From paddle/racket sports to hockey, lacrosse, and more, our simple, yet powerful, stickers give athletes real-time mental, emotional, technical, and strategic firepower—right where you need it most: ON YOUR GEAR.
Key Benefits of MISSION STICKS™ Cue Words:

How to Use Your MISSION STICKS™ Cue Word Stickers:
- Perfect for Skill Building: Working on a new technique, skill, or strategy? Our sticker(s) will serve as gentle reminders to stay focused on what you need to improve. Place 1 to 2 technique/strategy cue words on your gear and look at one specific sticker before every point or play. Then quickly visualize the technique/strategy in your mind's eye. Cue words combined with kinesthetic visualization is a powerful combo! Work on 1 or 2 skills consistently for at least one month; when you feel you've mastered a skill, move onto others.
- Tournament Time: Select words that inspire confidence and focus during competition. For example, choose action words, strategic reminders, or motivational phrases that align with you and your game plan. Look at your words before every point or play and don't forget to visualize!
- Facing a Tough Opponent?: Customize your stickers with words that reflect your strategy against a specific opponent or team and look at your words before every point or play. These quick mental cues will keep you sharp, no matter who you’re playing.
- Recreational Play: Want to improve your game during casual play? Choose stickers that remind you to work on specific shots, techniques, or strategies that will boost your performance. Look at your sticker(s) before every point or play and visualize it in your mind's eye.
- Motivation & Inspiration: Sometimes, all you need is a little inspiration to push through. Add motivational words to keep your spirits high, whether you’re on or off the court or playing field. Look at your sticker(s) frequently and visualize yourself physically exuding the energy of the words.
THE KEY IS TO LOOK AT YOUR STICKER(S) BEFORE EVERY POINT OR PLAY, SAY THE CUE WORD OUT LOUD AND PRACTICE VISUALIZING IT.
Ideal for All Sports Equipment:
- Rackets & Paddles: Perfect for pickleball, tennis, platform tennis, padel, and more.

MISSION STICKS™ were created by Neely Sullivan, a former NCAA national tennis champion turned semi-pro pickleball player. After struggling with nerves in competition, Neely began using mental toughness techniques—including cue words—to calm her mind and sharpen her game. Realizing she needed a constant visual reminder, she printed cue words to stick on her paddle. She also began printing words to work on her technique and strategy. The result was powerful—and MISSION STICKS™ were born.
A proud mom and passionate competitor, Neely’s journey includes:
- Undefeated NCAA season, national singles champion, national team champions, and two-time All-American (tennis; Amherst College, '99).
- Gold, silver, and bronze medalist in Open and Pro pickleball draws.
- Co-host of The Real Housewives of Pickleball podcast.
- Lifelong advocate for character-driven, mentally tough athletes.
