May started out in Charlotte, NC, which is a town that I really like. The tournament could’ve gone better for me and my partners, Etta and Spencer, but I still enjoyed the time there. The following weekend I headed to Dallas to participate in the Donald Driver Foundation’s Pickleball tournament and fundraiser. It was awesome to meet the Packers legend who has to be the most down-to-earth celebrity I’ve ever met. The Donald Driver Foundation serves underprivileged youth and believes in offering a hand-up, not a hand-out. Check it out here!
Murray turned 3 years old this month! We threw him a birthday party, but he must not have liked his presents very much because he promptly destroyed them all. Next was Atlanta, another town that I love. I got to spend some time with the Pickle and Social crew and a few old friends
Jenny and I did our engagement photos at the Sage Hill Inn & Spa, which is one of our favorite places to relax. They have four pickleball courts which we stayed far away from, haha!
Finally, my parents came to town and we got to spend Memorial Day weekend together. This was their first time coming to Austin, so we made sure that they did it in style and gifted them a stay at Sage Hill as well! We played some pickle, got some great food, and enjoyed catching up!
ProXR and I teamed up to revamp the Zane Navratil Signature paddle to appeal to a wider audience. Introducing our “Big Face” Zane Navratil paddle: “The Standard”.
- Equipped with a generously enlarged paddle face, “The Standard” is meticulously crafted to cater to the standard pickleball player’s needs.
- This upgraded paddle offers a more standard 16 x 8 shape with a 5-inch grip and the shape maximizes the sweet spot while maintaining the unparalleled spin.
- Available in both 14mm and 16mm thickness.
Unleash your game with the ultimate upgraded paddle. Check it out here and try it risk free for 30 days!
We’re also offering lightly used (by me) paddles. These paddles have my overgrips and may have lead tape on them as well. They’re the exact paddles that I played with, and I’m happy to sign them! Of course, we have new ones available as well! Purchase yours on my website!
Well, I officially have a documentary made about me by my friend over at the Pickleball Studio. The documentary follows me and team BLQK en route to our victory in Columbus, OH in October of 2022.
Definitely worth a watch!
This book was suggested by my friend Chris! Essentialism is the disciplined pursuit of less. In today’s day and age, we are applauded for doing more and more. I noticed myself taking on more projects than feasible. While we might be making progress in several different areas, it’s less efficient than focused work.
Essentialism suggested ways to identify what is truly important and eliminate time wasters. More than anything, Essentialism is about learning to say no to the things that don’t bring joy. At first, it will be hard and people might be irritated, but eventually people will respect your boundaries and learn to work with them.
