In this episode, Jeremy Sutton sits down with Eric Zheng, a leader in the local pickleball community, to talk about growth, community, and the powerful role sports play in bringing people together.

Eric shares his journey from serving as Director of Pickleball at Bellaire Baptist Church to stepping into his new role as Club Coordinator at The Picklr in Bossier City. He explains how pickleball has exploded in popularity and why it's become one of the most welcoming, social, and inclusive sports for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Throughout the conversation, Eric discusses:

• How pickleball builds connection and confidence, not just fitness

• What makes a great pickleball community and culture

• The vision behind The Picklr and what makes it different from other facilities

• How faith, service, and leadership shape the way he approaches his work

• The importance of creating spaces where beginners and experienced players feel equally valued

Jeremy and Eric also touch on injury prevention, longevity, and why movement-based communities like pickleball are so powerful for physical, mental, and social health—especially as we age.

This episode is a great listen for anyone curious about pickleball, interested in community leadership, or looking for ways to stay active while building meaningful relationships.
