Meet Janet. Pickleball enthusiast.
Janet never played racket sports before, but her neighbor told her one day to play pickleball. She tried it and loved it (who doesn’t). Soon she signed up as a member at Palm Aire and played with some much better players who told her to find something else to do. But she stayed with it and at the end of the summer she received the MOST IMPROVED award.
From Omaha, Nebraska, she moved down to Florida in 1984. Janet didn’t have time to play sports because she worked back then, but now she lives in Mote Ranch and plays at least 3 days a week. I ran into her at Longwood Park.
Her advice is…Do not be intimidated by better players, but also you don’t want to ruin their game. Find a good in between and stick with it.
