Thaddea Lock: Adventures in Pickleball
Listen now
Description
This episode shows what a wonderful adventure sport can bring you both on the court and off it! Thaddea Lock is the UK’s no.1 pickleball player and is enjoying a fantastic chapter in what is America’s fastest growing sport. I’d heard how pickleball is taking America by storm in the way The Beatles did in the 1960s. I knew from a work point of view that the ace TopspinPro pickleball version has received a very warm welcome in the community. If truth be told though I didn’t know too much about pickleball, what it is, why it is becoming so popular and whether there is a scene in the UK. Thanks to Thaddea, that has all changed! Thaddea has had an amazing journey in tennis and followed it up with a really exciting chapter in pickleball. I’m sure you’ll enjoy hearing all about it… Useful Links Please click the following link to find out about pickleball in England from Pickleball England: https://www.pickleballengland.org/ Do use this pickleball club locator on the Pickleball England website if you’d like to give the sport a try: https://www.pickleballengland.org/pickleball-club-locator-england/ And head to this link if you’d like to find out all about the new and ever so ace TopspinPro for Pickleball: https://topspinpro.com/pickleball-training-aid/ Finally, if you are looking for a Pickleball paddle please head over to our friends at PDHSports.com.
