Sundays and Mondays are now fun days

What 's up, folks! Welcome to Picklewho, the number one Pickleball news source according to the worldwide renown and respected TIME magazine (disclaimer: Time magazine legally obliges us to deny the veracity of this information).

Let's take a look at the latest happenings in the Pickleball universe:

•  Pickleball influencers have entered the game

• Sundays and Mondays are now fun days

• Meet Pickleball’s national media hero

Pickleball has its own influencers already

Sports, religion, relationships, my parents divorce… Influencers are everywhere! (I mean, really, EVERYWHERE) and Pickleball is no exception.

One example is Michele thepickleyogi, an award-winning Pickleball player who uses social media to promote both the sport and her own brand of paddles. Very nice paddles if you ask me and no, she never paid me to say this…

I think I speak for everyone when I say that social media is awesome and especially great for mental health among people of all ages. There is nothing better and funnier than a good influencer. And I reiterate, no one has paid me a single penny to speak nice words about these wonderful, popular, good looking and charitable people.

What do you think about that, money? I MEAN, fellas.

Sundays and Mondays are now match days and fun days

Washington takes Pickleball seriously. How much? Well, Pickleball is the state’s official sport, their flag now has a paddle and I even heard that Pickleball itself is running for election as the future governor of the state. Don’t Google that, they are lying.

Ok what’s actually true is that the new Westside Pickleball League, which has more than 100 players of all ages, has chosen Sundays and Mondays to play its games. As the Bible says,  God created the world in 6 days and on the 7th he played Pickleball.

This guy is a true Pickleball hero

After studying finance in college, working in investment banking for 3 years, and leading sales for a NYCy startup, Thomas Shields built himself a real, honorable job.

Shields met the sport and fell in love with it immediately. So, he decided to found The Dink, our nation’s second most popular Pickleball outlet. We are first, but don’t look it up.

For a while he drove across America playing pickleball, interviewing top pros, filming and writing about the full experience. His pursuit quickly turned into a top media outlet with includes a blog, two podcasts, merchandising, media partnerships and steady advertisers.

The man was already living the dream and now he gave birth to Upswing Sports, a media platform specialized in the emerging sports market. It seems to be quite profitable as Shields has received tons of offers to acquire the company, yet has rejected everyone of them.

The man sure has confidence. In fact, he has so much of it he actually gave Jamie Foxx unsolicited feedback on his pickleball techniques. Yes, you read it right. The man is nor only propelling Pickleball to new heights, he also mansplained Django.

Legend.
