Pickleball: Boris Paque, n°1 belge, nous explique son ascension fulgurante et l'essor de ce sport

from Snack

On reçoit Boris Paque, numéro un belge de pickleball, pour une analyse approfondie de ce sport encore méconnu en Belgique mais en pleine expansion à l’international. Ancien joueur de tennis, il se consacre désormais entièrement à sa carrière dans le pickleball, avec l’ambition d’intégrer le haut du classement européen à court terme. En quelques mois, Boris a accumulé une vingtaine de podiums et une petite dizaine de titres sur le circuit européen. Thèmes clés abordés dans l’interview • La définition du pickleball et les raisons de son essor spectaculaire aux États-Unis ; • Les différences avec le tennis, le padel ou le badminton ; • Les spécificités du jeu : service, volées, doubles, importance des effets de balle ; • Son parcours personnel, de ses débuts lors d’une initiation à Liège jusqu’à sa participation à la Coupe du monde aux États-Unis ; • Son passage à l’académie de Patrick Mouratoglou en Floride, une étape clé dans sa progression ; • Les difficultés de développement du pickleball en Belgique, où les infrastructures restent limitées ; • Ses objectifs : représenter la Belgique sur la scène internationale et préparer l’éventuelle entrée du pickleball aux Jeux Olympiques 2032. Nous avons abordé également les enjeux financiers, l’absence de soutien structurel, les exigences physiques et mentales de la discipline, ainsi que les perspectives de croissance du pickleball en Europe.

Life is Short with Justin Long Audible Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m in my forties, yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me. My brother Christian is on hand each episode to keep me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Life is Short with Justin Long ad-free right n Explicit Unfiltered Kitchen with Cheyenne Davis and Kyle Floyd Cheyenne Davis & Studio71 The stove, the refrigerator, the hub of the house for many of us, the one stop shop for conversations big and small, our kitchens.
