Description

Does playing tennis help you play pickleball? Does playing pickleball help your tennis game?We were thrilled to have Yubie Albert join us to discuss tennis AND pickleball. He is a sponsored pickleball player with Selkirk Sport, a well-known pickleball company that is based out of Hayden, ID (https://www.selkirk.com/). In addition, he works as an Operations Manager at Carpe - a North Carolina company that produces Anti Sweat Antiperspirant solutions for your body (https://mycarpe.com/). If you are interested in the giveaways, please check out our Facebook or Instagram post about how to enter!Yubie played college tennis and is currently a 4.5 USTA Tennis player.  He captains many USTA teams that went to the state championships, sectionals, and once to Nationals in 2018, along with numerous World Team Tennis that also went to qualifiers and to Nationals in 2016.  In addition to that, he was named North Carolina Captain of the year in 2018.  In late 2019, he began his pickleball journey.   As a beginner pickleball player, he started as 3.5.  His curiosity about the sport took him out to the courts to learn and practice every day.  He played his first tournament in doubles as a 3.5 and won Gold right away without losing any games and played his second tournament as a 4.0 and won Gold also. After his first two, he started playing 4.5 level, several 5.0s, and even a couple in the professional levels.  He earned several Gold and Silver medals in 4.5s and even though no medals yet at the professional level, he had some great wins.  Currently, he resides in Raleigh, NC with his wife Mandy, who is also an avid tennis and pickleball player.

Second Serve Podcast is the only tennis podcast created exclusively for adult recreational players by everyday tennis players. We are passionate about the game and our episodes are geared towards adults playing a sport in the later years of life (hence, the name “Second Serve”). The goal of the podcast is to promote and grow the game of tennis for adult players. This podcast discusses everything related to adult recreational tennis. Topics include the following: advice for beginners; what adult recreational players wear; funny and crazy situations that happen on the court; the rules of adult tennis; and how it feels being an adult and getting your feelings hurt when you are not played in an important match. We know how it feels! If you would like to see pictures of our guests or listen to any of our previous episodes, please visit our website https://secondservepodcast.com.
