Pickleball and life lessons

Lê Vinh |

Pickleball used to have a bad reputation when it exploded in Vietnam, but researching and learning learned valuable lessons from that.

At this time, people are more familiar with a sound that was still unfamiliar a few years ago. The sound of tennis and football hitting each other on pickleball courts is getting more and more bustling, as the new sport has not yet entered Vietnam but has developed strongly.

At first, pickleball was "bad applause" for a few reasons - and is still haunted by the thinking of many people. But learning and playing this sport, people can see lessons for life. Pickleball is like a slow walk, where people find themselves after the smashes of life.

On that pitch, every hit is not simply a reflection. It is concentration, it is the choice of time, it is self-control in accumulation. At times it seems like just a big swing is enough to win, but no, pickleball is not for the heat. It requires players to learn to wait, learn to suppress, learn to attack when the opportunity is ripe. Like in life, sometimes we have to take a step back, to take the next three steps.

There are older people who play pickleball, even though they don't win a single game in the whole game, the way they persevere with each step, each beat, to see that the biggest victory is sometimes overcoming themselves.

Pickleball teaches people to be well -groomed. No shot is "given". Each ball is a time when the player wondered: "Are you really wholeheartedly?". The unpredictable ball lines of this sport teach us how to adapt, to avoid the mistakes that have been made. And when the opponent launched a unexpected Smash, the fast reflexes were not as calm as the calm - the better the quality of the people.

Pickleball is not a borrowed game, as someone hastily summarizes. It is a collection of the most sophisticated, simple and quiet things of sports. And sports are also a part of life - where people learn how to lose, learn how to win and most importantly: learn how to play properly.
