Monday Kickoff (Week 7 of 2025)
Last week I ended up getting pretty sick so a lot of my plans got thrown out the window. I was able to recover a bit towards the end of the week which let me play a little, but overall it was a bit of a struggle unfortunately.
📜 Context
- Background: Started playing pickleball in July 2024 and quickly fell down the rabbit hole of gear and wanting to improve. My athletic experience primarily consists of ping pong in the basement with my little brother, messing around on the tennis courts on occasion, but no formal training.
- Current Rating: 3.600 (9% Reliability)
🎯 Goals
- Play a few games at open play
- Figure out some drills to do regardless of court time
🎨 Theme: Slow & Steady
Last week I ended up getting pretty sick so a lot of my plans got thrown out the window. I was able to recover a bit towards the end of the week which let me play a little, but overall it was a bit of a struggle unfortunately. This week is just about picking up the pieces and just making progress regardless of court time.
📋 Tasks
- Drills
- Figure out what drills I can do on my own with my limited space and equipment
- Gameplay
- Footwork: Be in the right position so I can hit my shot properly.
- Mentality: Be like water. Minimize twitchy movements and take your time.
💠Closing Thoughts
One step at a time. That's all progress is. One foot in front of the other.
