At times, when we truly grasp the joy of discovering pickleball, we must pause to count our blessings and recognize that, in many ways, pickleball is indeed a gift.
For many who have reached 'the age' or are fast approaching it, pickleball has brought revitalization. The hope of ever engaging in a sport again seemed lost. Yet, here we are—returning serves, mastering dink shots (a term once foreign to us), and celebrating with friends at the net, all with a renewed passion for competition.
Whether in small groups or large gatherings numbering in the hundreds, pickleball fosters friendships. Reflect on the dear friends you’ve made since you started playing. Isn't it amazing? Equally important, pickleball creates social opportunities. These opportunities bring daily optimism, encouraging us to play better, not let our partners down, and perhaps meet new friends.
Sure, there are some aches and pains—that's part of staying active at any age. On the flip side, how wonderful is it that grandparents can teach their grandchildren a sport perhaps unfamiliar to their own children? This is the gift of pickleball, keeping us strong and vibrant each time we step onto the court.
We all recognize the curious looks when someone asks, "What's pickleball?" From now on, let's proudly respond, "Pickleball is a gift." It’s a gift that fills our lives with joy, and it can do the same for others if they just give it a try.
