  • PB Podcast?

    Yeah, I was skeptical. Don’t you need to SEE it to know what they’re talking about? Turns out you don’t. The hosts are very descriptive and if you have any experience on the court you can follow along and learn from this. Don’t be fooled by the title either. I’m nowhere near a 4.0 and I’m getting a ton of good and usable tips here.

  • GOAT pickleball podcast

    Listening to this podcast is the next best thing to being on the Pickleball court. It is the equivalent of taking a lesson when you’re off the courts and then applying what you learn the next time you play. What a gift. Thank you Michael and Mircea!
