Lauren Shin Hroch

Shin-Hroch's journey from recreational play in Hawaii to competing at pro-level events on the PPA Tour (including the Selkirk Red Rock Open with partner Celeste Oto) and MLP showcases the kind of rapid development that's become a hallmark of modern pickleball. She co-organized the Pacific Club Pickleball Invitational with Honza Hroch, proving she's as passionate about growing the sport as she is about competing in it.
