🎙️Mike and Christana are back with a high-energy catch-up episode diving into everything happening in the world of pickleball right now. From the massive rise in pro player payouts to the continued dominance of world #1 Anna Leigh Waters, the sport is evolving faster than ever.

You can’t talk pickleball without mentioning Kyle Yates—a seasoned pro who’s been competing at the highest level and helping shape the sport for years

They break down what these increasing earnings mean for the future of professional pickleball and how it’s attracting more elite athletes to the game.

Locally, they preview upcoming tournaments and buzz surrounding the Denver Iconics and upcoming tournaments ran by Denver Pickleball Club, Deven Gould, highlighting why Colorado continues to be a hotspot for the sport.

The episode also touches on an important (and often overlooked) topic: eye injuries in pickleball, especially among older players. Why is this happening, and what should players be doing to protect themselves?

Plus, they dive into the controversial DUPR reset-what it is, why there’s a limited window to act, and how it could impact your rating moving forward.

Whether you’re a casual player or deep into the competitive scene, this episode keeps you informed, entertained, and ahead of the curve in the ever-changing world of pickleball.
