The way you play is the way you live. The court just makes it visible.
In nearly fifty years of coaching, USPTA Professional and PPR Certified Pickleball Pro Mary Pat Faley has watched thousands of people step onto a court - and discovered something no instruction manual ever told her to look for.
The way a player handles a bad call tells her how they handle injustice. The way they treat their partner after three errors tells her about their capacity for grace. The way they respond the moment before a big point - whether they tighten up or settle in - tells her about their whole inner life.
The court is the most honest mirror most of us will ever look into. Pickleball, it turns out, is a particularly clear one.
Winning in Pickleball and Life: Master the Game. Master Yourself. is unlike any pickleball book you have read - because it refuses to stop at the baseline. Part strategy guide, part life coaching, part deeply personal memoir, it delivers:
Woven throughout are stories that will stay with you long after you finish: a 90-year-old father playing pickleball for the first time, a blind teenager who hit 102 balls over the net his first day on court, a community of 35 people who lost their homes in a wildfire and came back four days later because Pickletown felt like home.
Mary Pat Faley built Pickletown LA from tape on a parking lot into one of Los Angeles's most beloved pickleball communities. She has coached APP Tour professionals, cancer survivors, nationally ranked juniors, and complete beginners. She brings fifty years of all of it to these pages.
"Mary Pat's teaching style encourages pickleball players at any level to embrace their most confident self. She takes the learning process to a whole new territory - beyond the confines of the kitchen line." - Christine Maddox, APP Tour Professional, Ranked #5 Mixed Doubles
"In all of my years on the court, I have never seen a human more dedicated to their craft. Most importantly, she brings the energy and the FUN!" - Zack Taylor, APP Tour Professional, Ranked #15 Doubles
Whether you are new to the game or a competitive player, whether you came for the strategy or the stories - you will leave this book a better player and a more intentional person.
The court has been trying to show you something. This book helps you see it.
