One thing pros do that amateurs forget!

Do you know this type of player?

(Let's call him Mr. Athletic for now).

He’s quick, physical, and skilful but doesn’t know when to dink or drive. Or if he loses the point, he can't calm himself down mentally? His technique and physique is pro-level. But his mentality and decision-making is amateur.

Now compare this to Pro Pickleball Playeer Scott Moore. He was not the flashiest or most skillful. Opponents would call Scott "Sure Shot." But he hardly ever made mistakes.

His precision and shot placement were impeccable. His mentality was extremely strong. And his decision-making meant he regularly won tournaments as a pickleball player. Now just imagine if Mr. Athletic had Mr. Moore's mentality and decision-making skills.

And like many future pros, they're taught tactics and mentality from a young age. So if you don't come from a pickleball loving family or a professional racquet sport background, what do you do?
