I've always loved this quote by Meister Eckhart, and I especially love it as we say goodbye to summer and welcome the onset of autumn.

To me, it speaks to the nature of life and the markets, reminding us that every curve or turn is simply a new beginning.

So, here’s to September, to new beginnings, and to trusting the journey ahead.

New to pickleball or padel? Good news: both are beginner-friendly. Slightly humbling, but beginner-friendly.

For pickleball, start with placement before power. Learn the kitchen rules early, keep your paddle ready, and expect fast hands at the net.

For padel, don’t panic when the ball hits the wall. That’s the point. Focus on positioning, let the rally develop, and remember that not every shot needs to be a winner.

The real winning move? Pick the one that your friends will actually play with you.

Many communities have pickleball courts at parks, recreation centers, gyms, and tennis facilities. USA Pickleball’s 2025 report noted more than 82,000 known courts in its Pickleheads database.

Padel courts can take a little more searching, as the sport requires an enclosed court with walls. Try local racquet clubs, indoor sports facilities, social clubs, and newer court-sport venues.

Either way, beginner clinics and open-play sessions are a great place to start.

Tag the friend who’s always down to try a new sport.

Pickleball and padel don’t just play differently. They feel different from the first swing.

Pickleball uses a paddle and a hard plastic ball with holes. The court is open, the ball moves a little slower, and the game often turns into quick exchanges near the net.

Padel uses a perforated racquet and a lower-pressure tennis-style ball. The court is enclosed, the walls are part of the game, and rallies can get dramatic fast.

Pickleball brings the pop. Padel brings the ricochet.
