In Episode 35 of Unforced Errors with Frank & Carl, we sit down with Chris Crouch to talk about his unique journey from beach volleyball to professional pickleball.

Chris breaks down how his background in beach volleyball helped shape his game, what it took to make the jump to the pro pickleball world, and how he manages to compete at a high level while working a full-time engineering career.

We also get into the reality of balancing work, training, travel, and competition — and what Chris does with the very little free time he actually has.

Whether you're interested in the pro pickleball grind, making a career change into the sport, or just curious how these players manage to fit everything into their lives, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

Meet Maria Klokotzky — Canada's #1 women's pickleball player and one of the most passionate ambassadors the sport has ever seen. In this episode, Maria sits down with us to talk about where it all began: growing up in war torn countries, the values and work ethic that were instilled in her from a young age, and how her early life shaped the competitor she is today. From there, she takes us through her tennis career — the grind, the lessons learned, and the skills she carried with her when she made the switch to pickleball. But what really sets Maria apart isn't just her game — it's her mission. She opens up about her deep commitment to growing pickleball across Canada, what the next steps are to make that happen, and the hurdles along the way. This one is equal parts inspiring and eye-opening. Don't miss it.
