We’re absolute PICKLEBALL ADDICTS here at Jigsaw Health. We even have a miniature pickleball court in the Customer Happiness Orchard inside our office! :)
BUT... we can’t go to the office right now. (Everyone -- except for Jigsaw’s Warehouse Warriors -- has been working from home since March 13th to help flatten the curve.)
AND... we can’t go to the pickleball courts either… they’re all closed.
SO... we did the next best thing -- we wrote a parody song, and then asked a bunch of our Pickleball friends to sing along to it.
We ended up with 180 video clips from 61 people. And it turned into the video you see above.
By the way, all of us are well aware that the COVID-19 crisis is no laughing matter — thousands have died, millions have lost their jobs, and EVERYONE is struggling right now in some form or another. (And if you and your family need help, please check out Jigsaw Health’s COVID-19 Relief Fund.)
But we also know that LAUGHTER is the BEST medicine. So please allow this attempt at comic relief… I hope it puts a much-needed smile on your face. :)
Never heard of pickleball? Check out this post What is Pickleball? It’s kind of like tiny-tennis, and it’s the fastest growing sport in the USA!
Once my wife, Ashley & I began playing Pickleball regularly, we learned firsthand that it can be a very physically demanding sport. Cramping is an especially common problem for Pickleballers…
But did you know there are actually two types of muscle cramps? That’s right. When you cramp up during physical activity, that’s because your body is low in Potassium. And when you wake up in the middle of the night grasping your legs? That's because your body is low in Magnesium.
Jigsaw Pickleball Cocktail™ contains both Potassium and Magnesium to help you stay hydrated, energized, and cramp-free on (and off) the courts.
Wonder whose beautiful voice you’re hearing in the video? Believe it or not, that is Jigsaw Health’s very own Business Development Manager -- Ashley Leroux. She grew up singing along to Whitney, Mariah, Shania, among many others for inspiration…
When Ashley was 6 years old, her older brother asked her, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Ashley replied without hesitation, “An actress slash singer slash comedian.” Mission Accomplished!
Here’s a video playlist of songs featuring Ashley Leroux and Jigsaw Health -- enjoy going down that rabbit hole! What else are you gonna do now that you finished binge-watching Tiger King? ;-)
Can’t wait to see you again on the courts!
