Is Pro Pickleball (at least the UPA, aka MLP & PPA) a house of cards ready to fall? They've burned through the cash from their "$75 million" blockbuster merger just 10 months ago, and a bridge loan of $10mm is needed by January 15 for the entity to meet its obligations. What does this means for team owners, investors and shareholders (like Jill) and will we see a repeat of salary wars in 1.5 years when player contracts come up? Jill & Kristin also catch you up on all things "Paddlegate 5.0" and the "Paddle Mafia Fees" the UPA is attempting to collect from paddle companies. The girls also take you through 7 life changing pickleball lessons Jill gave Kristin in 2024 that will undoubtedly help your game, too. Finally, J&K go over some incredible SFIA year end data for pickleball and end with a recap on how they did in their "2024 players to watch" predictions. Next podcast they reveal their 2025 players to watch.
