Startup Life...Small Wins are Big Wins
As the year winds down, I’ve been taking a moment to reflect on the milestones achieved with ONE Pickleball—a journey that’s been as challenging as it has been rewarding.
Next weekend marks a major milestone: hosting our very first ONE Pickleball pop-up event - launching ONE to the public!
Here’s what’s been achieved this year, and how it’s setting the tone for an exciting 2025:
🔥 Building a Startup from the Ground Up: launching a brand like ONE Pickleball has been a leap of faith. From concept to reality, every step has been a testament to hard work, creativity, and persistence.
🔥 Collaborating with Incredible Partners: This year, we’ve teamed up with companies like Decathlon UK, Phizz, KAN-NRG and Katie A.'s P3PRMNT to launch our Pop Up Event. Each partnership has helped us amplify the reach of pickleball, connecting it with wider communities and new audiences.
🔥 Early Wins: selling out 2/3 of our pop-up event sessions in just one week was a huge confidence boost—proof that the interest in pickleball is growing rapidly.
🔥 Creating Meaningful Experiences: from drop-in clinics to competitive play, food vendors, goodie bags, and prizes, this upcoming pop-up is about more than just sport; it’s about community, connection, and the love of sport.
🔥 Looking Ahead to 2025: This year has been a stepping stone to something even bigger. With the ONE British Pickleball GP on the horizon—including £10,000 in cash prizes and professional opportunities for players across the UK and Europe—I can’t wait to see how far we’ll go.
This year has been all about progress, learning, and laying the groundwork for what’s to come. For a startup, every small win feels monumental, and every challenge is a chance to grow.
Excited to see how this next event shapes the future of ONE Pickleball and helps us close the year on a high note. Here’s to an even bigger 2025! 💪
