Welcome to the 2023 Pickleball English Open!
Tomorrow the biggest Pickleball event in Europe starts, and the zcebra team will be with their best players.
Pickleball is more than just a game; It is a sport that unites people, regardless of age or origin. It fosters a sense of community, friendship and healthy competition. As we step onto these courts, let us remember that we are not just individual players, but a close-knit community of pickleball enthusiasts, all driven by a passion for the game.
To experienced players, I urge you to show your experience and expertise.
You’ve honed your skills through countless hours of practice, and now it’s time to shine. Share your knowledge with others, inspire them and remember that sportsmanship is just as important as victory. Encourage and support your fellow gamers, because a true champion lifts others up along the way.
For those who are new to pickleball or trying to play a competitive game for the first time, I say enjoy the excitement and nerves. This is your chance to learn, grow and discover the thrill of pushing your limits. Remember, all the great players started out as beginners. Do not be afraid to make mistakes; it’s all part of the learning process. Embrace the journey and you will be amazed at all you can achieve.
As we take to the courts, let us also remember the core values that define this beautiful game: respect, integrity and fair play. Treat your opponents with the same respect that you would want for yourself. Celebrate moments of triumph and support each other in moments of challenge. Let us be known not only for our skills on the court, but also for our kindness in victory and defeat.
Above all, let’s appreciate the sense of community that makes pickleball so special.
This tournament is not just about winning; it’s about making memories, bonding, and celebrating our shared love of this wonderful game. Cheer on your opponents when they take an amazing shot and revel in the joy of every point you earn.
I have no doubt that today’s tournament will be a showcase of determination, talent and sportsmanship. So, let’s give our all, without leaving anything on the courts. Play with your heart, with passion, and with the knowledge that, win or lose, we are all winners in the spirit of the game.
