Prior to being a pickleball superstar, Anna Bright played on the UC Berkeley women’s varsity tennis team and reached a career-high ranking of #13 in the country. Bright also played on the MLP Team Ranchers and the APP circuits before joining the PPA Tour. She is now a Gold Card touring pro with the PPA.

Bright attributes her success in pickleball to her fast hands, consistency, and good anticipation — and her Hannah Montana pump-up playlist. She feels fortunate to reside in South Florida, where she practices with other skilled players on a regular basis. Bright made the decision to quit her full-time job and become a dedicated pickleball player, having worked as an account manager at DUPR before transitioning to the PPA tour.
