Wednesday, Nov. 18, 6:00–7:00 PM
Warm River Studio, 612 Main Street, Ashton
Author Lynn Grant Beck will visit Warm River Studio in Ashton to discuss her new book, Dink, Drive, Thrive: How Pickleball Transforms Lives, and examine why pickleball is sweeping the nation.
In Lynn Grant Beck’s newest publication, Dink, Drive, Thrive: How Pickleball Transforms Lives, she goes beyond the paddle and the court to explore how a simple game is changing lives in remarkable ways. Through inspiring personal stories, she reveals how pickleball is helping teenagers overcome social anxiety, adults find friendship and renewed purpose, and veterans and first responders cope with PTSD. She also examines the sport’s surprising impact behind prison walls, where it is fostering connection and transforming institutional culture. Blending compelling storytelling with practical advice for players of all levels, Beck makes a persuasive case that pickleball is about much more than competition or exercise: it’s about belonging, resilience, health and the power of community.
