From a young age, Parris Todd displayed an innate passion for sports and a drive for success. At just five years old, she surprised her parents by requesting a tennis racket, setting the stage for a remarkable journey filled with achievements and triumphs. As she honed her skills, Todd quickly rose through the ranks to become a top junior tennis player, earning accolades such as the #1 regional and national ranking. Her talent and determination propelled her onto the PRO ITF tour at the tender age of fourteen, where she gained invaluable experience competing across the US and internationally, accumulating an impressive tally of over 85 tennis titles along the way.
Despite her thriving tennis career, Todd seized an opportunity to explore her passion for fashion, embarking on a new venture with the launch of her own company and brand, Waisted, USA. Balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with her athletic pursuits, Todd navigated the fashion industry with finesse, designing contemporary sportswear and streetwear for young women while staying abreast of evolving trends.
When the pandemic introduced pickleball into Todd's life, she embraced the sport wholeheartedly, finding joy and fulfillment on the courts like never before. Since then, Todd has amassed an impressive collection of over 45 medals on the APP & PPA tours, demonstrating her prowess and versatility in the world of pickleball. Notably, she secured two MLP titles in 2022 and achieved a triple crown victory at the prestigious US Open in 2023.
Todd's unwavering dedication, determination, and championship spirit are not only propelling her to greater heights on the court but also shaping her journey in life. With each triumph, Todd continues to prove that with passion, perseverance, and a winning mindset, anything is possible.
