Facts! Pickleball is magic.
Pickleball?! It’s a bit of a silly name - and I hadn’t paid much attention to it. I mostly dismissed it as a fad, something not all that serious or mainstream. But my opinion completely changed this week. I attended an unrelated city council meeting, and to my surprise, much…
For my paddle nerds. Paddles 101 episode 4 is here. youtu.be/PrOE9dzCJ1U
About to do a pod with PPL lead engineer Curtis Cruz about paddles if anyone has any questions… fire away @UnitedPBAssoc @PPAtour @MajorLeaguePB
My journey to Malaysia for the inaugural @ppatourasia event has begun. Let’s go!
I am so grateful to be able to work in a sport that I love and means so much to so many people. Feels like pickleball is only just getting started. Felt compelled to take the moment to reflect on and acknowledge how fortunate I am. Now, back to work!
You got questions? Curtis Cruz is coming with the answers. Drop them in the comments.

I second this. But also need to shoutout Dave Flemming, Michelle McMahon, Matt Manasse, Kamryn Blackwood, and all the others who do a great job of breaking it down while we watch.
GUYS!! I wrote an article for The Kitchen 🥰 Ahhh so exciting!! My mission as an amateur player is to help more rec players discover the excitement, skill, and inspiration that come from watching the pros play! Hopefully this helps that statement! thekitchenpickle.com/blogs/instruct…
What a run! We basically sold out of inventory! Amazing. Shout out to all the OG pickleball players who took a chance on a startup brand that wasn’t afraid to dream big. Glad you liked it, we will continue to improve and make gear to help you win! WringerWear.com
Wringerwear.com is live! If you play pickleball and want to play your best, I suggest you play with a WRINGER ;) @WringerWear #ForTheW #DryHandsAreFastHands
My superpower is hearing people utter the word “Pickleball” from across any room no matter how noisy and loud it might be. Unfortunately still unable to hear my wife when she asks me to help with dishes if I am not making direct eye contact with her.
Just noticed @Pickleballtv is now on @Roku and @AppleTV Not to mention online and their own app. #NoExcuses
We’re officially now up on Apple TV
PBTV has talked about that happening for Apple TV. They agree that’s the next step
The @PPAtour Atlanta was pretty epic. Packed crowds all week through the rain and heat. But watching the best players in the world compete is special. The amateurs were fun to watch too… especially the juniors. Amazing to see how good they are getting.

Why doesn’t @espn have pickleball on their app? I mean, Kabaddi? Really?
