Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Toss & Spin (Tennis & Pickleball Events) 2023 BizBash Sports Power Player Award
Making racket sports "approachable" has several benefits, as it encourages wider participation and promotes a healthier lifestyle. Here are some reasons why it's important to make racket sports approachable: 1. Inclusivity: By removing barriers to entry, such as cost and skill level, more people can participate, regardless of their background, age, or fitness level. This fosters a sense of inclusivity and diversity. 2. Confidence Building: Participation in racket sports can boost self-confidence as people learn and progress in the sport. This newfound confidence can extend to other areas of life. 3. Fun and Recreation: Ultimately, making racket sports approachable is about ensuring that people have opportunities to enjoy themselves, have fun, and engage in a recreational activity that brings joy to their lives. Shout out to Jack and Jill of America, Inc. for understanding this and making it available throughout their network.
On Saturday we hosted Jack and Jill of America, Inc. and it was a blast. Introducing a group of youth to the sport of pickleball in a fun approachable way was amazing. Looking forward to our next Jack and Jill event!!!!

I wanted to share a recent initiative by Sports4Kids-CA, the nonprofit founded by my son, Arden Pala. In collaboration with Eco Sports LLC, they've recently provided underprivileged kids at an elementary school the opportunity to experience Pickle Ball. Beyond introducing them to the sport, these students were also given essential sports equipment, ensuring a continued engagement. From its inception two years ago with just one elementary school, Arden's vision has now reached four schools. His proactive approach to securing partnerships with high-profile sponsors such as Dick's Sporting Goods and Barrons Grocery Stores has been instrumental in amplifying the impact of Sport4Kids. 📊 Some noteworthy data: * Physically active are 15% more likely to attend college (source: The Aspen Institute : https://lnkd.in/dNca7U67) * Student athletes get up to 40% higher test scores (source: Again The Aspen Institute) * Teens who participate in team sports are less likely to use drugs, smoke cigarettes and carry weapons. (Source: https://lnkd.in/dXzDcut5) * Participation in team sports results in a higher GPA for both high school boy and girl athletes. (Source: https://lnkd.in/dJPp6T4B) It's evident that sports play a transformative role in early child development. Arden's dedication to expanding the reach of Sport4Kids ensures that more children benefit from the manifold advantages sports offer. Keep up to good work Arden, and continue to increase the impact of Sports 4 Kids! #Sport4Kids #PickleBall #ChildDevelopment #SportsForChange #earlychildsports #impactofsports
Last Thursday afternoon, Troy Akin, founder and CEO of Eco Sports LLC, joined me in officially starting our 2023 sports program! Mr Troy, being a professional Pickle Ball player himself, coached students through the basics of Pickle Ball. This practice is the first of many, and I can't wait to continue coaching at Horton for the remained of the school year.

It's hard to believe people had doubts about Deion Sanders' ability to do this job. He's the ultimate player's coach. Listen to this interaction between him and Colorado WR Jimmy Horn. #linkedinsports #inspiration #collegefootball

Last week at a luncheon, a few old mates (Denis Pagan, Dr Harry Unglik & Wayne Carey) of the North Melbourne FC 1996 Premiership Team gathered to celebrate Corey McKernan’s 50th birthday. The occasion turned into a journey through time, revisiting football victories, pivotal moments, fun times, resilience and the development of life principles forged over the past 25 years. Conversations shifted to nostalgic reflections as memories flowed, victories were recounted and the challenging times that have been life shaping. The parallels between past sporting principles and present-day realities became evident. The key messages that resonated were the importance of principles like accountability, discipline, hard work, belonging and the need for a vision. All proving to be pivotal for their success at the time. The notion of vision emerged as a significant aspect of this success and a driving force in sport, business and life. The celebration transformed into a living testament to the enduring nature of these principles, living philosophies which shaped their journeys. Corey's 50th became a tribute to the wisdom that binds them, a celebration of timeless lessons learned on the field and translating into life. #highperformance #teamsuccess #teamculture

Teaching is a core part of football, finance, and life. 🏈 💼 💡 With the kick-off of the football season upon us, we thought we would share one of our favorite quotes by the great Vince Lombardi. It resonates not only personally but also with our role as financial professionals. It’s not about dictating—whether it’s our children, employees, or clients—but about helping them to understand the reasons behind guidance. We hope everyone enjoys the camaraderie and competition this season brings! And we would love to hear your favorite quotes by football coaches! We know we had trouble picking our favorite! #FootballSeason #FinancialLiteracy #LifeLessons #CoachingWisdom #VinceLombardi
