SO MAC (main audio): Gosh, that's great question. I would say probably staying locked in. Yeah, I think it's I think it's easy to get you know, pickleball is such a game of runs and it's it's very easy to kind of get in a quote unquote flow state, if you will, or kind of feel that tunnel vision of when everything is just going right. But it's very easy on the other hand to just fall apart. It's very easy to miss a dink and have that go to your head. It's very easy to miss a third up high and just have that go to your head. You can't hit a reset.

Adam: Gosh, that's great question. I would say probably staying locked in.

Sam Orlansky: when I start entertaining like all of his like,

RJ OMalley: when I start entertaining like all of his like,

Adam: is like,

SO MAC (main audio): you know, little quirks and comments after every play. So I guess what's the best way to approach that as a partner from a partner's perspective? That's a great question, though. Yeah. For me, I'd I'd probably just very shortly, I mean just take aside and say, Okay, come on, you know, we got this, you know, kind of pump up and yeah and say, you know, let's really focus. Let's, you know, maybe just, you know, tone down the the rhetoric a little bit, you know, let's really focus what we're doing. You know, we're almost there. And you know

RJ OMalley: You know, we're almost there. And

Sam Orlansky: you know, we're almost there. And

Adam: Yeah.

JT Nerio: But that's kind of how I was going to live. I I think it's a goal that, you know, we keep. Even though the thought that was made wasn't a great thought, it really is an important part of the big, big, big, big, big, big thing, right?

SO MAC (main audio): So that that's kinda how would handle it. Yeah. I mean, I I tell you people that that feel that that the awkward pause, you know, between points and and even though it the shot that was made wasn't a great shot. It's really an enforced error. They'll tell their partner, great shot, great shot. It's like Yeah. And it's like it's gratuitous, right? And

Adam: So that that's kinda how I would handle it. Yeah. I mean, I I tell you people that that feel that that that awkward pause, you know, between points and and even though it the shot that was made wasn't a great shot, it's really an enforced error. They'll tell their partner, great shot, great shot. It's like yeah.

Sam Orlansky: so that that's kinda how I would handle it. Yeah. I mean, I I take people that that feel that that that awkward pause, you know, between points and and even though it the shot that was made wasn't a great shot. It's really an enforced error. They'll tell their partner, great shot, great shot. It's like Yeah. It's like it's gratuitous, right?

RJ OMalley: so that that's kinda how I would handle it. Yeah. I mean, I I'm saying people that that feel that that that awkward pause, you know, between points and and even though it the shot that was made wasn't a great shot, it's really an enforced error. They'll tell their partner, great shot, great shot. It's like yeah, it it's like it's gratuitous, right?

SO MAC (main audio): it's like and they feel they have to say something every sh between every shot. That that kind of gets to me, but you know, if it's a great shot, it's a great shot. But you know, so

Sam Orlansky: It's like th they feel they have to say something every sh between every shot. That that kinda gets to me, but

Adam: It's like th they feel they have to say something every sh between every shot. That that kind of gets to me, but yeah, if it's a great shot, it's a great shot. But

RJ OMalley: It's like they feel they have to say something every sh between every shot. That that kinda gets to me, but

JT Nerio: Yeah

RJ OMalley: yeah, if it's a great shot, it's a great shot. But you know, so

Sam Orlansky: Yeah, if it's a great shot, it's a great shot. But you know, so

Adam: You know, so you know, definitely, you know, words of affirmation are go a long way. But but they gotta be genuine, right? After a while y you start to tone them out if it's like after every shot's like, great shot, great shot's like, no, I know it wasn't a great shot. You know it was a great shot. Yeah. So anyway. Pass to RJ. RJ, you had something to add to that? Yeah, I think

RJ OMalley: you know, definitely you know words of affirmation are go a long way. But but they gotta be genuine, right? After a while you start to tone them out if it's like after every shot, like, great shot, great shot's like, no, I know it wasn't a great shot. You know it was a great shot. Yeah. So anyway. Casta RJ. RJ, you had something to add to that?

Sam Orlansky: you know, definitely words of affirmation are go a long way. But but they gotta be genuine, right? After a while y you start to tone if it's like after every shot's like, great, shot a great shot. It's like, no, I know it wasn't a great shot. You know it was a great shot. Yeah. So anyway. Pass to R J. RJ, you had something to add to that? Yeah, I think

SO MAC (main audio): You know, definitely, you know, words of affirmation are go a long way. But but they gotta be genuine, right? After a while y you start to tone them out if if it's like after every shot, like, great shot, great shot. It's like, no, I know it wasn't a great shot. You know it was a great shot. Yeah. So anyway. Pass to RJ. RJ, you had something to add to that? Yeah, I think

RJ OMalley: Yeah, I think

SO MAC (main audio): to add on to JT's point, I'd actually do the opposite.

Sam Orlansky: to add on to JT's point, I'd actually do the opposite.

RJ OMalley: to add on to JT's point, I'd actually do the opposite.

Adam: to add on to JT's point, I'd actually do the opposite.

SO MAC (main audio): I I think with Sam, because we actually played the game after we did think and redemption song. We did win, which is good. And I played good. You did. You did. And I think to JT's point, I do agree with the positivity and and kind of words of affirmation in a way and just like approval too. But I I would honestly slow you down in the moment.

You already knew? yeah. You already knew? 'Cause for me 'cause we were s I we were stuck at eight two two For me, that's when I felt it, but I guess it was followed by negative self talk. Well, yeah, but you kinda have to think about it from your perspective, at least your team's perspective in that moment. You guys are still up six points, right? Like

JT Nerio: Thank you. Thank you.

SO MAC (main audio): You guys had a pretty commanding lead w especially when Sam and I were super tight. I think when we started to feel the game turn and the momentum turn is when Sam and I started stacking. Because usually I'm you on the left and he's on the right, but we switched and I had command in front of you. And I could also keep Vuong honest if you guys ended up switching too.

SO MAC (main audio): And that's when I think on your end, that's when we started rattling off a few points. That's when the negative self talk started. I'm actually remembering something from the match that didn't get clipped here. I don't think I said it said it loud enough. There was a point where I turned to Vuong and I was on the left side. I go, I'm fucking tired. Yeah. And that's when I felt it. Yeah. Cause I was working really hard. at my level, points don't go as long. Right. And that's what I you know, talking to JT when we were going over the match, like

Adam: and that's when, I think on your end, that's when we started rattling off.

Sam Orlansky: I think

Adam: I think

RJ OMalley: I think

SO MAC (main audio): I think there's

RJ OMalley: there's a real opportunity for you to just take less steps too. If you think about that, there's so many comments. All over the place. Well all over the place, you're talking to yourself an awful lot, which is fine. You think I'm taking more steps or chatting more? Both. No if you come on. That is a good question. Chatting.

Adam: There's a real opportunity for you to just take less steps too. If you think about that, there's so many times all over the place. Do you think I'm taking more steps or chatting more? Both. No. Come on. That's a good question. Chatting.

JT Nerio: Okay?

RJ OMalley: Well between At different times, right? At different times. Between points you're talking a lot and then during points you you really expend a lot of energy lateral, you know, you're you're moving a lot. I know I am. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you have good command too. Like the the thing that I think Sam and I noticed is that you're pretty steady going up into the eight two moment. You were super steady in the left and the right. I mean you I think you were earnie twice, right? Like Well one of tapped the net, but I did. Okay. But but otherwise I it felt like you had really good command to the left.

Adam: Well this is the spit one. At different times, right? At different times. Between points you're talking a lot and then during points you you really expend a lot of energy lateral, you know, you you're moving a lot. I know I am. Yeah, yeah. But you have good command too.

JT Nerio: And

SO MAC (main audio): And that's what I wanted to then try to keep Vuong honest, but I couldn't because my thirds, fifths, sevenths weren't really that good. and then once you felt that kind of tide turn, that's when your steps started doubling, tripling. That's when you started talking more. So, and that's what I think led to longer breaks in between each point, too. And more spit. More spit, of course. I just want to use the button.

Sam Orlansky: And that's what I wanted to then try to keep Vaughn honest, but I couldn't because my

That's when you started talking more. So and that's what I think led to longer breaks in between each point, too. And more spit. More spit, of course. I just want to use the button.

JT Nerio: then, I reached out that, of my third, that's when the government started to off. So, and that's when think the next big one is going to be the fourth. Fourth, right?

Sam Orlansky: Thirds, fifths, sevenths were really that good. and then once you felt that kind of tide turn, that's when your steps started doubling, tripling. That's when you started talking more.

SO MAC (main audio): In your in your opinion, how much of the mental game is tied to fatigue or conditioning or getting tired? Not just for me, but in general.

SO MAC (main audio): Okay. I'll start with you. I think when you get tired, like both these guys just said, then you the talking starts more. It's kind of like a defense mechanism. So I know you're more locked in when the mouthpiece is in and we're just grunting and we're moving back and forth. Yeah, put both in. And but I I think to bring it back like bigger picture, like in general.

SO MAC (main audio): Honestly, probably just positive self talk. Honestly, there there's moments where I get pretty down, you know, if I leave a ball way too high. Like that is enough for me to kind of just start this process of overthinking, of thinking about, okay, well that didn't work. So what's the next shot gonna be? Like when they're gonna return it to me and I start trying to think too far ahead. So I think staying present is probably the biggest the biggest

I'm playing the best pickleball that I've ever played, and I get to play. maybe locking in isn't about being perfect or perfectly focused every day. Maybe it's recognizing when it's left, right? And getting yourself back, getting there.

Sam Orlansky: that I don't. I I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm playing the best pickleball that I've ever played, and I get to play.

RJ OMalley: And RJ, Captain America, Mr. 5.0 Yeah.

JT Nerio: And our day, now is our day.

Adam: And RJ, Captain America, Mr. Five Point O.

Sam Orlansky: Alright, so we spent the entire time dissecting my game. What's one thing from the locked in episode that you feel that you may have taken away that you can apply to your game?

RJ OMalley: Yeah, I think I think there's two different areas. One, is just dialing it in and just slowing the game down is a huge part of my game that I need to really focus on. I have the strength, I have the power, I I need to really just be able to slow the game down where I know I should have. Right. And so that'd be probably the first one. and the second one is probably just mentally like not so much playing angry, but playing with a drive to win. I think sometimes I do

Sam Orlansky: Intensity.

RJ OMalley: and the intensity is huge, yeah. And and staying there. You know, there there's times in games where I really feel that tunnel vision and I love that mental exhaustion when I leave pickleball. I need that. Like I need to leave and feel mentally drained to know and be satisfied with my performance and the rest of my week.

Adam: Yeah. Thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having me, buddy. I'm so happy to have you. You wanna shout out a couple of people real quick? Yeah, she wanted to shout out the high controls pickleball community. they've been there for me ever since day one. yeah, I greatly appreciate those guys.
