Anna Bright

Anna Bright is pickleball's resident overachiever: high school valedictorian who graduated a year early, #2 tennis recruit in the nation, UC Berkeley double major in Business Administration and Data Science, Division 1 tennis player, Pacific Crest Trail thru-hiker, and now one of the top women's pickleball pros in the world. She plays for St. Louis in MLP and is sponsored by JOOLA. Oh, and she runs the Brighter Pickleball newsletter, because apparently being a top-3 pro athlete wasn't enough content for her LinkedIn.

Bright's data science background from UC Berkeley informs her analytical approach to opponents, and her "hilarious" and "unhinged" personality (her friend Kate Fahey's words, not ours) has made her one of pickleball's most entertaining follows. She's embraced the role of "pickleball's most eligible bachelorette," handing out roses to fans with her JOOLA paddle and creating a dating application form for potential boyfriends.
