Rockin' Out with The Pride of Piqua
When Alex Smith swapped his baseball mitt for a pickleball paddle, little did we know that the very same competitive fire that drove him on the diamond would ignite our local courts. With tales as rich as his craftsmanship, Alex’s journey from the dream of professional baseball to the business and sport arenas of Texas is nothing short of inspiring. Our latest conversation weaves through his life story, highlighting an impressive leap from college athletics to the front office of the Texas Rangers, and how those experiences have shaped his approach to pickleball and business with the same strategic finesse as a perfectly executed backhand.
We wrap up our session with heartfelt anecdotes and a nod to the entrepreneurial spirit that thrives within our ranks. From real estate ventures to the handcrafted rocking chairs that have become a staple at the Texas Rangers' stadium, it's clear that our passions extend far beyond the pickleball court. Alex's thoughtful gestures, like the handwritten note that lifted my spirits, underscore the camaraderie that's become the hallmark of our group. Join us as we celebrate the triumphs, tackle the challenges, and support each other's dreams—both in business and in the game we love.
