Order ON The Courts with Scott Ficks
Career tennis & pickleball coach Scott Ficks discusses various topics in the tennis, pickleball, coaching, and business world along with other life lessons and current events.

It could also be an incredible waste of time that you will never get back.

Mistakes Matter, But Not All Of Them 29.05.2024 1:53
Don't focus solely on the number of mistakes you make during a match. Pay attention to when you are making them because that can be far more important than the total number. Just don't miss on game point, set point, or match point, and you can still be successful. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ scottfickstenn...

Dumb Analogy Series: Swanson It! 29.03.2024 2:16
If you are uncertain what shot to choose or where to move on the court, pick something and commit to it. Don't try and do multiple things average, do one thing great. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfickstennis

Dumb Analogy Series: Spend More Time Being Clark Kent 17.03.2024 2:37
Many players focus on trying to do amazing things and take too many risks.

Dumb Analogy Series: Lead Singers and Drummers 26.02.2024 2:34
Good lead singers get to have all the fun, stage diving, jumping off of stuff, lighting guitars on fire....but behind them is a great drummer, who keeps the band rocking no matter what the lead singer does. Know your role in a doubles match and be great at both. https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfickstennis https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpo...
My Dad Joins Me Again....#70 Is The Most Random So Far 19.02.2024 49:08

Dumb Analogy Series: Just Fix The Flat Tire 11.02.2024 3:52
Sometimes a major mistake has a very small solution. If you get a flat tire, most normal people do not immediately purchase a new car. It is likely a quick fix that can be done without assistance. https://www.tiktok.com/@scottfickstennis?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc https://www.instagram.com/scottficks_tennis_and_pickle/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g
Dumb Analogy Series: Faster Than The Bear 04.02.2024 2:51
This analogy talks about how you don't have to play the greatest tennis ever, you just have to be better than your opponent. If they are playing like garbage, you just have to be less garbage. Easy. Click the link below to follow on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNBVvpoR-mB9V_ASnX5V62g
