Listen "Fighting Variability"
Episode Synopsis
Obstacles will naturally arise and are the reasons why you cannot reasonably say that you will not miss a single shot the next game you play. If obstacles are unavoidable and they generate the percentage, then that percentage is unavoidable by extension. This week we drive home the conversation we're having last week about 15% volley and setting reasonable expectations as we try to figure out the best way for us to approach the invariable situation where we miss a shot. If you understand what goes into your shots like shot variability, and removing variables, you can work your percentage error rate down.You can improve your shots by;i) Working on themii) Drilling iii) Playing more But no matter what, you're gonna have a number that is higher than 0% as there's no 0% error rate. Not even the pros have a 0% error rate. So set the number you want then get it down from whatever your number but recognize that you're always gonna have a number at the end of the day, and how you decide to react to the missed volley relative to that number is going to be relevant to, how you feel and also just dealing in the real world.Better Pickleball Academy; https://betterpickleball.com/academy/Check out last week's episode here; https://betterpickleball.com/221-mistakes-arent-a-failure/
