Ben Johns's Game Goes Well Beyond a Backhand Roll Volley

Ben Johns is down 4-9 to Tyson McGuffin. Watch him between rallies. Can you tell whether he won or lost the last one? Ben's unflappability isn't an accident. It is a skill. And it is one you can work on, too. In this video, I sit on the sideline at Nationals focused on one thing: what Ben does between rallies. A missed return of serve. A pop-up. A backhand reset he makes 99 times out of 100. Each time, the same thing follows. He walks back at a relaxed pace. He locks in for the next rally. When he wins a rally? Same walk. Same pace. Another day at the office. Here's the thing: Ben has two gears. When the ball is live, he is all over the court. When the rally ends, he slows down. There is no rally to play, so he doesn't spend energy on one. He resets. The last rally goes in the rearview mirror. Why does that matter for you? A rally you are still replaying takes up bandwidth you need for the next one. The reset gives it back. Tony Free mini-course on the mental part of the game: https://www.tonyroigpickleball.com/of...
