PICKLEBALL

​

I had a busy August going from a Minneapolis charity event to the English Open to the Monsoon Championships in Mumbai to Chicago for the APP and now back to Ponte Vedra Beach for some R & R.​

​

Silver seems to be the theme for August, unfortunately. Ryler and I grabbed silver in Mumbai dropping a tight one to Jay Devilliers and Quang Duong. 

Jack Munro and I grabbed silver in Chicago dropping one to Will Howells and CJ Klinger.

​

Both matches we should have won. I feel like the lack of tournaments this year certainly contributed to just being a little rusty in the competitive sense. I'm not getting as many tournament reps because I haven't been playing that many tournaments because the APP only has 12 on the year and there are only a handful of international events.

​

I've got a little break until the APP in Dallas in early October, so I'll spend this month switching to a paddle with a bit more pop as it's simply not a level playing field with some of the paddles out there.

​

BOPPIN AROUND

​

We have two more games left in our season ticket package for the Fever. Malan and I are heading to Indianapolis tomorrow to watch CC22 and will do the same next weekend. 

​

I bet the Olympic committee feels incredibly stupid right now for leaving her off the team.

​

PROJECTS

​

I have closed down my role in Bristol as they need someone full time on the ground there and I just don't have the bandwidth to make that happen. ​

​

It's a bit of a bummer as we spent this year getting ready to launch the outdoor facility and now that it's up and running, I won't have set foot on the courts.

​

During their final walkthrough, after cement had already been poured, I noticed that the net posts were absurdly close to the fence. The courts would have been so tight that they were not suitable for tournament competition with the PPA event coming in right when the courts finish.

​

I'm glad I caught that as getting spacing wrong would have cost the facility and the city of Bristol hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next few years as large tournaments couldn't have been hosted at the Plex.

​

I have a ton of projects cooking. I am launching a 90-Day Mastery planner called the PicklePro Planner. It's a daily, weekly, monthly planner that allows you to set goals for the three months and track your progress in pickleball, work and life.

​

I will soon be launching an online community called Grow Pickleball where I provide video analysis weekly, provide ongoing video courses and instruction, have guest pro hangouts & AMAs along with heavy discounts to all things pickleball. It's going to be priced absurdly low at $5/mo, so it's a no-brainer to join.

​

I have launched Pickle Escapes and am hosting the next retreat in Antigua November 21-26. Check out the details and let me know if interested as we are keeping it to an intimate 16 players for highly specified and personal instruction.

​

I've been slacking on my newsletters as I'm still trying to work through automated workflows, so I will update those soon and stay on a consistent schedule.

​

I am working with a company on corporate pickleball and will be attending and hosting a pickleball workshop in Vegas October 14-16 and December 4-6. I am considering bringing my Corporate Pickleball business in with them as I focus on the smaller clients (not F500, etc) as well as assist in servicing the larger accounts. All TBD on the corporate front. 

​

Those are all the projects for now, and as always, if you have interest in partnering on any of the above, please let me know.
