Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and some of us are growing into it faster than others. If any of these sound familiar, welcome. You’re one of us.
- Your warm-up takes longer than the actual game.
- You own more paddles than pairs of dress shoes.
- You’ve said “that was in” with total confidence and absolutely no evidence.
- Your knee brace has a favorite side of the court.
- You plan doctor’s appointments around open play.
- You know every pickleball player’s name at the club, but still call your grandkids by the dog’s name.
- You’ve yelled “kitchen!” at someone standing in your actual kitchen.
- The only thing you dink harder than the ball is your morning coffee.
- You call a nap after pickleball “active recovery.”
- Your idea of trash talk is “nice shot, dear.”
