathy Parkes husband Brian in attendance. Brian is a top ranked 4.5 pickleball player, and plays regularly with great pickleball players. I had the great fortune to play a few games with and against him, and was able to listen to great instruction from this great player. I know a # of other players in attendance also heeded his instruction. He talked of keeping calm during play, even when it seems the cards are against you. A lesson I learned is playing defensively vs. offensively, and knowing when to use both. In Canada it seems we are different pickleball players then down in USA. We tend to be "bashers & smashers" and Brian encouraged us to use the soft game to our advantage for winning matches.
I love Dr. Seuss books, always have, always will, and I saw this quote that kind of sums up Brians instruction. Perfect!
