APP Columbus Recap 🥇🥈🥈
APP Columbus — that was a good one.
Jaime Oncins and I battled our way to GOLD in Senior Mixed 🥇 and Angela Simon and I came away with SILVER in Senior Women’s Doubles 🥈.
The senior draws may have been small, but they were absolutely stacked. No easy matches, no freebies, and I LOVE seeing the talent and level of play continuing to rise. Some seriously good pickleball and some seriously fun battles out there.
A huge thank you to The James at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center for sponsoring the event and helping make the weekend possible. Pretty special to compete at an event backed by an organization doing such important work.
Then I got to swap player mode for coach mode and coach Angela through her 3.5/4.0 doubles draw.
She and Carrie took SILVER 🥈 — upgrading last year’s bronze, so apparently we’re trending in the right direction. 😂
It was also so good catching up with our good friends Alli and Ike — even if they had the audacity to beat Angela and Carrie in the final. Apparently friendship has boundaries. 😂
Was coaching Angela fun? Yes.
Was it possibly more stressful than playing my own matches? Also yes.
But I love that we get to do this together — compete, coach, travel, celebrate the wins, learn from the losses and occasionally test the strength of our relationship from opposite sides of a pickleball fence. 😂
Sadly, no conservation or wildlife detours on this trip. Angela has to head back and take care of some business, while I’m staying in Columbus for a few more days to teach some clinics before jumping straight back into competition mode for MLP/CSP this coming weekend.
So Columbus… apparently I live here now. 😂
Great battles. Great people. Great weekend.
And we’re not done yet. 💛

Thank you to the APP Tour all the refs and volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen.

And of course my sponsors for believing in me, this sport and this journey. Bc without you it would not be possible!!!

10 days.
We’ve been building something behind the scenes for months.
Something different.
Something designed for women who refuse to settle for “good enough.”
If you’ve ever wished someone would teach the why, not just the what...
If you’ve ever wanted to play with more confidence, more purpose, and more joy...
Stay close.
This is only the beginning.

There’s a version of every woman on this list who almost didn’t start. Too old, she thought. Too late, she thought. Wrong body, wrong knees, wrong decade.
She started anyway.
The 40+ women in our Academy aren’t proving anything to the girls half their age. They’re proving something to the version of themselves who almost didn’t show up.
If you’re still asking whether it’s too late, that’s your answer.

We did something the other night we all hadn’t done in a while and by a while I mean decades! — we went for a walk around the neighborhood and crashed the neighborhood children’s driveway pickup basketball game—- for a moment we were a lol transported back in time. Laughter, being present and playing till the street lights came on! And on the way back we ran through front gardens chasing fireflies!!!

If your reputation requires someone else’s work to sustain it, that’s not a reputation.
It’s a costume.
Give credit where credit is due.
It’s free.
It’s easy.
And the fact that some people still won’t do it tells you everything you need to know about them!
