Lee Whitwell - World No.1 Female 50+ chats to Paddy
from Senior Pickleball Tips · host Paddy Hunter-Murphy Lee Whitwell
Wow! What a 50th episode we have for you! Paddy chats to Lee Whitwell, the world No.1 Female 50+ pickleball player, US Next Gen coach, businesswoman and all-round bloody amazing person. They discuss her early introduction into tennis then pickleball (in Gibraltar and England), what advantages are there to being a leftie, misogeny in the pickleverse (actually not that bad!), her book "The Third Space Effect: How Pickleball Became the Place We Belong" and her philosophy about the sport. Also we are SO lucky - because Paddy manages to get some seriously valuable tips for the 10 Essential Shots including... "I don't believe in hitting winners, I believe in setting up points" Lee shares a joke and a funny story (she likes to make people laugh), then describes her work founding GameChangeHER Events which helps all players but especially focuses on women 40+ and why she feels the community side of things is much more important than the pro tour, the medals and the cups. But she should know - she's done both! So listen to them chatting away and you might just take away a gem of advice or an incredible tip that will make a difference to your game.
