Synchronizer of partners and swimmer of team spirit – your special power is your ability to elevate the play of every duo you’re a part of on the pickleball court.

You’re a chemistry catalyst, a gelling agent, someone who brings out the best in others.
You do something so few can: improve every team you join through selfless play and unwavering support.

Your super power resides in your partnership powers – you have an uncanny knack for knowing exactly what your teammate needs from you in each moment to succeed.

Becoming the ultimate doubles enhancer (the kind of selfless glue every great team needs) is the dream of every complement player out there. Problem is, partnerships are complex dances with no set choreography.

Instead, you find yourself constantly waltzing between different partners, adjusting your style to theirs, placing their needs above your own.

Teammates tell you you’re too willing to sacrifice for them and it makes you question everything. You’re expected to never leave your partner hanging, but what about your own untapped excellence?

You worry about how to be a selfless supporter while still shining yourself. How to maintain your adaptable nature while still being commanding when needed. How to keep growing your team-first toolkit so you can gel with any partner.

You stress out that you don’t stand out individually like the pickleball pair prodigies you watch on YouTube. Heck, you might even blend into the background sometimes and that definitely keeps you up at night.

Hey Dolphin, I know how easy it is to feel overlooked as the one making your partners look good. Let’s dive into how to become a standout support system below!
That sense that you need to stifle your own skills for the “greater good” of the team – it’s time to send that misguided notion out to sea.

You’ve got what it takes to become the most in-demand doubles partner in the pickleball ocean. Don’t let your self-sacrificial tendencies cause you to drown your potential. You got this.

How many times have you asked yourself – can I truly be a star in my own right if I’m always making my partners shine? Sure, you see other support players basking in the glory sometimes. But that’s them…you’re different.

While the thought of being the most desirable teammate in town sounds like an amazing aspiration, you can’t help but wonder if by lifting others up, you’re leaving yourself behind.

Something reserved for the ultimate team players who don’t care about individual credit. Certainly not for secretly-wants-the-spotlight you who knows your selfless skills enable winning just as much as the big putaway shots.

The truth is, underneath that perfectly-gelling exterior, there’s a pickleball powerhouse who’s ready for their individual excellence to be recognized.

All this playing second fiddle and letting your teammates take center stage, it’s really not allowing you to make use of your full gifts.

So what if you’re not as flashy or aggressive as your partners? Or you haven’t demanded that the focus be on you and your own immense abilities?

All of that is secondary to the most important thing: believing that you can support and shine simultaneously, and that your team-first ethos is the very thing that makes you exceptional.

It might feel impossible to stand out when you specialize in making others stand out. You might think you’re light-years away from getting the individual credit your unique doubles dynamo abilities deserve.

But listen here Dolphin – your partner-elevating, team-before-self style is going to lead to plenty of podiums if you start applying it to yourself as well.
