Tanner Big Canoe - The mental game continued

Two years ago in our first season we spoke to Olivia Apps about the importance of mental conditioning in her game of Rugby. And just to recap - this mental conditioning contributed to a silver medal at the Paris Olympics this past summer with Olivia leading the team from an underdog - 9th place to silver. So it can happen.  Today we have another athlete with us, Tanner Big Canoe - who plays serious golf, has been in pro tournaments, instructor but importantly to us, is a new pickleball players and 12 months in, is a solid 5.0+ pickleball player. I thought it would be fun to have Tanner talk to us about the mental elements for fold and for pickleball and their similarities.  Thank you for listening to How you play the game.

The Mind of a Referee - Joan Pollard

Today’s podcast is with our friend, Joan Pollard. We know her as a friend and amazing pickleball player but also when you get into a medal round, it might be Joan that is the referee. Joan travels far and wide to referee games and she’s well respected in that community and the pickleball community in general.  Today’s topic is - obviously Joan is a referee - but what is the mind of a referee? What kind of person makes a good one?  Someone who is organized, maybe a take charge personality, ability to be non emotional at game times? Listen to this podcast to find out.  Thank you for listening to How you play the game. Send us your questions and any topics you would like us to talk about.
