Pickleball Obsession Grows
4 days on the court. Strategy deep dives. Real estate deals still closed. Let’s go.
I’m in deep.
This week, I hit the court 4 times.
And I’m not talking about just showing up.
I’m watching strategy breakdowns like it’s game film.
I’m getting to the court early to stretch, warm up, and lock in.
I’m learning rules and tactics that three weeks ago might as well have been quantum physics.
This game has me hooked…
and this week, it showed.
🥇 Twice for league play.
Session 1: I landed right in the middle of the court.
We were only a few points from taking it.
It was tight. It was sweaty. It was war.
Session 2: I walked off with a perfect score.
Didn’t drop a game.
Didn’t even realize it until I saw the sheet and thought
Wait… what?!
🎯 Midweek hit different.
Night session with Blair, Morn, and Kim.
You already know how I feel about Blair and Morn…
what they’ve done for my game and the fast friendship we’ve built.
But Kim?
She won first place in one of the RARA leagues last spring.
Back then, I was just a sub.
But this week, she treated me like I belonged.
She gave me tips.
Encouragement.
And then she dropped this on me:
Never lose your head…only worry about the next point."— Kim
That one’s staying with me for a long time.
🧠 And then there was Thursday.
My first open play.
(Full Drop coming soon on that night.)
But here’s the preview:
I was humbled.
By the players.
By the pace.
By the invitation from Blair and Morn.
I may have learned more that night than in all my league sessions combined…(at least something different)
💼 And here’s the kicker…
Even with all this?
✅ I closed deals.
✅ I coached clients.
✅ I stayed in the game off the court too.
This doesn’t work unless your calendar works.
Systems. Discipline. Structure.
That’s how I make room to do both.
I didn’t try to fit pickleball into my life.
I built my life to include it.
🟢Want to hit the court or talk real estate — I'm game.🏡
Pick the court or the coffee shop. I’m good with both.
