“We, like, went undefeated in this doubles pickleball tournament.”

So, I’m not a sporty girl. I sing, I act, but I don’t play sports. But, everybody knows this. Like, I was the girl who, when we played basketball stations like in elementary school gym class, the teacher actually gave me different rules for every station because I was that bad at making baskets. Like, I just had no coordination. But one time, we were playing pickleball and it was, like, the first time I had ever played pickleball and we were doing a doubles tournament.

So me and my equally unathletic friend — I mean, like, we were the loner nerds that memorized digits of pi for fun, that had never played a sport in our lives — we crushed everyone. Oh my gosh, we, like, went undefeated in this doubles pickleball tournament. We were just so good. And I mean, it was, like, a pretty equal team effort between the two of us.

So, I know some people say that pickleball is not a real sport or that it’s like a white person sport or an old lady sport. But pickleball, that is my sport. That is the sport that I can play and I can actually win at.

So yeah. I don’t know if I’d be any good anymore ’cause I haven’t played it in like five years, but I was really good that time.
