Joy, Connection, and Why It’s Never Too Late to Get in the Game
LIFE LESSONS IN PICKLEBALL: Joy, Connection, and Why It’s Never Too Late to Get in the Game
What’s the big deal about pickleball? Amy Johnson wondered the same thing.
Life Lessons in Pickleball is her answer. Funny, warm, and relatable, it’s a book about what happens when you stop taking life so seriously and let an unlikely sport, now the fastest-growing in America, reveal something deeper about friendship, boundaries, joy, and the unexpected gift of beginning again.
Each chapter begins with a moment on the court and expands into how we connect with others, navigate change, and find our footing again, reminding us that it’s never too late to get in the game.
Written as a collection of short, A to Z reflections, this is a book you can pick up, put down, and return to whenever you need a reset.
A thoughtful gift for a friend, your mom, your sister, or anyone ready to start again.
Because sometimes the smallest moments, on a court, with a paddle, chasing a yellow ball, open the door to something much bigger.
You don’t have to win the point to win the day. (But it sure feels good when you do.)
No paddle required.
About the Author
Amy Johnson is a Los Angeles-based author, business coach and former Hollywood film executive. She discovered pickleball by accident on the last day of a business trip.
She began noticing things on the court that she applied to her life and work. After playing she would sit in her car and capture those reflections into her Notes app. Over time, those notes became this book.
Today, she helps leaders and teams improve communication and alignment so they can thrive wherever they find themselves. In the boardroom or on opposite sides of the net. As long as no one steps in the Kitchen.
She lives near Venice, California.
