Katherine Tomlin on LinkedIn: More Pickleball at Genesis Health Clubs!! And volleyball too! 🏓🏐 (2024)

Nothing is cool… until it is. What was once a silly backyard game with a quirky name, became a sport with major celebrity endorsem*nt and investment. Major key: The product. Main characteristic of the product: Accessible gameplay. .With a smaller court, bigger & slower ball, you get dynamic gameplay w/ a short learning curve that requires less physical exertion. It’s fun, fast, using less. .These are the trends. People want to play. People want to have fun, fast, using less. And as you expand wide, they need to have a short learning curve. Then later, people want to compete. .Pickleball is now. It’s exciting to watch for us as we grow Kickit which attracts the ever growing soccer community with Soccer Tennis. And with yesterdays news about Leo Messi coming to Major League Soccer, in our backyard, it’s even more exciting for us. The stock is rising..Kickit’s product stack is carefully designed leveraging these same key traits we identified many years ago. And after years of product development + market exposure we have product-market fit and are rapidly gaining momentum on social media from our European Kickit Tour with over 3 million engagements in the last 14 days… with more exciting developments coming out soon.Kickit is next. .#pickleball #sportsbusiness #kickitsport #soccertennis #footballtennis #messi #mls #intermiami

🏆 I've done my best as Angel City Football Club owner to be a resource for the entire league and one of the things that jumped at me early on was how lackluster our trophies were. These women are the best and their trophy should reflect that, I argued, and the league rightly agreed, so I facilitated an intro to an amazing brand () and the rest is history. Now we just need Angel City FC to be holding it in a month! Selfishly, it's also in EVERY league's best interest to have a GREAT-looking championship trophy. WHY? (My favorite question to ask folks) Because those are the most iconic + memorable images from a whole season of hard work and for folks who aren't (yet) fans, it'll be the only image they may see.Perception is reality. And the brands who make this all work financially are still made up of humans who make decisions about where to spend their valuable attention (and money).For the same reason we pushed for higher-quality broadcasts, we should have some STUNNING images of the most important trophy that look GREAT because people expect a GREAT trophy for the top leagues in American Mens Sports.Onward. More to do. I just made some intros, I'm so happy with how well the NWSL executed to get this done (and the design is A++++++++).https://776.vc/46wWPpv
