Episode Notes
We’re back from Florida! In this episode of Certified McNasty, Matt Manasse and Jason Adler recap an incredible week at the Pickleball Slam 2. Jason shares the wild story of how he went from a spectator to an "opportunist" player in the amateur portion of the Slam after a last-minute opening.
Matt breaks down the high-level play from legends like Andre Agassi, John McEnroe, Maria Sharapova, and Steffi Graf. We also dive into our time spent training with James Blake and the specific strategy shifts happening at the pro level.
Finally, we address the viral "waterslide" moment—is Jason actually coordinated, or was he just "built for speed"?
