SEEing Change in Women's Paddle with Special Guest Macie Elliott
A rising sport, a three-time champion, and a community that turns winter into a season of possibility—this conversation with Macie Elliott is a masterclass in how paddle tennis blends strategy, resilience, and partnership.
Join Annie as she talk through Macie's early roots playing tennis with her family in Evansville, Indiana, to her Division 1 tennis career at SMU and into paddle, where she has found the sweet spot where the screens rewrite shot selection and patience outplays power.
We delve into the mental side of the game and how racquet sports build resilience and determination. You'll love her take on accountability and composure—and her habit of reflection and adjustment. Strategy fans get a window into patterns, tempo shifts, and why the screens create both more strengths and more weaknesses to exploit.
We also face the access question head-on. Paddle’s reputation as a country club sport isn’t about culture, it’s about cost. Macie points to public facilities like Cleveland’s model, youth clinics, streaming, and regional camps as the levers that can expand the map across the colder half of the country.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or screen-curious, you’ll leave with tools for better shot choices, stronger partnerships, and a steadier mind under pressure. Join us at Canoe Brook March 6–8, cheer on the women’s draw, and help grow the game. If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share with your team, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.
