Emma's Pickleball Partner

About the Role

Do you have what it takes to rally beside Emma — part competitor, part tea enthusiast, full-time paddle warrior? We’re seeking a dependable Pickleball Partner to join Emma on the court, in victory and in minor paddle tantrums. Your mission: keep rallies alive, celebrate wins like you just won Wimbledon, and pretend that Emma’s missed shots were totally your fault (because sometimes, they are).

What you'll do

• Exhibit unwavering enthusiasm for dinks, drops, and third-shot drives
• Provide constant moral support — and occasional snacks — during intense matches
• Agree to "just one more game" at least three times per session
• Call lines fairly, but also know when to look the other way 👀
• Maintain good vibes, even when Emma insists on “working on her spin serve again”
• Participate in post-match café debriefs over lattes or smoothies
• Laugh at Emma’s pickleball puns (mandatory)

What we're looking for

• Strong paddle control and stronger sense of humor
• Experience in doubles strategy and emotional regulation
• Ability to compliment without sounding sarcastic
• Must tolerate coffee breaks mid-match
• Excellent communication skills (including dramatic sighs and fist bumps)

Nice to have

• Dog lover
• Frank hater (actually lover)
