Pickleball, Padel, and a Little Bit of Life

Hey friends, been a minute!

Since my last email, I had a work trip to Cancun, had a great weekend visit from my dad, and have been locked in on creating content for both pickleball and padel.

Also, I finally updated my vision board. I know, I know—sounds cheesy. But looking at it daily helps me stay locked in on what matters most. Highly recommend.

Am I Cheating on Pickleball?

Some folks have asked if I feel like I’m betraying pickleball by diving deeper into padel. The answer? Nope.

I love both games for different reasons. Padel brings me back to my tennis days—the angles, the touch, the walls (which, yes, I still sometimes forget I can use). Pickleball? That’s where the community shines. The sport creates instant connections—small courts, easy convos, and a game anyone can jump into.

I’m grateful to be in Austin, where I can build relationships through pickleball and bring my content experience to padel’s global growth.

Encouragement Corner

Not sure where your head’s at right now. If you’re in a great spot—keep pushing! If not, that’s okay too. We all hit those moments. My advice? Rest. Pray. Embrace quiet time. You have more in you than you realize.

And remember—success isn’t just about titles, money, or a corner office. It’s being a great parent, a good friend, staying healthy, and making small impacts daily.

Let’s Keep It Moving!

Big week ahead—content to create, games to play, and life to live. Stay locked in, stay encouraged, and I’ll see you soon!

Hit reply and let me know—what’s one thing you’re working on right now? Would love to hear!

Until next time,
Bryant
