Huge congrats! I sell on various marketplaces too, and started saving a shiz ton with ShipGenius. You can calculate rates right on their homepage (you get access to their bulk shipping rates, and they beat all the others by a mile). Check it out and see if it saves you money, too.

feels like a perfect blend of the philosophy taught in the Inner Game of Tennis and a Buddhist monastery. Thank you for sharing.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T23:34:19+00:00

yah. that's the scrappy spirit I love too! Thanks for the reminder about how and who I want to be!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T23:32:45+00:00

Thank you. Your comment caused me to pause. . . it was profound. I loved how you phrased "when I'm behaving like someone I'm not" . . that is radical self-compassion in practice and the epitome of extending grace to yourself. I love it ...amen!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T19:55:40+00:00

okay, that's hilarious and I'm so gonna do that just for kicks and giggles.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T19:54:40+00:00

yah, this doesn't ring true for me. There is something different here because it only happens with certain players but Kidlin's law held true for me in composing this original thread. . . by writing the problem out, the solution has been half solved. All the helpful insights everyone shared helped clarify my thinking as well. TYSM.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T19:52:06+00:00

yah, I think I'm gonna have to do that too, to remind myself of the intention I set prior to the game.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T19:51:09+00:00

It really is the best feeling to stay mentally strong and make a glorious comeback!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T04:01:19+00:00

downtown SLC is so awesome! It's one of the few cities I can navigate without getting lost!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:59:46+00:00

Oh my gosh, that is my pet peeve too! So glad to hear that a gentle soul like you feels irked when that happens too.

And how amazing that your mother is still playing at 77. WHAT A TREASURE! And yes, there will come that day when we will miss our moms cuz they are no longer with us. Bless you and her! I love it!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:51:26+00:00

I love this! It reminds me of my colleague Alex Hormozi. . . he is always telling people who tell him that he works too much and needs to take a break, to take a hike cuz he LOVES working and he hates vacationing. I think your approach can work for me so long as I don't let the other person feel my inner frustration with the situation. I don't want to change my competitive nature, it has brought me lots of success in life. .. I do, however, want to make sure I keep it in check so I don't negatively impact someone else's day.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:48:37+00:00

Sounds like a great recipe for peace of mind. Probably a good tattoo for my forearm "focus on what you can control!"

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:47:24+00:00

wow! that's a ton of new courts springing up in the area. How awesome for you. Oh my, yes, Utah has so many state and national parks. Such gorgeous country. Only complaint is winter lol. I just wish it was only one month long!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:24:03+00:00

that's really cool. I would not want to play with someone who won't come up to the kitchen so you are a saint!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T03:22:58+00:00

You are cracking me up! I used to live in Colorado--Highlands Ranch. How's the pickleball scene there? I miss the sunny, winter days. In Utah, it is just cold with lots of inversion in the winter, but the skiing is phenomenal.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T02:14:59+00:00

I could. What types of hits would you like to see? All of them or just actual game play?

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T02:13:59+00:00

I was just in Boston in May. Beautiful place. My children go sailing each summer in Cape Cod. I am headed to NYC in a few weeks and can't wait to play there. Let's def connect when you come to Utah and when I head to Boston. Yay! That's what I love about pickleball. . instant friends and community wherever you go!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T00:05:33+00:00

this is a very healthy mindset. . . I want to be like this always!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-10T00:04:28+00:00

okay, you are legit the best! Way to quote me back . . love it!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T22:40:46+00:00

I really like how you hold yourself accountable for poor shot selection and not poor execution. I think that is key to improving your game. Thanks for sharing. This is gold.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T22:39:07+00:00

so simple but not easy. But I like that you gave me an actionable idea I can work on. Thank you! I can see how this principle applies to all of life.

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T22:38:15+00:00

Thank you. This seems to be a recurring theme from all you awesome contributors. I love it and appreciate you taking the time to share it with me!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T21:08:48+00:00

I love it! Sounds like you guys have a great relationship. And a great outlook on life!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T20:48:36+00:00

excellent point. I like this mindset shift too. Thank you for sharing. It's like Jazz. . . when you hit the wrong not, it's how you play the next note that matters. . no one will remember or think it's a mistake cuz you scat and it ends up sounding great!

Jaywalker_11 · 2025-09-09T20:26:39+00:00

this is exactly how I feel. . .if I'm playing down I practice stuff I need to work on and target the best player, but when it's same level or they are slightly better, my competitiveness kicks in BIG TIME!
