​Hey Reader,​

Ever notice how some days everything clicks…
and other days it feels like you’re guessing?

That came up again and again in the World Pickleball Summit:

Your results aren’t random - they’re predictable.

Not because you’re inconsistent, but because pickleball quietly rewards certain habits and punishes others.

Across conversations with top experts, a few truths kept coming up:

• Positioning beats power
• Decisions matter more than shot-making
• Points are often lost before the mistake you remember

Most players focus on the missed shot.

Better players pay attention to what led them there.

So here’s a simple challenge for your next time on the court:

For one full game, don’t try to “win” points.
Try to avoid giving them away.

That means:

• Reset instead of forcing attacks
• Hold position instead of drifting
• Choose margin over flash

You may be surprised how quickly rallies start tipping in your favor.

After the game, ask yourself just one question:

“Where did I get impatient?”

That awareness alone, without changing your technique, can change your results.

This is exactly the kind of insight that kept showing up throughout the World Pickleball Summit:
​small, intentional decisions that add up to better outcomes.

Play smarter today,

P.S. Consistency isn’t about being perfect. It’s about making the same good decisions more often than the bad ones. And reply back if you want to get access to the Summit recordings.
