How This Teenager Is Dominating Professional Pickleball

[@tobiaskaye844]

It was my pleasure to have played Anna Leigh when she was just starting out in Delray, FL. She and her parents are genuinely great people that have worked hard to attain this level of excellence!

ALW will be the best pickleball player ever in history in terms of wins, no doubt. He raw talent is one thing, her rise during the early stage of pickleball gaining popularity is another. As the pro circuit and the sport in general get crowded, it will be harder and harder to dominate like she has been.

[@bestiacountryclub]

Yes 100%

[@Scott-sm9nm]

Outstanding video with expert interviews. Appreciated both their input and have respected Todd Boss's efforts in racquetball for a long time.

[@mikefixac]

Wonderfully done. Anna Leigh, no doubt, is the greatest women's pickleball player ever. That stats guy was off the hook, great stuff.

[@georgeedginton2541]

The reason players dominate pickleball is because money just came into effect. Johns brothers and Anna are the first to train like professional so they are a leg up. 3 years ago nobody played this game

[@SMRaiyyan]

Absolutely loved the video! When will you announce the giveaway winner?

[@RobinskyRohue]

Very insightful video!

Amazing! Just subscribed.

This was a great video, but it was missing about 200 transitions and jumps that I signed up for. Get the word out about this channel so he can grow his subs.

[@bestiacountryclub]

Made me laugh out loud haha Thanks for the compliment!

[@tennisforever1282]

The most impressive aspect of Anna Leigh is her mental game. She plays with no fear. She is so much better mentally and emotionally than any female tennis player on the WTA tour. Tennis players could learn from her.

[@MeepMeep88]

LOL um ok.. A bit dramatic there but sure

[@Soy.OLJ5]

great video!

Anna Leigh was born on January 26, 2007, in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Shortly after, her family relocated to Clinton, North Carolina, where she spent the first eight years of her life. In 2015, the family moved again, this time to Delray Beach, Florida. 14:49 Anna Leigh twists her ankle chasing a ball and Kate Fahey screams in her face after winning the point. (interesting ending)

[@bestiacountryclub]

Thanks for the correction! The last clip was me just trying to add b-roll. I didnt even realize the context of the clip. My mistake

[@yukuhana]

There was one match against Hurricane Tyra Black where she lost and she did lose her temper.

[@hafadaze9046]

She played tennis that’s all I needed to know.

She is only child and has been attentively guided by parents/grandparents.

[@rburnsiv]

Abrupt ending

[@imperialduckm3]

She's a very good and talented player within the sport of Pickleball.. but to label her a GOAT at only 3-4 years of playing IMO is jumping the gun too soon! If she is still playing at this higher level skill and dominating her opponents say about 10-15 years from now-then your video would be correct. Just don't hand out trophy before it is actually earn!

[@MauiPukaball]

Well she's the greatest up to this point in time. And I would argue that at 17 (soon to be 18) years of age she still has plenty of good years ahead of her. I also believe that nobody will ever surpass the number of gold medals she's accumulated (and will continue to accumulate) before she's done.

[@imsap2323]

She is amazing and I’m a big fan and she is definitely the most dominant female pickleball pro…. But she does not and cannot “hit the ball as hard as the men”. hinting that she could beat pro men is ridiculous… they would destroy her. (no offense, but it’s the truth)

[@georgeedginton2541]

Her mom has trained her since a young age. In just a few years she will no longer be dominating. Do not compare he to tiger woods and federer . Pickleball is a novelty sport that anyone can play.

[@andrewlenz]

It depends on your definition of “dominate”. I expect ALW to remain #1 for at least another five years and expect her to be in the top five for as long as she wishes to play. She is young, has a big head start, has great resources, and has been proven to be adaptable. Pickleball is a “novelty sport”? Perhaps, but it’s continuing to grow like crazy. I’m sure tennis started as a “novelty sport” too. And, yes, anyone can play, but not everyone can play WELL. As a player gets better and better in this nearly 60-year-old sport, it gets harder and harder to find equal opponents. Initially, it’s easy. But there is a real skill to pickleball. There was a tennis pro who came to pickleball, returned to tennis and was amazed how slow the game of tennis was to him. That and he was surprised by the complex strategy required in pickleball, especially doubles.

[@ruhroah5044]

Troll take: unlike Kaitlin Clark, she's unlikable...wonder why.

[@gg80108]

Shes had no real interaction in the real world being home schooled, playing with mom. Heard AL has her own "coach" to go to tournaments, further isolation. This shows in interviews. Those surrounding her have no personality either, so likes attract.

[@joefran619]

The name alone is so woke, Pickleball? What a joke.

[@philipgerrans8152]

terrible to see real athlete/ players wasting their time with this

[@gg80108]

A couple of million $$$ when 18 for playing a game where some travel and someone is not trying to knock your head off is hardly a waste. You get paid for playing a game? More play leisure Pickleball in America then any other sport. 10 million more than tennis! According to the 2023 APP Pickleball Participation Report, 36.5 million people played pickleball in the last year, with 14% of Americans over 18 trying the sport within the last two years. You can look up the dwindling tennis numbers.

[@bestiacountryclub]

I mean, she's made a few million dollars directly from the sport so its difficult to argue, "its a waste of time"
