Podcasts about Pickleball

Sometimes it is really hard not to talk about tennis during g a Pickleball podcast episode.  But that is because so many of the professionals have a tennis background.  Nathalie Bagby does too, but what is interesting in the podcast is she lists so many differences between the two sports. 

Carl is in "pickleball" heaven this week since he got to interview the very funny Greg Schwem. Not only is Greg a talented comedian but also happens to be a kick-ass pickleball player! Greg talks about the amazing third act (or is it fourth?) he created for himself, as the producer/director/writer/star of the TV show "A Comedian Crashes Your Pad".  Greg also shares some great advice for anyone looking to reinvent themselves in the second half of their life. And as a bonus, Carl admits he has own fledgling comedy career. • More about Greg Schwem: https://www.gregschwem.com • More about A Comedian Crashes Your Pad:  https://acomediancrashesyourpad.com • Episode Content: https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/2022-ready-or-not-here-we-come • Sponsored by Capital Advantage:  https://capitaladvantage.com/podcast • Subscribe to the I Used to be Somebody newsletter: https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe

There is some suggestion that pickleball is becoming a hard game. The pros are hitting harder, attacking more often. But is that really the case? In this week's podcast we explain why the soft game is ALWAYS the right answer to the game. It is the approach to the game used by the pros when the stakes are highest. Yet it is a strategy that any player can use, regardless of background, size, age, etc. Adopting the soft game can radically alter your game. In the riff we discuss minimizing injuries – on and off the court – in 2022.

This quote doesn't mean anything unless you know the classic Zen story behind it. I heard Dr. Dyer tell it years ago, and here's how I remember it… A farmer walking into town passes The Buddha and says, “Buddha, please help me." "Something terrible has happened. My ox just died and now I have no way to plow my fields." "Isn't that the worst thing that could have happened to me?” The Buddha replies, “Maybe so; maybe not.” The farmer walks away shaking his head, thinking The Buddha has obviously gone mad. On his way home, he spots a huge, strong, wild horse and ropes him. This horse will do even more work than the ox. Next week, the farmer sees The Buddha and says, “You were right! I now have a horse that can do twice the work of my old ox. Isn't that wonderful news?” “Maybe so; maybe not,” says The Buddha. Again, the farmer walks home thinking The Buddha has lost touch with reality. When he arrives, he finds his son lying on the ground with a broken leg. He had been thrown while riding the new horse. On his next trip into town, the farmer spots The Buddha and says, “You were right again." "The horse broke my son's leg. Now he won't be able to help me at harvest time." "Surely, Buddha, don't you see this is the worst news imaginable?” “Maybe so; maybe not,” the Buddha calmly replied. That was the last straw! The farmer walked away, telling himself he had wasted enough time seeking advice from this old, senile man. Just then, word spread throughout town that war had broken out against a bigger, stronger village. Troops were going to every house and farm to round up all the able-bodied young men to fight. They would be outnumbered and outmatched, and would most likely die. The farmer rushed home. The troops had come, but since his son had a broken leg, he was not taken, and his life was spared. And from that day forward, the farmer never doubted the wisdom of The Buddha again. People mentioned in this episode: Dr. Wayne DyerAndrew CarnegieJohn D. RockefellerJ. P.

You've undoubtedly heard the old saying, “Behind every great man, there's a great woman.” Well, here's a variation for you... “Behind every great success, there's a great system.” Though both the great woman and the great system go unnoticed, their presence makes all the difference in the world. Success is all around you. If want to create more success in both your professional and personal life – notice I did not say “attract more success” – you need to identify and emulate the system that's producing it.

This quote often attributed to Nelson Mandela, but it's actually from Ms. Williamson's book, A Return to Love. Here's the complete paragraph: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” People mentioned in this episode: Marianne WilliamsonNelson MandelaJessie B.

What a simple, yet powerful turn of phrase from Dr. Dyer. He could sometimes get a little “out there” for my taste, but he never failed to inspire me. Another one of my favorites from him is... “When you squeeze an orange, what comes out? Orange juice. Why? Because that's what's inside. When life or other people squeeze or put pressure on you, what comes out? Whatever is already inside.” I might have to save that one for Simple Secrets: Volume II.
