Special Episode - The Next Phase: What's Tony Roig Pickleball?

[00:00:05] Hello and welcome to Pickleball Therapy, the podcast dedicated to your pickleball improvement. This special episode is particularly suited to the idea of pickleball improvement. I'm going to be sharing with you a brand new venture in the next phase of my coaching journey. Talk about what's going on there. Talk about what's going on with CJ and Better Pickleball. Everything's going fine on both. We're going to be doing awesome work for the pickleball community. And I also want to talk about what this means to you as a player. If you're dedicated to your improvement journey,

[00:00:35] what does this mean for you? So let me start with Tony Roig Pickleball. So Tony Roig Pickleball is, as I mentioned, my next phase. This is just another step in the evolutionary process of a coach. CJ and I founded Better Pickleball back in 2020. In those six years, which have been an awesome six years for myself, and I think I speak for CJ as well in saying those were great six years, we developed a lot of really powerful concepts. Three pillars of pickleball. Framework, objective, strategy, and shots approach. Strive.

[00:01:05] Right? The pickleball system, right? The comprehensive course that has led the way in pickleball for online learning in our sport. So all of those come out of a Better Pickleball joint effort between myself and CJ. Tony Roig Pickleball is going to build on that, or we're going to continue to go forward. So the three pillars of pickleball are going to be a foundation for us. But from there, we're going to evolve into the phases of pickleball, right? We're going next level on it, right? We're going to go into the acts of pickleball, which we started.

[00:01:33] And Better Pickleball, we're going to continue to develop that concept, right? So as a coach, my passion is to continue to grow curriculum, continue to grow ideas and ways to transmit information to you as the player. And when I say to you as a player, obviously anybody's welcome, but I'm really talking to players who are genuinely interested in growing, right? Genuinely interested in knowing the sport. Genuinely interested in going deep in the sport, right?

[00:01:56] Because I find this sport to be a fascinating story. I love sharing the story of it. And so players who want to learn the story and to tell the story the same way that I can tell it, you know, as deeply as I can tell, I should say not, you don't have to say exactly the same way I'm saying it, but as deeply as I'm saying it, that's my passion. That's what I want to do. And that's why, you know, 20-word pickleball allows me to explore some areas, you know, some different ideas, some different levels of training and coaching.

[00:02:27] So that's what we're doing at 20-word pickleball. I invite you to go to 20wordpickleball.com. Check out the, we have some free mini courses on there loaded up for you. Check them out. You can see, you know, for yourself, whether it's something that is of interest to you, right? Check out the mini courses. We have different, I believe right now we have four mini courses on there. We have some coaching playbooks that are free. You're welcome to check those out. Bring them into your game if you like them. Keep following us. Keep joining us. Subscribe to our newsletter that we have coming out.

[00:02:57] We're going to give you some tips in there, some links to other information that you can bring into your game if that's of interest to you. This podcast will continue to be Pickleball Therapy. It's under the 20-word Pickleball umbrella if you think about it that way, but it's, this podcast will not be interrupted. The next phase of the Pickleball Therapy book will be coming out in the next, it may, I might be able to get it done this year. We'll see.

[00:03:22] We have a lot of work to do inside TonyRickPickleball, you know, as we, as we continue to develop the content inside there, but the book, you know, that's going to still on the, on the table to come out. So all of the projects are there. Camps are going to be up at TonyRickPickleball.com. You can join us at the, at one of our camps. We're going to be traveling throughout the country, offering training.

[00:03:43] So check that out. If you're interested in one-on-one direct coaching with me, TonyRickPickleball.com, check it out there and sign up for that. So basically anything that we can do to help you as a player, that's the entire premise of Tony Roy Pickleball. We're also going to be working on some projects, adjunct projects to Tony Roig Pickleball to help continue to grow the sport of Pickleball, which is a very important part of our mission as, as a company.

[00:04:11] One of the things, one of the operating tenants that I want to share with you as part of our company is we are in our mission statement that finances are not an impediment to your growth as a player. Okay. So if you find yourself in a situation where I want to learn more, I want to do this program, I want to do something in Tony Roig Pickleball ecosystem, but I, you know, it's not in my budget.

[00:04:36] Please do not let that be an impediment to you. Send us a message, let us know what you can do. Happy to try and work with you if we can. We're going to make it work, right? We'll do everything possible to make it work. So, you know, that's just really important for me to share with you because I think sometimes players may feel hesitant, right? To do something because of finances, hesitant to reach out because of finances.

[00:04:59] Please do not do that with any coaching needs that you have in Pickleball because we want to help Pickleball players who want to grow, grow. That's what we're, that's why we have Tony Roig Pickleball. So anyway, so that's, I wanted to put that on the table there. Now let me talk about Better Pickleball. Better Pickleball is not going anywhere. Better Pickleball is going to continue to do its work. Uh, CJ is going to continue at the head of Better Pickleball. CJ and I remain friends. Everything is fantastic between us.

[00:05:26] It's just a function of CJ operating, you know, Better Pickleball with her vision. I'm going to operate Tony Roy Pickleball with my vision. We're both have the same final objective, which is to help Pickleball players to grow and strengthen the Pickleball community. So both entities will continue to move forward, uh, in the way that, that they're going to with the objective of Pickleball, right? And making Pickleball better.

[00:05:51] So, uh, continue to follow CJ over at Better Pickleball and what she's doing over there. I'm excited to see what developments come out of that.
