EP 958 Pickleball is All the Rage in America

When one of your friends tells you that pickleball is now the all-consuming passion in their life, what do you say?  Every day, thousands and thousands more people pick up a paddle and get hooked on the fastest growing sport in the land. What’s all the fuss about?  As a long-time tennis guy, I had to find out so I turned to Clare Frank, former firefighter turned pickleball obsessive.  She is the author of the new book, “Just One More Game.”  In it she describes why she’s fallen in love with the sport, its many health benefits, the types of players you will meet when you wander onto a court, the gear you’ll need, the injuries you should try to avoid and the hold it will have on your life.  We also discuss the growing sense that this sport may one day become part of the Olympics as its unfettered rise, among all age groups, continues.
