Today’s podcast is with our friend, Joan Pollard. We know her as a friend and amazing pickleball player but also when you get into a medal round, it might be Joan that is the referee. Joan travels far and wide to referee games and she’s well respected in that community and the pickleball community in general.

Today’s topic is - obviously Joan is a referee - but what is the mind of a referee? What kind of person makes a good one? Someone who is organized, maybe a take charge personality, ability to be non emotional at game times? Listen to this podcast to find out.

Briar and Danielle dive into the stories of three generations of pickleballers, in one family, who recently made us all proud by medaling at the Canadian Nationals. Since then, the three of them have medaled in what seems like every tournament!

Let’s take this in - 3 generations….Grandmother, her daughter, her grandson. Wow. Incredible.

One of the great themes of this podcast is that Tara and Cole, who are high level players say they play with anyone who wants to play because they love the game.

Let's hear what they have to say.
