In pickleball when you take a beat and "THINK TO DINK" you are making the decision to hit the ball lightly, rather than drive it hard with the hopes of a winner. The dink is a very important part of the pickleball game. It's a way of keeping the point going UNTIL there's a real opportunity to win it. It requires finesse and touch to execute, and the self-control to NOT overhit. When you dink, you demonstrate patience, control, and court awareness. This strategy can be applied to work. Sometimes we need to just keep the ball in play and NOT be looking to disrupt the flow or showcase a winning idea. Sometimes we need to consciously make the decision to keep things moving forward without a major disruption until we see a gap or an opportunity. This doesn't mean you're not capable of great thinking (or shots). Just means you are wise and patient enough to wait for the right time and the right idea.

15 Facts About Pickleball https://lnkd.in/eXhiHG44

Pickleball 101 Series: Video 3, The Kitchen Ever heard of the “kitchen” in pickleball? It’s the 7-foot zone on both sides of the net where you can’t hit the ball in the air (that’s called a volley) if you’re standing in it. Here’s why it matters: No Volleys in the Kitchen: You must stay out of the kitchen when hitting the ball before it bounces! Keeps the Game Fair: This rule stops players from just smashing balls down from the net. Strategy Over Power: It helps keep the game about skill and strategy, not just strength. How to Avoid a Kitchen Violation: Don’t Stand in the Kitchen: When hitting a volley, your feet should be behind the kitchen line. Wait for the Bounce: You can step into the kitchen to hit a ball that has bounced. Next time you play, remember the kitchen rule for a fair and fun game! #Pickleball #KitchenRule #PickleballTips #pickleballlife Have you made your teams yet?

Pickleball is harder than you think 🥒 (And apparently has nothing to do with pickles) This past weekend some friends and I celebrated Alex Ream’s birthday at an event+glamping space just south of Austin. They had this pickleball court and we decided to host a lil tournament. Never having played ever, and my partner never having played ever, let’s just say…. We only made it to the 2nd round of the tournament. ((And we had a 1st round bye 😂😂😂)) I love ping pong and venture to say I’m pretty good. So after being told it was very similar to that, I started to get the hang of the game, only for us to lose 30 seconds later. 7-0-1 something something? Idk haha. - - - 😂 But it got me thinking about when we try new things that are a little difficult. Sometimes we have the tendency to quit and give up on it. ((( Or maybe that’s just me 🤔 ))) Like when I did sales for the first time: Hard —> but got good Like when I worked at a church: Chaotic —> but got good. Like when I started speaking in front of crowds for the first time: Scary —> but got good. Like when I started writing poetry and short stories and posting them on the internet: Nerve-racking —> but got good. So I guess my point it, a lot of time, good is just on the other side of hard. ——> Any skills that you almost gave up on but you eventually got really good at?

While I love playing pickleball (and pretty much any sport), I am not very good at bowling, cornhole, or bocce. For some reason, putting a weight in my dominant arm throws off my "swing" and I am not all that accurate. Because of my love of play and competition, I still participate in these games, even though I am not likely to "win". I say to myself, it's about the play and the socializing - not the victory. Do you still play games you aren't good at? Of course, I think pickleball is that place where you will always find someone to play with and you're guaranteed a good time. #pickleball #teambuilding #competition
