MYTHS ABOUT PICKLEBALL

Myth 1: You do NOT need to be ‘talented’. Talent is undependable, fair-weather friend that has a nasty habit of deserting you when you need ‘talent’ the most. Big Point Pickleball™ redefines ‘talent’ as a skill that can be relied upon to deliver at critical moments under pressure. This skill can be automated and then it ceases to be a skill. It is now who you are…a BIG POINT PICKLEBALL™ PLAYER. We learn from the elite of the military who train the basics so they are executed meticulously under pressure.

Myth 2: You learn most from your losses. Nonsense. You just learn how to lose. This myth is put about by serial losers. You learn the most from your narrow wins.

Myth 3: Winners are born not made. Nonsense. At your level, your peer group, provided you have the motivation and desire then Big Point Pickleball™ brings everything you require so that you can be trained to be a Big Point Pickleball Player™ .

Myth 4: You can’t shortcut experience. Nonsense. If you don’t know what pressure is and never train under simulated pressure conditions then the only time you experience pressure-based emotions is in a match. That’s why this myth of ‘experience’ and that you need the agony of narrowly losing matches over many years is promoted as the truth! Instead, experience simulated pressure in every practice session. Get to know pressure as your friend. Train automated process. Train SELF. Bring this onto the court. Get quick ‘W’s after your name.

Myth 5: You need to be ‘mentally tough’. After all- if ‘pressure’ was your friend, not your enemy, showing up at the 11th hour in your time of need, you would welcome pressure and just need to be mentally smart to harness this winning force.
