The thing about sports - the thing that draws me back and make me realize I can’t live without it, is I’m addicted to GROWTH and making PROGRESS🌱

Playing sports is when I feel the MOST ALIVE✨

Padel is a game where I can work both my body and mind💪🏽🧠The perfect combination. I say, it’s like playing chess with my body, while sweating♟️💦(and I mean, what more can we want? If you feel the same, ❤️this post🔥 and/or COMMENT below👇🏽)

So grateful to find pickleball and consequently led me to discover padel. 🇺🇸🇲🇽 Can’t wait to go courtside around our small small world to continue to improve my craft, while exchanging wits and sweats with you all!🗺️

Join me courtside? 🎾💚

When I first experienced a life-changing sports injury, I almost gave up on life. Put on ton of weight, lost the desire to continue to PUSH and smile in life.. suffered from depression, lost motivation completely, felt lost. Through some twists and turns (and with lots of help from loved ones and strangers that came into my life), I gained back my strength and positivity, and looking back on the 15+ years journey now, I’m so grateful for everything that had happened, the ups and the DOWNS (especially the DOWNS). I’m so grateful I didn’t give up, so grateful for the ones that didn’t give up on me. And forever grateful for sports, ALL THE SPORTS that I got to try, especially the ones that stuck, and made me who I am today.

Keep pushing, keep sporting, keep sweating, keep living, and never NEVER give up💪🏽🔥☀️

WHO AM I?

I’ve been dreaming of spreading the positive sporty and sweaty vibes all around our small small world since a young age💦💪🏽☀️✈️

My dream is and has always been to allow the youth to experience the magic of sports, where they can go to FEEL ALIVE, where they feel like they BELONG✨🙏🏽 Like sports and playing all types of sports since I was at a young age has given me — a TRUE belonging, a calling, a PURPOSE, and a lifelong PASSION❤️‍🔥

Forever grateful to have grown up in a sporty family and environment (to be allowed to skip class to play sports and perhaps even ENCOURAGED to🤭), surrounded with kindred spirits with the same growth-mindset and same Hearts. Super thankful to be in the vicinity of top athletes, to have the opportunity to learn from the best. Sport has given me my whole life and I’m fortunate to have found my life purpose of making our world a better place through sports🌏🫶🏽

BEYOND THANKFUL for the lessons learnt on and off the courts/ sports fields.

Like the great Nelson Mandela has more than once said: “Sports has the power to change the world.” And that’s been my life mission since I could recall.

Are you with me?✨

Baie Dankie to each one of you who I had the pleasure of pickling with and learn from ✨🥒💛
(Pickling at this high an altitude took some getting used to for someone coming from sea level🤭)

Such a beautiful country filled with genuine souls and sporty vibes💪🏽☀️ thank you for making me feel at home💚🇿🇦

Looking forward to pickling and/or playing padel together again somewhere in this world🌍🌏🌎

Pushing my own limits believing that THE SKY IS THE LIMIT has always been in my DNA since a very young age.

So, after injuries over injuries, I’m still working at it. Pushing my own limits while trying to balance the flexibility and strength. Finding the yin and the yang. ☯️💪🏽✨

Who else is addicted to pushing your own limits and just can’t stop and won’t stop? The older, the fitter 🔥💪🏽❤️ NEVER GIVE UP.

Pick up a new sport, new hobby, new passion. Pursue your dreams. Dream BIG. Fail forward. Learn. Enjoy the lessons. Don’t let the world tell you otherwise.

For all my life, I’ve been a Dreamer. And I’ve always stayed REAL. As real as I could be in each stage of my life. I’ve always BELIEVED that if I just put my mind to something, I will eventually achieve whatever it is that I believed in.

After lots of ups and downs, and a lot of 🍋 life has given me, I’ve stayed hopeful.

Pickleball has given me hope. Pickleball gives me hope. And now I hope it helps give YOU hope too.

If you feel the same, SHARE this video with a friend. Shower them with some HOPE, too. ✨

Pickleball in South Africa did not dissappoint. Pickleball in Africa is just beginning, but it’s not slowing down and slowly taking over Africa 🔥☀️🥒💪🏽🌍

Pickleball has stole my Heart a few years back and South Africa has joined in in taking a piece of my Heart with it ❤️‍🔥🥒💛💚🇿🇦

Baie dankie❤️

Have you tried pickling in South Africa? Hop on a plane and go play!✈️🇿🇦🥒

PADEL MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE.

Cannot describe the feeling being out there on the courts be it with strangers or the padel-strong community (the addicts or addicts-to-be), who may have started as strangers but eventually (if not instantly for some) become your best friends✨

WHAT MAKES YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS BEAUTIFUL SPORT?
