    PPA Challenger Interviews | Charlotte, NC | Ep.36

    Send us Fan Mail We took Unforced Errors with Frank & Carl to the PPA Challenger in Charlotte and had a chance to sit down with a bunch of players competing on the Challenger Tour. We talked with Vincent Rettke, Masa Grgan, Maddy Rasmusen, Averee Beck, Wade Heerboth, Lauren Cole, and Jarryd Woog about their pickleball journeys, what it's like competing on the Challenger Tour, their goals, and what life looks like away from the court. Women's Singles world #2 Kate Fahey even stopped by to hang out and talk with us. We got into her journey from tennis to pickleball, the mental side of the game, and played a little Rapid Fire. It was a fun weekend in Charlotte and a great chance to get to know some of the players working their way through the pro pickleball scene.

    Chris Crouch: From the Beach to the Court, Ep.35

    Send us Fan Mail In Episode 35 of Unforced Errors with Frank & Carl, we sit down with Chris Crouch to talk about his unique journey from beach volleyball to professional pickleball. Chris breaks down how his background in beach volleyball helped shape his game, what it took to make the jump to the pro pickleball world, and how he manages to compete at a high level while working a full-time engineering career. We also get into the reality of balancing work, training, travel, and competition — and what Chris does with the very little free time he actually has. Whether you're interested in the pro pickleball grind, making a career change into the sport, or just curious how these players manage to fit everything into their lives, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

    The Long Game: Maria Klokotzky, Canada's #1, and Her Mission to Grow Pickleball in Canada, Ep.33

    Send us Fan Mail Meet Maria Klokotzky — Canada's #1 women's pickleball player and one of the most passionate ambassadors the sport has ever seen. In this episode, Maria sits down with us to talk about where it all began: growing up in war torn countries, the values and work ethic that were instilled in her from a young age, and how her early life shaped the competitor she is today. From there, she takes us through her tennis career — the grind, the lessons learned, and the skills she carried with her when she made the switch to pickleball. But what really sets Maria apart isn't just her game — it's her mission. She opens up about her deep commitment to growing pickleball across Canada, what the next steps are to make that happen, and the hurdles along the way. This one is equal parts inspiring and eye-opening. Don't miss it.
