Have You Joined The Pickleball Lifestyle?


What do you mean "lifestyle?"

I thought pickleball was a sport.

The reality is that pickleball is so much more than just a sport.

It truly has become a lifestyle!

Have you joined?

Here are some questions to answer.

Since you started playing pickleball . . .

 1.  Do you devote several hours per week to play?

 2.  Do you have different friends now?

 3.  Do you spend your money differently now?

 4.  Have you joined a pickleball club?

 5.  Do you watch Pickleball TV?

 6.  Have you played in a pickleball tournament?

 7.  Have you attended a professional pickleball tournament?

 8.  Do you take different vacations now?

 9.  Do you socialize differently now?

 10. Do you frequently shop for pickleball clothing and shoes?

 11.  Do you now subscribe to a pickleball email?  (Thank you!!)

 12.  Do you scroll different social media sites and YouTube channels now?


If you answered "Yes" to at least 6 of those 12 questions . . .

Congratulations!!

You have joined the pickleball lifestyle!

My wife and I have definitely joined the lifestyle.

We talk about pickleball frequently - strategies, games, opponents, strengths, weaknesses, goals for improvement, etc.

We play at least 3 times per week for two to three hours each time.

We play with a group of people we did not know prior to playing pickleball and probably would not have known otherwise.

We play pickleball tournaments.

We have attended professional pickleball tournaments.

We spend our money differently.

We purchase new pickleball shoes every 3-4 months to replace the previous ones with the worn out soles.

We have each purchased several paddles over the past 3 years.

We buy Ben-gay, Advil, Unkers, Gatorade, protein bars, etc., and use them frequently.

We have purchased shoe inserts, pickleball clothes, overgrips, new balls, water bottles, etc.

My wife sews quite well and recently sewed her own pickleball bag which has been the envy of many. 

We joined a local pickleball club.

We frequently watch pickleball coaching videos online.

We watch Pickleball TV often. And if we can't watch the tournaments live, we watch the replays.

We get together with a group of pickleball players, who have become our friends, each year for a pickleball Christmas party!

And I even started this business, Pickleball Living, as a result of having "joined" the pickleball lifestyle!

Now, what about you?

Have you joined the pickleball lifestyle?

I recommend it!!
