At IPAClub.org we believe:
Our society is suffering from chronic loneliness, isolation, and depression, especially elders who are marginalized and seen as helpless or hopeless simply due to age. Our solution is to grow a Giving Forward Culture to pass on our legacy stories and values from grandparents to grandkids with hope and practical help.
Our GOAL here is to grow a Giving Community of Pickleball Players of all generations to Co-create a Living Legacy Storytelling Platform to record and save the lessons and wisdom of elders and youth to remember who we are and what our gifts are from past generations.
The pragmatic purpose here is to grow a Volunteer Coaching program for new Pickleball players in cooperation with local Community Centers, increase health span, and give new energy to older bodies through the power of Pickleball play as my wife and I have found. We need to recruit Pickleball Community Hero’s who truly care about their neighbors and friends like family.
As CEO, David is honoring his hero’s in business and life, his paternal grandparents Claudia and Elmer Nelson who were married the same year as the Great Depression in 1929. I will share more of their story as we begin an “AHA Storytelling 5 Day Challenge” for seniors and FREE online seminars we call, Co-Creating an Attitude of Gratitude for every Breath” with storytelling challenges for all ages.
My grandparents taught me that “Co-creating True Wealth is Pure Health.” So by helping all ages to play safely, improve movement and flexibility, free of pain for life we believe we will leave the world a great story and brighter future by rebuilding trust across generations.
