We’ve hit the big 4-0! In this 40th episode of Sweet Lobs, we slow down just a bit—not to take our foot off the gas, but to reflect and refine. As we wrap up our first year, we revisit some of the key conversations that have shaped our journey: what’s in your bag, tournament prep strategies, the evolution of coaching in the sport, and what makes a player truly ready to compete.
But this isn’t just a recap. We zoom in on how those early insights still apply—and where we’ve grown since. With some fresh takes and honest reflection, we’re laying the foundation for a killer Year-In-Review in next week’s Episode 41.
Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or just jumped in, this is the episode to hear how it all connects. Come celebrate a full year of pickleball, learning, and plenty of laughs.
