Roger BelAir has a passion for pickleball. But after watching an episode of 60 Minutes about prisons, Roger had an epiphany. He recognized the powerful lessons that could be learned through the game he loved and believed those life lessons could be applied to inmates on the episode he was watching. So Roger reached out to the Sheriff he saw on TV and a few weeks later found himself teaching pickleball in Cook County Correctional Facility.
It's an amazing story of one man's mission to give back through the sport he loves, but also a testament to the power this game has over people.

WOW! Am I looking at this correctly? ZERO comments about the work that Roger has done here! I applaud Roger's work and I'm not surprised of his success with such a great game as pickleball. I laughed when he said that many times you even forget the score (because the game has taken you completely away from the responsibilities and distractions of the day. I've only been playing 9 months but look to many more enjoyable years. Again, I give Roger a standing "O" for this. Thank you Sir and thank you #kitchenkonversation for this interview.
