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, this book explores what happens when you stop taking life so seriously and let an unlikely sport, one of the fastest-growing in America, reveal something deeper about fun, friendship, boundaries, and the unexpected gift of beginning again. Each chapter begins with a moment on the court and opens into how we connect, navigate change, and rediscover joy. A welcome reminder 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 partner, 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.
