Week 820: It's Time to Turn Up the Pickle!

Weekly Written Review

I lost some doubles pickleball games this week that I should've won. I blame myself for not playing aggressively enough. As a coach, I often don't have to hit hard. I mostly use finest. This was a wake-up call. It's time to turn up! 

Shout-outs to the Netflix animated series Mating Season. I enjoy watching it.
