Is Pro Pickleball (at least the UPA, aka MLP & PPA) a house of cards ready to fall? They've burned through the cash from their "$75 million" blockbuster merger just 10 months ago, and a bridge loan of $10mm is needed by January 15 for the entity to meet its obligations. What does this means for team owners, investors and shareholders (like Jill) and will we see a repeat of salary wars in 1.5 years when player contracts come up? Jill & Kristin also catch you up on all things "Paddlegate 5.0" and the "Paddle Mafia Fees" the UPA is attempting to collect from paddle companies. The girls also take you through 7 life changing pickleball lessons Jill gave Kristin in 2024 that will undoubtedly help your game, too. Finally, J&K go over some incredible SFIA year end data for pickleball and end with a recap on how they did in their "2024 players to watch" predictions. Next podcast they reveal their 2025 players to watch.

From CEO to National Champ in 2 years, Jill breaks down every match from Nationals (Gold and Bronze!) and explains how she broke the 3 Game Curse. Plus, we interview the International King Pin Himself, Pranav Kohli, CEO of PWR (Pickleball World Rankings). Find out exactly what's in store for 2025 on the international scene and the unique obstacles to bringing the sport to the billions in Asia. Can you guess how much he's trying to charge for a pickleball paddle? Also, oracle prediction: Tour Wars Part III: UPA vs PWR.
