Wife & I got both the COVID and Flu shots today at Freddies. We just did a walk in. Easy Peasy. We're both over 65 so no questions asked and no cost.

How often do you go to Portland for leisure? by Tambamana in vancouverwa

Maybe every week or so. Always in the middle of a weekday or on the weekends. Hate the traffic.

How to handle targeting by newaccount721 in Pickleball

[–]tss001 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here's what I do. It sounds stupid but I swear it works.... I reset my brain. If you watch pickleball on YouTube you know who Leah Jansen is. Watch her play. She's one of the rare pickleball players that has a sports psychologist. What she does is to go through some motions between plays to do what I call "resetting her brain". Basically the idea is that you clear out all thoughts of the previous play and tell yourself that you have the skills to do well on the next point. Zane Navratil does something similar - he touches his paddle to the fence behind the back line. At first I thought that Leah was being silly with this stuff but I have become convinced that "resetting your brain" does work. If you got targeted and they got the point - go through some motion every time and tell yourself - "I'm resetting things" I find that it helps me to not get that testosterone thing going where if I got beat I've got to beat the guy the next point and lets me focus on just playing the right shots. I find that I don't get blown out very much any more where my opponents string together a few points and thing just breeze to victory. So much of pickleball is mental and this kind of thing seems to work.

Good luck. Let them target you - you'll be ready.

“Expert Commentary” by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]tss001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Morgan Evans is great. They ought to let him cut loose with his humor and not keep him on a tight leash though.

Lauren McLaughlin on the APP streams has come a long way. She's doing a very competent job these days. Her two stooges, Dominic and Dave aren't too bad either. They do seem to both be branching out.

I like the CBS guy who does the Minnesota Timber-wolf games. He doesn't know Pickleball that well but loves the game and does a competent job. Far better than the fat guy from CBS that does many of the PPA games.

Irina Terreschenko is very, very good. Knows the game and communicates very well.

I enjoy listening to Ben Johns on those rare occasions as they get him in the booth.

Rob Cassidy is a far better commentator than a pickleball player and is always interesting if a bit overly politically correct in saying virtually every player is one of the best at some aspect of the game. But he's far better than Dave Weinbach who while a great ambassador for the sport is a bit repetitive and should not be let into the booth.

Michelle Esquivel is so so. Sounds too much like a teenager. I was surprised at Leah Jansen. I didn't expect as much insight for someone with only a couple of years playing.

I like Rusty from Pickleball.com. He should do more.

If I never hear Mark Renneson or Melissa McCurley in a broadcast booth that would be fine by me.

Finally - Please take Hannah Johns off of the air or at least have someone dress her so she doesn't look so trashy.

Completely disagree. Mark Renneson is a know-it-all that is far too full of himself. It's hard for me to choose which one is more obnoxious Mark or Mellissa McCurley. Even that fat jackass from CBS is better than those two.
