  • Love it! We all have a pickleball origin story!

    I really love Nikki and Mari’s first episode to their new podcast. They are funny, utilize great storytelling, and connect with the 99% of us not in the pros. They share their pickleball origin stories and this made me think about how I got into pickleball and how much it has changed my life. Great work Nikki and Mari! I will be listening to all the episodes coming in the future and love how invitational your podcast is in welcoming us into the world of pickleball joy.
