🤔 Christine Maddox says crystals boost 'self-confidence, strength, and injury prevention' in pickleball—do you agree? 💎💪 #Pickleball #Pro #News

🎾💰 According to Travis Rettenmaier, for #Pickleball to reach its full potential, gambling plays a crucial role. He emphasizes the need for fair outcomes and trust in the sport.

"You can’t have circumstances where people that are a bit classless and don’t necessarily care about the way that they appear are willing to cheat and win at all costs. Unfortunately, we’re still in a circumstance with MLP—and pickleball in general—where there’s no recourse for these people, and they are willing to cheat", he added.

Ben Johns discusses 2024 MLP & PPA pay cuts: “Yes, I’m taking a pay cut, but if it’s for the good of the sport overall, I’m for it. I think we all knew the recent contract increases were massively overpaid and not likely to be sustainable. If we grow responsibly, we’ll get there eventually,” he said.

“You meet more friends in pickleball than in any other sport, because you’re so close, and everybody is in a good mood, it seems like. And it’s so social, everybody’s out there, they’re drinking wine on the courts as they’re waiting. And the turnover; from tennis, you wait 30-40 minutes for them to end the set and get more people out there, but pickleball, every 10 minutes, the game changes over, so it moves really quick. It’s delightful.” said Van Patten.

From taking datasets, cleaning them, and then utilizing them to create visuals for business lines, to playing Pro Pickleball in a bunch of days.“I like to see it as a challenge,” Lohani said. “A lot of people can work a corporate job or play pickleball at a high level, but not many can do both and do both well. And at the end of the day, I think transparency in both worlds goes a long way in terms of being realistic with my boss with what deadlines I can meet and with how many tournaments and events I can make on the PPA Tour. I definitely will know when I’m over-exerting myself, but for now, I feel as though I can give 100 percent of my devoted attention to the part of my life that I am doing at the moment.”“I’ll be looking to build on it at Nationals [taking place in Dallas in November] and into the 2024 PPA Tour season”, said the player who lost the last singles final to world No. 1 Ben Johns.#Pickleball #Pro #News
