Top 10 List to Communicate with Your Pickleball Partner10. #WhisperingWinners - Channel your inner NFL coach and discuss winning strategies covertly covering your mouth with your racquet, ensuring your opponents won't intercept your game plan, even with a camera crew in tow.9. #MiddleNameMagic - Invoke the spirits of disappointed parents everywhere by dramatically calling out your partner's full name, adding a touch of guilty motivation to turn blunders into brilliant shots.8. #RaiseyourRacquet - As Pink says, "Raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways, all my underdogs!” for those mish*ts. 7. #EyebrowPower - Channel your inner Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and let a mere raise of an eyebrow convey an entire play strategy.6. #PickleballPantomime - Develop a secret code of signals behind your back that's more cryptic than a pickle trying to find its way out of a jar.5. #ShenaniganShouts - Shake up the court with Batman worthy onomatopoeias -- “whish” for down the line, “wham” for an overhead, “dink” for a drop shot, and “oooof” for missed shot,4. #BananaCommunication - Create a code language using fruit names, because who doesn't love a pickleball strategy session including pineapples and watermelon. 3. #JazzHandSignals - Bust out those dated hand signals that would rival the best cheerleading squad, traffic cop, and flight crew.2. #Play2Win: Yell Marco Polo when you miss your serve to help find it. 1. #TheFonze - The thought you say out loud when your partner pops up the ball to get you killed…."aaayyyyyy" Fonzarelli, style. #CourtsinSession #Play2Win #DallasPickleballSt. Louis Shock - Major League Pickleball United Pickleball Association Pickleball.com PPA Tour

The Association of Pickleball Players lifted the curtain to show what goes into producing each broadcast – and it’s a lot more than you probably imagine.Here are some of the more interesting facts about each APP broadcast:🔹Commentators work over 6 hours, whereas National Hockey League (NHL), Major League Baseball (MLB) and National Football League (NFL) broadcasts only typically last 3-4🔹Commentator AJ McCord has five minutes to organize her notes before interviewing them on-camera🔹Chad Edwards, on the other hand, doesn’t write anything down beforehand – his extra experience with the players allows him to improvise 🔹The broadcast booth is sometimes in earshot of the players, leading to some accidental player coaching and antics not often picked up by the feed🔹Bets are made on certain words to avoid during broadcast. A push-up bet was made to avoid the word hot on a 100 degree dayPickleballers can be a tough crowd to please when it comes to pro-event streaming. But we’d like to give a shoutout to everyone who brings these events to our screens.This segment is proudly brought to you by The Dink Newsletter.#pickleball #behindthescenes #linkedinsports

The Runningbacks in today’s NFL are debatably the best we’ve seen in many years. There is so much talent at the position. Is it because of schemes in the league now? Possibly. But a lot of backs look REALLY good.Check out my new project on YouTube!https://lnkd.in/eGqtK_Sa#nfl #nfldraft #youtube #sportsmedia #sportsjournalism #sportsindustry #sportsgambling #nflnews

The latest from Sports Illustrated in regard to the Oakland Athletics admitting that #Oakland is a viable market for a Major League Baseball (MLB) team. More importantly why can't anyone in #MLB comprehend this? A's fans want to show up to the coliseum for an #owner that actually wants to put together a team that will win on a consistent basis, yet those in MLB will continue to ignore that #JohnFisher has made little to no effort to accomplish that. If MLB wants an example of what happens when an #ownership group actually cares about #winning, #JoeLacob and #PeterGuber who bought the Golden State Warriors proves what will happen. Even if it takes being #booed after making a tough decision that ultimately made the team better, and the rest is history with the amount of #championships Golden State has won since their arrival. The Warriors had the worst owner in the #NBA and all it took was replacing him.Yet somehow #MLB is placated by #Fisher not lifting a finger since he arrived, the team constantly begs for hand outs and revenue sharing, and one of the more recent announcements that came this week was once again about revenue sharing. Manfred has a simple solution, force Fisher to sell and keep the A's in Oakland. #MLBNews #Sports #SportsNews
