Factor A is the only Factor you control

Pickleball Therapy

On a pickleball court, there are four factors that affect the outcome of the game; us, our partner, and our two opponents.

We'll use an analogy where factor A is going to be us, factor B is going to be our partner then factor C and D are our opponents-the two players across the net.

The input in a pickleball game is going to be the game, the rules, the ball, the wind conditions, the court size which is standard and all the things that are happening to play a pickleball game or affecting the court conditions. Those are inputs while the output here is win the game or lose the game.

Of the four factors, the only thing you can control is you and your play; how you did relative to you or what you're able to do, relative to your baseline, and relative to what you can bring that day to the court, nothing else.

This means I can't look at the results of the game to determine how I played so play pickleball as a contest of you against you. To test yourself against yourself.

The best way to think about competition in this game is to view it in terms of our journey as pickleball players. Look at your play and determine whether your play is improving or not improving during a session and also over time.
