Maybe There Will Be Big Fans?

For the first time, I am going to play pickleball indoors today and I am a little nervous . . . one of my main mental tactics is that I never blame myself for a bad shot-- it's the psychological technique of sublimating instead of ruminating, famously studied by Martin Seligman-- but if we are indoors, how will I blame the wind?

    i actually didn't need to blame anything-- it's so much easier to play indoors-- the ball bounces cleanly, you can see really well, there are no rocks and leaves and sand on the court, you can hit shots deeper because there's less variance-- it's pretty wild. when you hit a bad shot, you know why.
