Smashing Plastic Podcast - Featuring Leonard Fox
Welcome back to the Smashing Plastic Podcast! This episode, we sit down with our good friend Leonard Fox, who started his pickleball journey way back in 2017—before the sport exploded! Leonard shares how he stumbled into the game at a local rec center, got schooled by some older players, and became obsessed with getting better. He talks about his dedication to training, the evolution of pickleball, and how the sport changed his life—including a major weight loss transformation.
Topics we cover:
✅ Getting hooked on pickleball back in 2017
✅ Learning from the OG Charleston players

✅ Smashing his way into tournaments (literally!)
✅ Diversity in pickleball & the sport’s future
