  • Do you have a formal pickleball coach?
    Not Really. My mom is my only coach. She helps me and travels with me.

  • What living person do you most admire?
    My mom. She is the best mom I could ever ask for. She takes care of me.

  • What are your future plans?
    I would like to play pickleball in the Olympics. I would like to be a part of that. As for life in general, if the opportunity is there, go take it. I haven't decided about college yet. I want to see where pickleball takes me. Right now, I am riding the pickleball wave. My goal is to get more juniors to play the sport.

#callisout

In her Pickler Podcast interview a couple of weeks ago, Anna Bright talked about her mental toughness:

""I have two little sisters and my dad was all of our coaches.

My sisters were also good. But, they just...

In junior tennis, especially, you just have to be so tough

because there's no refs a lot of the time

and so there's a lot of cheating

and other things

and unfortunately

I think that weeds out a lot of the young talent

and it just kind of cultivates people

who kind of have a bit of a toughness

but also maybe even a bit of a mean streak

you have to be able to stand up for yourself

when things are not going your way."
