What happens when pickleball chaos meets global expansion? 🌎
This week on the PicklePod, we’re joined by Steve Kuhn for a deep dive into what might be the future of pickleball—and it’s happening in Asia.
We cover everything from:
- The INSANE wind conditions at the PPA Texas Open 🌪️
- The first-ever triple pickle in pro history (yes… 11-0, 0-11, 11-0 🤯)
- Whether pickleball should go fully indoor like basketball
- The explosive growth of pickleball in the Philippines, Vietnam, and beyond
Steve Kuhn’s new Pickleball Champions League (PCL) and why it could change everything
A wild new concept: predicting sports like a game (SportsPredict)
Plus, Nico announces his Lefty Reset Challenge—a 60-day transformation to prove pickleball players are athletes 💪
This episode is equal parts chaos, insight, and big-picture thinking for where the sport is headed next.
