Patty and I had the privilege this morning to meet up-and-coming PPA stars Valerie and Victoria Simon (originally from New York, but now residing in Wesley Chapel, Florida). Valerie has an amazing story, and has founded a nonprofit called Serve For Strength (https://serveforstrength.org/), dedicated to helping children with long recoveries ahead of them find hope and healing through supporting world-class medical teams and affiliated organizations. We will be dedicating one of our upcoming Pickleball Group Trips to this cause, and these two extraordinary young women and a few of their PPA friends and coaches will be leading the pickleball events for the week. Stay tuned for more info . . .
The girls were kind enough to team up with me and another young man for a quick game at their home courts in Tampa. Real quick, actually, although, for the record, my team somehow managed to score 4 points. I may or may not have heard one of them whisper "don't quit your day job."
