PicklePod 13: From College Football to Pickleball Pro

by The Dink Media Team on

In the most recent episode of PicklePod with Tyson Apostol and Thomas Shields, are joined by YouTube content creator Shea Underwood.

Shea Underwood has gone VIRAL in the world of pickleball with informing and engaging videos. He has helped nearly 100,000 pickleballers adjust to the one handed spin serve. We dive deeper into Shea’s background and see what makes him tick. *Spoiler Alert: it’s pickleball.* Shea discusses his journey to pro pickleball (he’s not quite there yet) and his unique perspective on the importance of serving. The guys close out the episode discussing Thomas’ Artificial Intelligence Twitter strategy and cover the latest in pickleball, including the lack of pros attending Nationals.
