Why Do I Think Too Much on the Pickleball Court?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

You're thinking about your grip.

Your footwork.

Your paddle position.

Your partner.

Your opponent.

The score.

The shot you missed two rallies ago.

The shot you hope to hit three rallies from now.

Sometimes it feels like you're playing pickleball with a committee meeting taking place inside your head.

And the strange thing is that the harder you try to solve the problem, the worse it sometimes gets.

Most players assume overthinking means they need a better thought.

A better strategy.

A better reminder.

A better mental cue.

But what if the problem isn't the quality of the thought?

What if the problem is that there are too many thoughts involved in the first place?

The Fluid Motion Factor takes a very different view of overthinking than most sports advice.
