Last summer, pickleball was blowing up my timeline and rightfully so; it’s the fastest-growing sport. I quickly learned those that work professionally in the sport are some of the kindest and hardest-working individuals that bring this incredibly fun sport to scale. Talk about the sport is everywhere, by every age group, and it's because of how accessible it is. Heck, even my father-in-law is now taking lessons! Getting to work with the Association of Pickleball Players' CMO Tom Webb and his team last summer and fall as they polished off a successful 2023 tour was immensely rewarding for me. I got to broaden my scope, apply my skillset and get to work with people who were more than willing to explain the game to a newbie with the patience I could only wish to have!

Brokerage is often compared to athletics. I watched the worlds best Pickleball players today. Here are my takeaways that can be easily applied to our business. 1. Keep it simple, back to the basics. 1. Keep your eye on the ball. 1.No need for emotion. (Good or bad). 1. Stay in the zone and block out the chatter. 1. You will not win every point. Move quickly to advance to the next deal/point. 1. It’s important to know when to slow it down versus speeding up the process. What do you think?
