Paddle Wrecked Me

Dont be fooled by the picture, the paddle I am blogging about us not the type that provides power to a boat. It's a racket ball game using a bat smaller than a tennis racket, a squash racket but bigger than a table tennis bat.

The court is like a tennis court and a squash court rolled inrlri one. It also encompasses real tennis play to an extent.

I thought, well this looks simple enough to play and I'm very reasonable at all racket sports πŸ˜‰ so let's give it a go, looks easy. Mistake No1, never underestimate a game that looks simple, it will bite you in the butt, and it did. I lost 6-0, 6-0, 6-1. I pulled both thigh muscles, burned my left knee on the surface, have pains all through my armsπŸ˜—, legs, back, shoulders and bottom.

Mistake No2, do not underestimate your opponent. I knew both my opponents and they gave nothing, absolutely destroyed me.

Mistake No3, not prepared. I definitely was not ready for what I was taking in. In my mind, I had already won. I actually think my opponents took it easy on me.

What did I learn.

Research, prepare, deploy, learn, audit, plan, deploy, learn, start again and repeat.
