Sophie Chiche,
Senior Contributor
Sophie Chiche is an entrepreneur, author, speaker, journalist, psychologist, and founder of Be Current.
Driven by a desire to share, inspire, activate, and amplify, Sophie’s lifelong dedication to exploring the question of “why?” has taken her around the world.
She’s helped craft businesses and social ventures of all shapes and sizes, written for many international publications, and coached high-powered entrepreneurs and executives in large corporations. She’s also a renowned speaker with connections to Arianna Huffington and Nelson Mandela.
Sophie struggled with weight from her teens to her early forties, ultimately reaching 350 pounds before turning her life around and losing 230 of them.
Growing up and into adulthood, “working out” meant pulling muscles and breaking bones. That stayed true even after she lost the weight.
Sophie stepped onto a Pickleball court in the summer of 2021 with her life partner, Wally - together, they’ve played every day and, on many days, multiple times. On the court, they met Carrie Lane, a Pickleball coach turned friend and business partner.
The trio created Pickleball-based Point Made with a mission to integrate Pickleball coaching, neuro intelligence, and mindset design into a holistic experience that improves Pickleball players’ lives and games.
