A 7-Minute Pickleball Meditation by Richard Pickleball

This video provides a seven-minute meditation designed to help pickleball players stay calm, focused, and prepared for a match.

The meditation serves as a "reset button," helping players clear their minds and build confidence before they compete.

The session includes breathing and relaxation exercises to release physical tension in the shoulders and jaw.

A key focus of the meditation is mindful presence, encouraging players to concentrate on the current moment rather than past mistakes or future worries.

The meditation also guides listeners through a visualization exercise, where they imagine themselves executing perfect shots and winning points.

A crucial part of the session is visualizing a mistake and, instead of dwelling on it, taking a breath, resetting, and letting it go, which reinforces the skill of staying calm under pressure.

Key Points:

Pre-Match Reset: Use this 7-minute meditation to clear your mind and prepare for a match.
Mindful Presence: Focus on the current moment on the court, not past or future points.
Visualization: Imagine yourself executing perfect shots to build confidence.
Cope with Mistakes: Practice resetting and letting go of errors to stay calm under pressure.
Build a Confident Mindset: This meditation helps build a calm and confident mindset for better on-court performance.
