After Young’s 10-year childhood career playing competitive junior tennis, he was ready for a change. Having burnt out from his previous passion, Young was convinced to swap his racquet for a paddle. Young’s success in pickleball can be attributed to his wrist flexibility, his strategic understanding of the game and his natural ability to generate power. Young has gone on to win numerous accolades since turning pro, winning at all different competitions and venues.
Young grew up in Burriana, Spain, but moved to Southern California at the age of 13. He now lives in Austin, TX, where he trains regularly with the professional pickleball community there.
