The Aggressive Alligator Characteristics
Recommended areas for improvement:
Capturer of easy points and quick victories – it’s clear what your superpower is on the pickleball court. You’re an attacker, a risk-taker, someone who pounces on every opportunity to win.
You do something so few can: bring a raw, relentless intensity to every rally.
Your special power resides in how you approach the game – always on the offensive, ready to snap up any chance to put the ball away.
Playing winning pickleball (at a level that strikes fear into your opponents) is the dream of every aggressive competitor out there. Problem is, there’s no rulebook that tells you how to balance your natural attacking instincts with consistency and smart shot selection.
Instead, you’re smack dab in the middle of a chaotic court where you either dominate your opponents or find yourself making too many unforced errors in key moments.
Your partner tells you to be more patient and it makes you question everything. You’re expected to keep the ball in play and work the point, but that goes against your very nature.
You worry about how to pick your moments to attack, how to construct points to set up your winning shots, how to avoid getting passed down the line when you charge the net.
You stress out that you don’t have the perfect killshot or hands like the pros you watch on YouTube. Heck, you might find yourself trying low percentage shots too often and that definitely keeps your partner on edge.
Hey Alligator, I know how easy it is to get sucked into highlight reel pickleball and constantly going for the flashy putaways. Let’s talk about how we can help you develop a more well-rounded yet still attacking style below!
That sense of “go for broke” that tells you in order to win and crush your opponents you need to hit every ball as hard as you can – let’s tell that impulse to quiet down and play some smart pickleball.
You’ve got what it takes to be a deadly attacker and dependable partner. Don’t let your wild instincts undermine your amazing potential. You’ve got this.
How many times have you asked yourself – can I truly win at a high level while still playing my aggressive game? Sure, you see other people doing it. But that’s them… you’re different.
While the thought of being a dominant, attacking player sounds downright thrilling, you can’t help but think it requires a level of talent you may not possess.
Something reserved only for the truly gifted athletes. Certainly not eagerly aggressive you who likes to rush the net every chance you get, even if it’s not always the right time.
The truth is, underneath all that attacking instinct, there’s this smart pickleball player who knows you’ve got what it takes.
All this doubt and overthinking, it’s not nearly as important as you make it out to be.
So what if you don’t have the perfect form or the most powerful put-aways? Or you haven’t mastered the art of shot selection and sometimes make rash decisions in the heat of the moment.
All of that is secondary to the most important thing: believing that you can channel your aggressive energy into a winning style suited just for you.
It might feel impossible to harness your intensity. You might think you’re light-years away from being the poised yet lethal attacker you dream of becoming. But trust me Alligator, if I could learn to balance attack and defense and become a 5.0 player, so can you.
