Why pickleball?
</strong>
</h3>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
<span>
When I was a kid, I wanted to become the best in the world at something. Basketball was my sport. I came from a small town, played Division I basketball, then graduated in 2016. Not the best in the world, but not terrible! For the next five years, I played a lot of recreational sports but wasn’t truly competing anymore. I missed that. Then a friend, who knew I grew up playing tennis, told me to try pickleball, which is
</span>
<a rel="" style="color: #1a1a1a; text-decoration: underline;">
the fastest-growing sport in America
</a>
<span>
. A couple of days later, I matched with a girl on the dating app Hinge who recommended we play pickleball as a first date. At that point, I knew it was fate—sadly not the girl, but pickleball. I became obsessed, and I’ve played nearly every day since. It’s put me on a new path in my life, giving me a target to aim for and a mission to pursue. And I’m having a blast being on this journey and sharing the story along the way.

You said you wanted to become pro in 12 months, but you might reach your goal sooner?
</strong>
</h3>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
Three weeks ago, I played in my first pro tournament. The first-round matchup was against two top-20 players in the world. We lost 11-0 11-0 on center court. Yeah, not good! Then, two days later, I played in what’s called 5.0 (one level below the pro division) and won the whole tournament. Let’s go!

<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
I believe I’ll be a true pro in the next six to 12 months, then it will take longer than 12 months before I’m actually competing to win pro tournaments.

say that once.
</span>
</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
Pickleball is blowing up. When I first started playing, I was just having a blast. I had no intention to start a newsletter, make fun videos, or pursue a pro career. But then I thought, this is interesting. What if I share it all publicly?
</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">
At first, no one read a thing I wrote or watched a video I made. But I didn’t care. I made videos that some said made them laugh. I started to win tournaments, which gave me confidence to keep going. And over the days, weeks, and months, I started to meet interesting people.
</p>
<p style="color: #1a1a1a; font-size: 16px; line-height: 26px; margin: 0 0 1em 0;">

In fact, the number one player in the world and her mom (who’s also a top-5 player) came over to my backyard court (yes, I built a court) to play the other day, and it’s all because I made a fun
