Mary Brascia grew up in California and she began playing pickleball just a few years ago. Her parents introduced her to the game while she was a successful collegiate tennis player. After graduating from Biola University in May of last year, she focused fully on pro pickleball and made her mark right away. In her first 4 pro tournaments of 2022 she had 2 singles gold medals, 1 singles bronze medal, and a 1 silver medal in women’s doubles with her younger sister, Maggie. She was drafted and played in all 3 Major League Pickleball events of 2022 and now plays on the SoCal Hard Eights for the 2023 season.
She is fast rising star on the PPA Tour in all three professional divisions. 
In this episode Jamie and Mary talk about how she moved from high level tennis to pro pickleball player, her excitement around the Major League pickleball format for fans, how she is trying to balance her "addiction" to pickleball with other parts of her life, and the massive growth of the sport.
