Are You Making Any Pickleball Resolutions for 2025?


Do you usually make New Year's resolutions?

Well, today is December 4th. New Year's Day is just 28 days away.

So, if you routinely make New Year's resolutions, it's time to be seriously considering your list.

According to Pew Research, the most common resolutions made are health-related.

It may be losing weight.

Getting in shape.  Exercising more.

Eating better.  Eating healthier.

Stopping smoking. Stopping drinking.

The next most common category of resolutions were money-related.

Some want to save more money.

Save for retirement.

Invest more consistently. Hire a financial advisor.

Set aside more savings for the kid's college funds.

Cut back on spending. 

Pay off debts more quickly.

What about pickleball-related resolutions?

I suppose those could be included under health-related resolutions.

But have you thought of making specific pickleball-related resolutions?

I would encourage you to do so.

Here are some thoughts:

 1.  Play more often and more consistently.

 2. Enter a tournament if you never have.

 3. Work on improving one skill, e.g. dinking, serving, resetting, etc.

 4. Challenge yourself by playing better opponents more often.

 5. Play longer than one hour at a time. It's better for your health.

 6. Upgrade your paddle, if you didn't in 2024.

 7. Watch more professional pickleball matches on TV.

 8. Add a new skill to your game, e.g. Erne, top-spin drive, drops, etc.


That is by no means an exhaustive list.

Your list may look way different, and that's fine!

The purpose of this blog post is just to encourage you to plan.

Plan for 2025 pickleball fun as well as growth and improvement!

Good luck!!
