About this speaker
Once a thriving college athlete who played volleyball and basketball with gusto, 30 years later, Lynn's ACL gave way entirely. Faced with the prospect of surgery, she chose an unconventional path, deciding to let her knee heal naturally. It felt like a gavel echoing in a silent courtroom - she feared she had pronounced the end of her court sports career.
The year 2018 found her nestled in the snow-swept landscape of Connecticut, searching for an indoor winter activity that wouldn't be a death knell for her mending knee. As if guided by the hand of destiny, she stumbled upon Pickleball, a game played on a compact court. Her thrilling discovery? Her knee could weather the storm!
Drawing from the wellspring of her journalism background and fortified by her graduate degrees in physical education and sports psychology, Lynn dove headfirst into the exciting world of Pickleball. She started weaving tales of the sport, threading in her personal experiences and professional knowledge. In the autumn of 2020, as the world slowed down in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, she found an opportunity in the stillness and launched the "Pickleball Fire" podcast, a platform to discuss, dissect, and delve into this burgeoning sport.
Today, she wears the badge of over 200 interviews with Pickleball enthusiasts, athletes, and professionals. Each conversation is a treasure trove of tips and strategies to up your Pickleball game. It's been a journey of resilience, discovery, and sheer passion.
