27. Mental Strength & Game Strategy in Pickleball Tournament Play (Part One)

In this episode Paddy talks through his experience of how (for some crazy reason) he managed to win an English National Singles Championships title (3.0,  65+). He talks through his preparation, his game strategy and his mental strength (basically how he kept his sh*t together!).  He talks through the six games he had to play in the round-robin to get to the semi-finals - what he did right and what he did wrong. Why and how he changed his tactics mid-game sometimes, what he did between points and how he kept motivated. Paddy never says that everyone has to do what he does - he just shares his highs and lows, his tactics and decisions - in case the listener may be able to take away a few good pointers. He hopes that he doesn't come across as 'braggy' - just someone sharing their story. He ends by summarising his strategies and tactics, which he hopes may be helpful for others. In Part Two he continues this story into the semi-finals and final. Hear how he VERY nearly went home early (how he got lucky), but somehow hung on and managed to get that gold medal!
