Good Attitudes Only

Quick Tips Stacie Townsend 01-23-2023

The great golfer Payne Stewart once said, “A bad attitude is worse than a bad swing.” This also holds true in doubles pickleball. If you have a bad attitude or bad energy on the pickleball court, that will likely have more of a negative effect on your performance, your partner’s performance, and the overall outcome, as compared to bad shots or mistakes from time to time.

If you or your partner make a bad shot, build yourself and your partner up so you are mentally ready to win the next shot.
