Bio: My name’s Connor, and I’m a 20-year-old pickleball enthusiast with a 5.0 rating sponsored by Neonic Pickleball. I dove into pickleball just two years ago, despite having no prior experience with racket sports. Before that, I played nearly every sport imaginable, primarily shining as a national-level hockey goalie. I take pride in my understanding of body mechanics, which helps me break down complex movements; for instance, I often liken the weight transfer in a serve to skipping a stone and a backhand flick to throwing a frisbee.
