"People often tell me, you are building something special."
"The truth is, I'm not building the NPL ™ — the pickleball community is."
"My job is to provide the vision and the platform."
"The players, clubs, ambassadors, facilities, sponsors, and partners are the ones bringing it to life."
Gordon G.G. Gebert (CEO-NPL™)
