What Two Empty Nesters with Gold Medals and Matching Outfits Can Teach Us About Starting Over with Cecy Feld and Holly Kerr
Descripción del Episodio
You know that friend who texts you at 1am just because she figured out you’re both still awake? Now imagine she’s also your doubles partner, your hype woman, your matching-outfit co-conspirator, and the person who gets genuinely jealous when you drill with someone else.
That’s what’s waiting for you in this episode.
This week, we’re sitting down with Cecy Feld and Holly Kerr of Feld/Kerr Pickleball, two former tennis players, current empty nesters, and 50-plus pickleball influencers who decided that winning age-bracket pickleball tournaments was a great start and also not even close to enough. What began as a charity tournament on a whim turned into matching Lucky in Love outfits, a big ass calendar, a gold medal at Worlds, and a very real road to senior pro.
But underneath the outfits and the gold medals is something more interesting: two women who got everything they planned for and then decided to plan something bigger. Pickleball just happened to be the vehicle.
We get into:
-
How a tennis friendship turned into a full-blown doubles partnership, including the moment they both knew it was official
-
The real difference between PPA tournaments and APP events at the senior pro open level, and why that gap is humbling in the best possible way
-
What their weekly pickleball training, drilling, and tournament planning actually looks like
-
Why pickleball fashion isn’t just about looking cute, and what matching outfits actually signal to opponents before a single ball is struck
-
Partner jealousy, blind date mixed doubles, and what happens when your regular partner drills with someone else and doesn’t text you back for two hours
-
How playing against your partner can teach you things you’d never see from the same side of the net
-
Why the pickleball community at tournaments like the Masters in Palm Springs and the US Open in Naples feels less like competition and more like a reunion you didn’t know you needed
-
What competitive pickleball looks like when 80-year-olds are out there playing singles and their friends are cheering from the sidelines, and why that image changes how you think about the next few decades
-
How women athletes over 50 are rewriting what ambition looks like, one tournament weekend at a time
This one’s got gold medals, wellness wake-up calls, a very dramatic drilling betrayal, and a love letter to pickleball that might actually make you tear up a little. Fair warning.
Pour something cold and press play.
Cheers,
Casie and Lauren
