How auras impact your pickleball gameplay
DALLAS, TX – After discussing pickleball auras at Pickleball Inc. HQ, I decided to dive a bit deeper into auras and how they're connected to pro athletes, specifically pro pickleball players.
After some further research about auras, I couldn’t help but wonder if there was a correlation between a specific aura color and being a good professional athlete.
So, I chatted with a fourth-generation psychic medium who goes by the name of Mystic Michaela. She's a New Age expert with the ability to see people’s auras. According to spiritual beliefs, an aura is a colored emanation that’s said to enclose a human body.
“Auras are in the details, it’s the energy that motivates us. You can think of it as your energetic signature. Understanding your aura is like understanding your personality and your authentic self,” said Michaela.
She affirmed that auras absolutely impact pickleball gameplay. Your aura is how you connect to the game itself. She explained it like this:
“Once you’re playing a game, everybody is going to have an answer as to why they stick with it,” shared Michaela. “Maybe it’s the self-improvement like a yellow might have, or it’s the competition like a red might have. It could be the science of the game like a green might have.”
“Once you’re playing a game, everybody is going to have an answer as to why they stick with it,” shared Michaela. “Maybe it’s the self-improvement like a yellow might have, or it’s the competition like a red might have. It could be the science of the game like a green might have.”
“Athletes knowing their aura would help them be a better athlete and understand how their body moves and how they connect to their sport. This is another way to understand yourself and improve your game,” she added.
So, do all pro athletes have red auras?
After all, red auras are competitive. I can only assume that red auras are going to be the best athletes, right?
“Outwardly, people would assume that a red aura is better at the sport, but that’s not necessarily the case,” said Michaela. “It depends on the game. For example, if you’re a red, you love competition and love the feeling of winning. They love that feeling of being behind in the game and making a comeback. They love replaying the whole thing and knowing their opponent’s weaknesses.”
Red auras sound like textbook athletes given that description.
However, Michaela indicated that other auras make for surprisingly strong athletes as well.
“Green auras love the strategy of the game. They know that if they place the ball in this spot, this will happen. Greens win by strategy, so they don’t have to be the strongest or the fastest. They know where to put the ball to make their opponent weaker based on what they can do. It’s like playing chess with their opponents,” she explained.
“I think that’s why pickleball is something that people are latching onto because it’s not just about who’s the quickest or the strongest, it appeals to people who can outthink their opponents, too. That really appeals to greens and yellows,” she continued.
On the surface, reds appear to be the best athletes, but in a strategic game like pickleball that merges athleticism and strategy, other aura colors flourish just as much as the stereotypically strong.
That makes pickleball a truly fascinating sport that any aura can dominate.
