Episode 4. Let’s talk. Communication!
How you play the game. A podcast about pickleball and entrepreneurship.
06/13/23 • 39 min
This week, Danielle and Briar talk about how we talk to each other in our pickleball games. Danielle is playing in a tournament and getting ready by taking a lesson, practicing, drilling, playing. Briar has read interesting materials on professional tennis player communication with winning and losing teams, patterns of communication, and the differences between rec and competitive play. Are the ways we talk to each other the same or different. What about between men and women? What words can we use. Does everyone want to talk in a game?
How do you keep yourself from getting into a funk during a game when mistakes are made. Keeping your spirits up is not as easy as you need it to be.
What about co-workers or employees who aren't as responsive at taking criticism, how do you work with them and get everyone on the same page.
Figure out your court language!

Friendship
How you play the game. A podcast about pickleball and entrepreneurship.
03/12/24 • 36 min
This week we are talking about friendship. Seems like a broad topic. Why is friendship different in pickleball than in any other sport. It may not be any different but we think pickleball promotes friendship more broadly, more easily.
It is how we met, and it is how I met others after moving to this community a couple of years ago.
Let’s talk about how friendship is interwoven in pickleball

Injuries and preventing them!
How you play the game. A podcast about pickleball and entrepreneurship.
01/02/24 • 43 min
No one wants to talk about this but just like every other sport, it is a thing. It can happen. And more and more people are playing pickleball so naturally, injury will be and is on the rise as well.
Most people think pickleball is a low-impact sport - not too much running, not like lifting weights, playing rugby or football.....but still - strains, shoulders, elbows, knees, ankle injuries abound.
Pickleball is full of quick lateral movements, sudden stops, reaching up quickly for that overhead slam. Briar and Danielle talk about the kinds of injuries pickleballers get and what you can do to prevent them.

11/23/23 • 34 min
What does it mean to support each other in pickleball? Briar and Danielle chat about the amazing community of women that are playing the game, both recreationally and competitively. We see each other on the court playing with and against each other. How important is it that we support each other no matter what side of the court we are on? In Abbie Wambach 's words from her book, the Wolfpack, "if we keep playing by the old rules, we will never change the game."

Episode 10. Ebbs and Flows of the Game.
How you play the game. A podcast about pickleball and entrepreneurship.
07/25/23 • 36 min
Sometimes you feel discombobulated. Out of the groove of working out, playing regularly, having good games. You wonder why you played so well last week and this week not a ball is in the court! Sometimes things throw you off, things come up good and bad. At one point, Danielle wondered if going to Canadian Nationals was going to come unraveled.
Then you get back in play, you work hard, work at it and it comes together. It's ebbs and flows. They happen in pickleball, they happen in life.
