Great work with my coach today. I hen some killer rec games… I ate great and did all of my recovery. In the evening I was able to hit the weights! It was a good day. How’s everyone else doing?

You guys have made it to the final weekly check-in! Great work. All that's left is this week, and then one final check-in! Regardless of the outcome, I am so proud of everybody in here for the efforts that they have made throughout this challenge. That being said I know you are all competative, and the leaderboard has been updated! Can anyone catch @Marc Dubois This week's GIVEAWAY is a FORWRD Court Caddy Pickleball bag. This is the granddaddy of all Pickleball bags. Good luck! Shout out to @Tara Schultz who won last week's giveaway, and as always, check out all of our sponsors and use code Nico the Lefty for a discount with each one of them. Good luck, I'm rooting for you all!

Tomorrow (Sunday, 24 May) I will play in the MiLP tournament that I came to Malaysia for. Having played with lots of Malaysian players over the last week, I notice that most players are powerful hitters, driving the ball really hard but directing it at opponents faces or bodies. 🫣 Not a style that I am used to. I know I don’t move very quickly so I’m often unable to move out of the way of balls going out and to block those balls with any real accuracy - so I will just be out there to have fun and with no expectation of any wins in the 3 sets of games that my team will play against the other teams in our pool. This tournament will be my first MiLP and the first tournament playing rally scoring - so no doubt I will be laughing all the time at my own errors! My sympathy lies with my team mates. 🤭😁

So this morning I played at Tomaz Pickleball Club in Kuala Lumpur again. I spotted Colin Wong and Syed Uzair coming into the club to train in a private section. I snuck in for a quick look between games - didn’t want to be additionally cheeky and take a pic or a video - but I have to say that watching the top Malaysian players train is thrilling and inspiring! I have seen them both playing in competition but this was the first time I watched them training. It’s clear why they are top of their game with their hard work and dedication.

So … here’s an idea … Let’s create an official Lefty Reset song. My suggestion is that we all add some words as we go along. To the tune of “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer” (7 syllables per sentence) … Nico the Lefty Reset Really made me change my ways I had the shape of a whale Now I can just see my toes … 🎶🎶🎶
