Back from a hiatus, we give our recount of giving tournaments one last go in 2023....with surprisingly awesome results!

We go through our small & large (to us!) victories in our continued journey together and detail our recent membership to Victory Pickleball in Northern Illinois.

We discuss recent travels, pickleball adventures, and relationship challenges, pontificating on both the ups & the downs of each, and how they all weave together in our daily lives.

We spend some time recapping our role as pickleball tournament directors, detailing the highs and lows of running such an event.

In this episode, we get back on the winning pickleball track (yay!) and recount how we use the title of this episode as a mantra to help move the needle both on the courts & off.

Tim Bremel, radio personality on WCLO in Janesville, had us on to talk about pickleball and detail our upcoming 2023 Firecracker Classic tournament on July 1, 2023.

We debrief on a couple of challenging weeks, not seeing the results we want both in life and in pickleball. One step forward & two steps back.

Lisa & Craig talk through how they're playing their cards in life, focusing on pickleball, their relationship, & parenting.....and how it ALL weaves together. We're finding small epiphanies in these episodes!......today's was re-aligning our individual personality strengths/expectations to all three proverbial decks of cards (hint: we were failing at that in some areas).

Lisa & Craig talk about how they're re-directing their focus in 2023, both in pickleball and in their relationship....trying to narrow down to the really important stuff, and being more intentional with their choices going forward.

We finish our introductions & explain our intended format for this podcast, and get into what we look forward to in 2023.

Hello World!! The first episode of our burgeoning podcast. Apologies for the audio shifts; we're no experts and, like life itself, figuring out things as we go. We promise to improve, if you promise to stick with us. We will discuss all things marriage, parenting a blended family, little adventures through life, & of course our love of pickleball (tournaments, tactics, relevance to the real world).
