Overview

"""Pickleball Diaries: My Journey (Close) to the Top"" is a refreshing and light-hearted story of an aspiring athlete and pickleball player who made the transition to pickleball pro and the journeys along the way. Growing up in Bloomfield, a tough neighborhood within the city of Pittsburgh, Michael learned sports early. Throughout his youth and young adulthood, sports continued to be a part of Michael's life. Eventually, Michael transitioned from baseball and football to semi-professional boxing and open level racquetball. As pickleball surged throughout the United States, Michael switched to pickleball and went from 3.0 novice to professional over a few years. This book chronicles the challenges along the way and the dedication and perseverance needed to succeed. ""I thought nice guys were supposed to finish last and here Michael is turning pro and challenging the best in the sport while to double to age of the top singles players on tour. This book gives you insight to why everywhere he goes Michael is welcomed and leaves with a few new friends. It's hard to read just a few pages and not find yourself rooting for the guy. I found a good part of me relating to Michael and his journey as I turned the pages. This isn't just a pickleball book-it's a book about enjoying life and making the most of an opportunity."" -JOSH JENKINS run Josh J Pickleball, is a Joola Pro, and author of Pickleball with Pop"
