Russ Johnson and Deb Cohen’s pickleball journey began with Pickleball Citi, a smaller club that gave them the experience and insight to dream bigger. After selling their first facility, they’re taking everything they learned and putting it into Rally Haus Sports, a much larger, community-focused pickleball destination coming this winter. We talk about how their backgrounds in higher education and golf led them to pickleball, the lessons they learned from their first club, why they decided to make a bigger bet on the sport, the challenges of opening a new facility, and their vision for creating a welcoming community built around competition, connection, and friendship. Russ and Deb also share how pickleball has impacted their lives and their advice for anyone looking to build a club of their own. Like the page if you like what you're listening to.
