Ok, just a few weeks ago this amazing, frustrating, confusing piece of electronic crap know as my computer would not allow me to upload pictures like I always have, and then all of a sudden, wham-o I can upload pictures. So just maybe if I keep really quiet it will allow me to continue.
Ok, so here is an update on the life of the Captain, also known as the captain and his gypsy. I AM A CHAMPION. Pickle Ball, mixed doubles, 2.5 level, GOLD MEDAL WINNER. You have to understand the key word is mixed doubles. For you non sports type people that means I had a partner of the female gender. You know being a champion is not only physical but mental as well. Picking a partner is highly strategic. You must know yourself, strong points and weaknesses. Recognizing a partner early means getting them before somone else does. So since I am a 1st year player I need to find another 1st year player with the potential skills to cover my weaknesses. Peggy walks on the court. Tall, thin, athletic, with an attitude of aggression. A retired military officer. Match her up with me, use to be tall, not thin, use to be somewhat athletic, and pretty laid back, and I was in the military at one time. Perfect choice. She will pretty much cover my weaknesses. Now lets play. The gold didn't come cheap, 5 hours of play in a double elimination tournament, and the temp, 90 deg. Water, Gator aid, and a partner that kept pushing me. Now thats how you become a champion.
