Thank you for posting. Always great to hear from Newman. Both him and Lindsey are really nice people.
Why aren't you guys playing in more pro tournaments?
Hahaha..Driving your golfcart with paddle in hand! Glad to have you here in Texas!
Great questions you had lined up, fun interview to watch!
How long ago was this podcast made? Riley doesn't even play with Anna Bright anymore.
There is nothing on 'Mastering the Mental Game' click bait.
excellent podcast
Great interview and love Newman being straightforward with honest answers.
Who is the best pickleball player in AZ w Riley moving? Pesa?
I love Riley, he’s my favorite pickleball player & is one of the great players of today. But I would not advertise him as the best player in the world to get YT clicks.
Would love to see him play with Ben and Jack Sock.
Go Riley! I am the middle of 9 kids, and everything was a competition. Wish I found pickleball sooner because I get to express my competitive side again and hope to compete in senior amateur tournaments. I am overdoing the length of play and need to cut down to two hours.
Great podcast, Jordan and Caden. Hope you talk about how to eat and play. Even rec players need to prep properly. I play and drill 5 to 6 days each week and am wearing myself out.
Why such the delay in posting this podcast?
Fantastic interview guys! Riley speaking his mind and being so refreshingly honest is awesome. Great job!
Riley – put him in contact with me I do the mental coaching, I would help either of the 2 hosts. Let's talk you have nothing to lose and alot to gain.
Hi Jordan. I've been following you for 3 years. Still loving your videos so keep em coming. Great job with the podcast. I was thrilled to see that you secured Riley as a guest. Riley is such an awesome guy…clearly a great player but also a great instructor. I met him at the tournament at Pictona last month and asked him about doing a clinic in my area here in Florida. Despite his busy schedule, he graciously agreed to conduct a clinic for us in May. We would love to have more of the high level pros do clinics/camps in the Jacksonville area but the ones I have spoken with are all so busy now with their tournament schedule. That's why we are all so excited and grateful to have a player of Riley's caliber take the time to come here and throw us some pointers.
LMAO about the "Who did the most dishes?" question. Poor Carly. RN saying, "She didnt have a state title in tennis either." 😄
good content, but im sure you guys know, it helps a lot to have these out on time. some of the tournament previews come out after the tournament has been finished as well, and it's just not as interesting to listen to predictions after the fact. but keep up the great work, the discussions are great
Great blog, you always knock it out of the park, Thanks man.
That was fun. I would love to hear (or see a video on) elbow pain. You guys have lots of experience and have been around the game for a while now. Help out your PB community by covering "tennis" elbow please! I'm dying with it. Maybe also cover heel pain and anything else you see a lot of?
I love the dinking game. I don’t find it boring I find it adds tension as it continues especially the longer it goes. It’s like a Jenga game. When is it going to come crashing down?
