🎙️ Smashing Plastic Podcast: Junior Pickleball Phenom Halina (Age 9!) Talks Medals, Cruises & Dreams of Going Pro
In this fun and heartwarming summer episode of the Smashing Plastic Podcast, Coach Tommy is joined by a very special guest—9-year-old Halina, a rising star in junior pickleball who’s already competing in tournaments, winning medals, and putting in serious work on and off the court.
We talk all things pickleball and beyond:
- Halina's experience traveling to Alaska
- Competing against 14-year-olds at just 9 years old
- Her favorite shot (spoiler: it’s a beast of a 2-handed backhand)
- Strength training for singles
- Shoutouts to her coaches, favorite pros (Anna Leigh Waters & Tyson McGuffin), and more
- Her big dreams of going pro… and maybe becoming a vet, too 🐶💪
It’s a must-listen for anyone who loves the game, supports youth sports, or just wants a good dose of positivity and motivation from the next generation of pickleball stars.
