Prioritizing play and finding connection through pickleball | Jamey Cross Jamey Cross is the resident pickleball player at the StarNews.

I had such a great experience at the Pickleball Minds meetup in Indianapolis last Thursday! The goal was to grow the community of pickleball business owners for the benefit of partnerships, continued learning, and mutual support, and I think we achieved it. Thanks to Amitabh Jain for spearheading this event, and thanks to Kelly Nefouse Bodner for letting us use your space! It was awesome to connect with Arcot Naresh, Rick Witsken, Pat Gomes Angelicchio.

I (Christine) am still loving the TEMPO paddle from the Pickleball Panther. So much so that I got a tattoo to prove it 🤣 Thanks for hooking me up Pickleball Panther Brandon Fortunato!

We believe in the power of social media to connect folks in meaningful ways.

After meeting Brandon Fortunato and learning about his professional journey in hockey and now pickleball, I was excited to try out his Panther Tempo paddle and continue learning about pickleball fitness.

Played with the Pink Panther last night and appreciated the long handle and power…. Plus I LOVED taking on the panther persona with my friends!!

While I hale from North Carolina now, I have strong (and amazing) ties to Indiana and the greater Indianapolis business community.

Every once in a while I get the honor of contributing to the Indianapolis Business Journal and today I got to share my thoughts on the benefits of teambuilding in retaining your best employees.

We at PickleBall Corporate (team)Building use pickleball to help teams dig into their communication, collaboration, focus, and strategy styles.

Some of my other favorite teambuilders (Jodee Curtis Melanie Holt Fauth Deb Mashek Alexandra Suchman Rachel Pritz) offer deep dives into personality styles, work roles, and play - and how all this knowledge helps colleagues grow in understanding one another and being a better team.

The value of team building on employee engagement and retention - Inside INdiana Business Businesses have always been challenged to engage and retain their best employees. However, in the evolving job market, retention and culture building are more difficult than ever. Employee expectations are changing, gaps are broadening in the skills required to perform and deliver value to businesse...

We spent last week imagining the future of pickleball and the businesses that are sprouting up to support the sport.

I’d say the future looks bright—as we are starting them young!

Teambuilding.

Many of the pickleball facilities we work with offer "corporate teambuilding" on their websites.

This often includes court rentals, maybe some instruction, and maybe some food and drink.

Is that really teambuilding? Does that help you build a stronger culture, improve communication, and have residual value after the event?

Pickleball as a true teambuilding experience involves:
✅ basic instruction so that everyone can access the sport
✅ activities that help teams use the play experience as a way to see/understand more about how they behave (communicate, collaborate, strategize) as teammates
✅some competition that helps put those skills to the test of some "pressure"
✅ways to celebrate one another - not just for pickleball skills, but for demonstrating teaming traits (i.e. communication, body language, alignment, etc.)
✅a debrief to talk about how the experience revealed, affected, and will continue to impact the team dynamics moving forward.

Want all this? You want real teambuilding. (you want US)

Don't forget to register for the “Pickleball Minds” Forum on May 3rd in Princeton, NJ! You'll get the chance to hear from a variety amazing people in the Pickleball industry, including our own Christine Burrows. You won't want to miss this! Sign up at https://pickleballminds.com/en/
