Thank you for joining, Coach! See you at the next one! ☺️

4th Place in Men's Doubles & Mixed Doubles 🏓

Another tournament, another lesson.

This wasn't the result we were hoping for, but every tournament is an opportunity to learn and grow.

I played some of my best pickleball during the eliminations and quarterfinals. In the semifinals, I drifted away from my game. I started forcing winners instead of staying patient and trusting the strategy that got me there.

It's a tough lesson, but one I'll take with me as I continue to improve.

Thank you to Thinking Paddles , the Municipality of Libon (Libon Forward) , and everyone who worked hard to make this tournament a success. Congratulations to all the winners and participants. It was a great day of competition, learning, and sportsmanship.

To my teammates, friends, and everyone who cheered and supported us throughout the tournament, thank you. Your encouragement means a lot, and I'm grateful to have you in my corner.

Back to training. Back to learning.

Better every rally. 💙🏓
