Pickleball changes lives: Pickleball Lessons for Life and Business: How to Keep Smashing It

I get a thrill out of smashing balls.

Wait…

Pickleballs, guys. What did you think I meant?

But real talk — pickleball has literally changed my life.

It’s shifted how I show up in both business and in life.

It’s made me kinder — to myself and to others.

It’s reminded me of a simple truth: we can’t control our partner or our opponent. 

We can only control ourselves — how we show up, how we react, and how we bounce back.

That mindset shift? It’s so bloody powerful.

Pickleball has become this perfect metaphor for life:

👉🏼Wins and losses.

👉🏼Highs and lows.

👉🏼Trial and error.

👉🏼Silly mistakes.

👉🏼Big comebacks.

You make a bad decision? Cool. Learn. Pivot. Move forward.

You mess up a point by one millimetre? Tough — but it happens. That tiny miss? It doesn’t define you. It prepares you…

Because, when you really think about it you’re literally just one centimetre, one small move away from your biggest win.

So: laser-focus on your goal. Keep showing up.

And keep smashing it. 💥

If they can do it, you can too.
