In this moving conversation, Sandy Smith shares how pickleball became a source of strength, healing, and deep connection after her cancer journey. A pickleball player, coach, referee, and community leader, Sandy reflects on resilience, belonging, and the power of community on and off the court. Her story is a heartfelt reminder that we are far more alike than we are different, and that sometimes the smallest pickleball court holds the biggest life lessons.Reach Sandy at: sandyrumzsmith@gmail.com https://www.facebook.com/share/1CeJux8WyU/?mibextid=wwXIfrMusic gifted to us by Ian Pedersen: @ianpedersen Contact us: www.lifelessonsfrompickleball@gmail.com Social Media Links:https://www.lifelessonsfrompickleballpodcast.comhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557275391316https://www.instagram.com/lifelessonsfrompickleball/https://www.youtube.com/@LifeLessonsFromPickleballPodThanks for listening and you can also watch us on Youtube.
Kate Daggett is the Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of CourtsApp, a new company that aims to make it easier than ever to book a tennis court and get in the game. She joins the podcast to discuss how tennis entered her orbit, and how this idea was born in frustration, a frustration that she hopes to eliminate with this exciting endeavor. Daggett dives into steps CourtsApp has taken work with clubs and players, why it has entered the Pickleball space as well, and the value the game of tennis has provided to her in other areas of her life.

In this episode of The Everyday Ironman Podcast, Mike and Ashley sit down with Kyle Axman for a wide-ranging conversation that blends endurance sport, fitness tech, and a little friendly chaos. Kyle and Ashley first crossed paths at the NYC Marathon Expo, and the conversation takes off from there. Kyle works with Technogym, makers of the Skill Run treadmill designed to deliver real-time biofeedback and advanced running metrics. That sparks Mike's pitch for a future where form-fitting fabric provides muscle-engagement feedback during a run. Kyle also shares his unconventional path from pursuing an acting career to teaching spin classes, growing up with a dad who qualified for the Ironman World Championship, and why he and his wife proudly call themselves group fitness junkies. Plus, Ashley finally reveals the real reason she hates Pickleball.#TheEverydayIronman #AgeGroupAthlete #TriathlonLife #EnduranceTraining #FitnessTechnologyFit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Pure Tested Peptides - GLP-3, BPC 157, CJC-1295, ipamorelin, ss-31, epithalon, SLU-pp-332 99% pure research peptides for longevity muscle and metabolic healthSupport the show

The blog postIn this Lean Blog Audio episode, Mark Graban reflects on an unexpected leadership lesson learned on the pickleball court. As a beginner unlearning decades-old tennis habits, Mark experiences firsthand how execution errors, muscle memory, and self-criticism can quietly undermine learning. A kind instructor and supportive playing partners provide timely feedback—without blame—turning mistakes into moments of growth.The story becomes a practical metaphor for leadership, psychological safety, and continuous improvement. Mark connects a missed serve, an illegal volley, and other rookie mistakes to familiar workplace dynamics: fear of speaking up, hesitation to give feedback, and cultures that confuse mistakes with incompetence. Drawing on themes from his book The Mistakes That Make Us, he explores the difference between judgment errors and execution errors, why unlearning is often harder than learning, and how leaders set the tone for Kaizen through their reactions.Whether in sports, healthcare, manufacturing, or office work, improvement depends on environments where people feel safe to surface mistakes, reflect, and adjust—one learning cycle at a time.
It's a real pickle. New research shows that pickleball players are increasingly injuring their eyes, often seriously. Pickleball is called America's fastest-growing sport. All ages can play and have fun....

In today's episode, Dr. Killeen shares why time spent off the clock—whether on a pickleball court or flying down a mountain bike trail—isn't wasted time at all. He walks through a few simple questions about energy, excitement, connection, and laughter, and how different activities fill different buckets. Balance doesn't come from one perfect hobby—it comes from doing things that recharge you in different ways, so you can show up better at work and at home.

I spent three and a half hours taking pro pickleball lessons and walked away realizing how many of the problems people are having in business have nothing to do with talent, luck, or effort. They come down to mindset, fundamentals, and who's pushing you to show up. In this episode, Lori and I break down 4 lessons that translate directly to business and leadership, why opportunities don't go to the hardest workers, why fundamentals always scale better than raw talent, and why staring at the scoreboard instead of working the plan is keeping so many people stuck. Get ready to be more prepared, more disciplined, and surrounded by the right people. HIGHLIGHTS Why assuming the opportunity is coming to you changes everything. The mindset shift that makes you faster to act and win. How two men in their 70s destroyed talent with fundamentals. The pickleball lesson that changed how we think about business. Why staring at the score never grows your business. Why accountability partners matter more than motivation. How the right people force you into action when you'd normally procrastinate.

Chris just spent hours taking pro pickleball lessons and came home fired up with insights that immediately translated to business, growth, and leadership.

Historian Chrissie Senecal joined The Spark to explore how people throughout history have understood comets and meteors, especially long before modern science could explain what was happening in the sky. With the Geminid meteor shower lighting up December skies and holiday traditions top of mind, the conversation tied celestial events to seasonal stories, including legends surrounding the Star of Bethlehem. Senecal walked through what comets actually are, where they come from, and how ancient observers first recognized them as something different from stars or planets—often seeing them as omens or messages rather than natural objects. Cumberland County athletes rallied at Ace Pickleball Club in Enola, PA, pushing through a nonstop 48-hour pickleball match to break a world record—while each player competed for a different charity or cause.

If you are feeling isolated in a new city, struggling to find your "squad," or burnt out from juggling work and family, this masterclass on social health is for you.

Pickleball Tips - 4.0 To Pro, A Pocket-Sized Pickleball Podcast
In this episode, Michael O'Neal (Long Beach, CA) and Mircea “MEER-cha” Morariu (Boca Raton, FL) are finally back together after a long break from podcasting and from regular pickleball play. This week, the guys dive deep into one of the most overlooked—and most transformative—concepts in pickleball improvement: Whether you're a 3.0 trying to climb or a 4.5 tuning the edges of your game, how you approach your recreational games determines how quickly you level up. Michael and Mircea break down: Mircea shares his linebacker-footwork story and why athletic transfer is often the missing link for adult players. Pick one skill per game: e.g., inside-out forehand speed-ups, defense, or drops only Work on recognizing paddle angles and predicting opponents' shots Identify “safe spots” vs. “danger zones” on each opponent How to collaborate with a partner—even in rec play with strangers You can still grow—even if you're stuck in chaos-ball games with bangers or beginners. Mircea explains how to turn those games into valuable defensive reps or tactical experiments. Lobs, ripping at beginners, avoiding the better player, poaching every ball—Michael and Mircea break down the “read the room” factor and why winning a rec game should never come at the expense of being a good human. Michael explains how simplifying your drops and eliminating spin can help you get your rhythm back fast. Every rec game is a training opportunity—if you decide it is. Footwork is the foundation. Fix it and you gain an entire level. Communicate with your partner. Even one word—drive, drop, middle—changes the whole point. Make them hit. Trust your defense. Stop trying to hit perfect drops. And above all… don't be a jerk. Thanks to everyone who reached out wondering where we've been. It means everything to know the show is part of your weekly pickleball journey. If you enjoy the pod, please leave a quick rating or review on Apple Podcasts—it helps more players find the show. See you on the courts. Until next time, have yourselves a wonderful day. ⭐ Intentional Rec Play

Joe doubles down on his take that he's out on Pickleball.
This week, Zane is joined by The Dink's own Alex Weaver for a deep-dive into one of the wildest and fastest-growing problems in pickleball: counterfeit paddles flooding the market. You've seen them on T-Mu, Facebook Marketplace, maybe even at your local rec courts… but the scale of the problem is WAY bigger than most players realize. Alex breaks down: - How knockoff brands are copying top paddles within weeks of release - Why major companies are fighting regulatory “whack-a-mole” to get fakes removed - How players are getting tricked by manipulated Google listings and fake reviews - The real impact on innovation, quality, and the future of the sport - What USAP and UPAA are (finally) preparing to do about it - Why $30 “bargain paddles” often cost you more in the long run Whether you're shopping for a holiday gift, worried about getting duped, or just fascinated by the business side of the game, this is one of our most informative deep dives yet.

In this episode, the world's #1 pickleball player, Ben Johns, joins Anders Varner, Doug Larson, Travis Mash, and Dr. Mike Lane to unpack what it really takes to stay at the top of one of the fastest-growing sports on the planet. Ben walks through the insane travel schedule, the perpetual in-season demands, and the growing physical toll of a sport played in deep athletic stances, high-velocity lateral movements, and multi-hour tournament days. For the past year, Ben has partnered with RAPID Health Optimization to build a data-driven system around sleep, recovery, hydration, nutrition, and personalized strength and conditioning giving him a competitive edge in a sport where consistency and longevity are becoming just as important as pure skill. The team breaks down how RAPID reverse-engineered the physiology of pickleball by analyzing metabolic demands, movement patterns, travel stress, and tournament structure. Ben shares what has changed the most: HRV-driven sleep routines, hydration and electrolyte protocols, rapid-turnaround nutrition systems during six-day competition blocks, and gym programming that prioritizes leg strength, acceleration, deceleration, rotational power, and the ability to repeatedly produce peak output with minimal fatigue. With only an eight-week "off-season" each year, Ben's entire training plan now revolves around precision dosing of fatigue, auto-regulation, and strategic recovery backed by data from Oura, lab analysis (blood, stool, saliva, urine) and the RAPID coaching team. Finally, the conversation moves into the strategic side of dominance: pattern recognition, the metagame of adjustments, and the ability to keep learning in a young sport where the rules of mastery are still being written. Ben explains how having a full-stack performance team allows him to focus on playing, developing new skills, and outlasting opponents who aren't managing sleep, travel, workload, or recovery with the same level of precision. If you want an inside look at how the best player in the world trains, prepares, and stays healthy and how RAPID Health Optimization builds elite longevity systems for professional athletes this episode is a must-listen.

THE BALLER LIFESTYLE PODCAST — EPISODE 603 Hosted by: Brian Beckner & Ed Daly Support the show: patreon.com/theballerlifestylepodcast FULL SHOW NOTES (APPLE PODCAST COMPREHENSIVE EDITION) Cold Open / Welcome Back Brian returns with Episode 603 of TBLS and immediately shouts out the Patreon crew—home of Bonus Bri, emotional sobriety updates, and all the private crying he refuses to do in public. Ed Daly joins and promptly delivers breaking news about an NFL player suspended for watching porn in a team meeting… at full volume. Chaos ensues. Thanksgiving Recap & Tea Talk Brian discovers green tea and is suddenly a Tea Guy. Ed forgets his tea entirely and feels betrayed. Listener debate begins: Should grown adults realistically be drinking gravy more than once a year? (The answer is apparently controversial.) ️ Woke Up Gay Again Mug Saga Brian receives a custom “Woke Up Gay Again” mug—plus his very own “gay card”—leading to: His daughter roasting him into dust. White pants discourse. Questions about whether the mug should be kept in his wallet for emergency resuscitation. ToeCutter strikes again. RIP Segment The boys honor (and roast) the deceased: Lynn Hamilton (Sanford & Son) Grandma the Galápagos Tortoise – lived 141 years, witnessed centuries of atrocities, said nothing. Randy Jones (Padres Cy Young winner, patron saint of 70s brown-and-yellow uniforms) Fuzzy Zoeller (apparently not 97 years old, though he looked it since 1997) ️ / Sports News Browns DL Shelby Harris calls 49ers WR Jauan Jennings a “hoe” And he clarifies it. Repeatedly. Patrick Beverley accused of punching and choking his teenage sister The guys discuss: Pat Bev's history of talking more than he plays The creepiness of men policing teenage girls' sex lives Whether Jay Stew thinks athletes should have podcasts (spoiler: he doesn't) Pickleball vs. Carmel, CA Carmel considers banning pickleball because it's “too noisy.” Brian rants about temporary courts, olds blowing Achilles tendons, and why tennis is superior. Drake Maye Spotted at His Girlfriend's Adult Cheer Competition Wait—adult cheer competitions? The guys spiral into: When activities should end What counts as “aging gracefully” The disturbing traditions of Texas A&M (midnight yell practice, dungarees, kick routines) Listener Voicemails & Mailbag Ben Astounded that Brian & Ed only consume gravy once a year. Matthew Richards Asks if Ed would peek at Hitler's infamous micro-penis if gifted a time machine. (Consensus: obviously yes.) Gfish Offers to file a complaint against Jay Stew's online bullies. Toe Cuttter Sends physical mail (!) including the mug and gay card, then demands: “Loudest Comer” rankings More show minutes A commitment to being “as gay as we want to be” Loudest Comer Power Rankings Chris Farley > John Belushi Dick Vitale > Harry Caray Air Bud Cinematic Universe: likely the evil clown, not Air Bud himself David Silver's mom (90210) receives an honorable mention Non-Sports: Weird News, Sexual Disasters & Political Horrors Hitler Micro-Penis Discourse Time travel urinal etiquette. Historical dick analysis. Rasputin's jar-encased hog. RFK Jr. Felching Poetry Scandal Brian & Ed read actual RFK sext-poems involving: “Harvests” “Canyons” “Don't spill a drop” Full-on National Institute of Health–certified felching definitions Listeners are begged to call in if they've ever actually felched (unlikely, but we're listening). UK Man Hospitalized After Eating 7 Pounds of Gummy Cola Bottles Relatable to a point. Then horrifying. Hugh Hefner reportedly drank 20 Pepsis a day + 3 lbs of M&Ms The true cause of Playboy longevity? Macaulay Culkin legally changes his middle name to Macaulay Culkin The poll results are honored. Italian Man Dresses as Dead Mother to Collect Pension Mrs. Doubtfire but make it mortifying. Smokey Robinson Accused of Forcing Strangers to Touch His Erection Brian plays tracks from GASMS, Smokey's actual album filled with sex songs to confirm: Yes, this man is capable of anything.

Pickleball's explosive growth has led to a surge in serious eye injuries, with emergency room cases increasing by 405 each year between 2021 and 2024 Most eye injuries occur in players over 50, whose slower reflexes and vision changes make them more vulnerable to high-speed impacts and falls The sport's modern paddles can launch balls over 60 miles per hour at the kitchen line — just 14 feet apart — leaving players less than half a second to react Despite the sharp rise in injuries, there are still no universal safety rules requiring protective eyewear in recreational or professional play Wearing shatterproof glasses, warming up, and improving balance are simple steps that protect your eyesight and keep pickleball fun, safe, and injury-free
