51. William's Story - from heroin to pickleball

from Senior Pickleball Tips · host Paddy Hunter-Murphy William Clelland

This is the Story of one of our members - William Clelland - who dragged himself out of the Glasgow drug dens with the help of this amazing sport. Listen to his story of drink, trouble with the law, prison, heroin and deep dispair. Until one day, it all changed for him. Be patient with his strong Scots accent - don't worry, after 5 mins you'll get used to it! This is in total contrast to our episode a fortnight ago - when we met Lee Whitwell, the world #1 senior - but that is what Senior Pickleball Tips as all about. Pickleball is about PEOPLE - and William is one of those people - just like you and me. UPDATE - a month after this was recorded William won his first tournament against 23 others in an Americano tournament (what ever that is!). From heroin addiction to winning pickleball tournaments - what a guy!
