My name is Jason and I'm one of the founders of The Kitchen. I was thinking the other day about what a nuanced and wonderful sport Pickleball is; about how much I've learned about the sport since the first time I stepped out on the court. 

My son is colorblind. He simply cannot see certain colors. Browns and reds and greens get rewired in his brain and he is delivered different shades of gray. His brothers still can’t believe that he can’t decipher the obvious hues they have the ability to see so clearly.

A similar thing happens in Pickleball. The more you play, the more you can see. To the amateur eye, it looks like a big game of ping pong, just hitting the ball back and forth. But as you learn about the sport, the strategies, the shot selections, you begin to witness an entirely different sport than the one you were watching just a few weeks before.

This discovery continues along your journey to master this sport. It is why I love watching the professionals of this sport play their game. As I continue to learn, not only do things that I have never noticed appear to me as I watch, but I see the evolution of the game unfold right before my eyes. Better athletes are joining from different sports, new strategies and techniques are being formed and the landscape seems to change by the day.

We are at an exciting point in the evolution of Pickleball and this is precisely why we created The Kitchen. Join us in The Kitchen if you are as infatuated or intrigued with the game of Pickleball as we are!
