Brandon Nsekpong

Brandon Nsekpong is a professional pickleball player from Austin, Texas, who found the sport in the most casual way possible: he spotted people playing while shooting hoops at a local gym. That chance encounter set off a rapid transformation fueled by his background in junior tennis (50+ tournament wins), college basketball (D3 scholarship), and competitive table tennis (U.S. Open competitor with a 2100 rating). Within a few years, Nsekpong was competing on both the PPA and APP tours, racking up over 50 pro match wins.

Voted Austin's #1 pickleball coach in 2024, Nsekpong teaches at Apex Pickleball Clubs and offers private lessons, clinics, and online courses. On tour, he's known for his explosive forehand drive and crafty backhand counter block. He adopted a two-handed backhand to evolve his game and has stated his ultimate goal is to become the #1 male player in the world. Sponsored by CRBN, Nsekpong is building both his competitive resume and his coaching brand at the same time.
