The PicklePod is back with one of our most jam-packed episodes ever.
š MLP Dallas shattered attendance records and delivered wall-to-wall chaos. The LA Mad Drops made their controversial debut⦠and immediately got swept. The Shock are rolling, Dreambreakers were electric, and Kate Fahey might be the most polarizing player in pro pickleball right now.
š° Then, we talk to Lydia Hirt, VP of Marketing at Lifetime, about the $250,000 Lifetime Open ā the first-ever singles-only pro pickleball tournament. Sideout scoring. Best of 5. Open to every top player in the world. ESPN2 coverage. This could be the future of singles pickleball.
šŗš¦ And finally, Aaron Trost joins the pod after spending two weeks in Ukraine, bringing pickleball to wounded soldiers and growing the game in war-torn communities. This is one of the most powerful stories we've ever told on the pod.
