Prince Boucher - Mission Athletic Club - Episode 137

Hey there, and welcome to the weMove podcast!This week’s episode is one for the tennis fans—and for anyone inspired to bring people together and build a thriving community. I’m in conversation with Prince Boucher, the founder of Mission Athletic Club in San Francisco. To me, this is a masterclass in creating a social sporting community that’s organized, respectful, and uniquely individual.Whether you’re passionate about tennis or dreaming of starting something in the racquet sports space, this episode is a must-listen. Prince and Mission Athletic Club have built something truly special, rooted in the fundamentals—like access to great free court infrastructure—but elevated by the way the community has been empowered to grow and shape the club.We dive into all things tennis, San Francisco, and the city’s changing dynamics, including the jaw-dropping reality of what $100,000 means for the poverty line. From there, we explore the innovative way the club is run, the tech platform that keeps it all connected, and the incredible scale of this community, with games happening every day across the city.For our UK listeners, think ParkRun—except for tennis. It’s that level of organization, but with a fresh, vibrant twist that only tennis can bring.I absolutely loved this conversation with Prince—thank you for your time and for sharing your journey with Mission. Wishing you continued success!As always, from Chris and me—peace ✌️.https://www.missionathletic.club/https://www.instagram.com/themissionathleticclub
