Episode 145: The Ceiling

This week, we take you behind the scenes of our latest English Open warm-up tournament, from hotel dramas and perfect hash browns to the highs, frustrations and unexpected twists that unfolded on court. It’s a fun, honest and sometimes emotional episode, packed with laughs, banter and serious discussion about competition, limited court time, tournament organisation and the mental side of pickleball. We also share helpful advice on preparing your tournament bag, warming up, playing with a new partner and handling the challenges of major tournaments.
