Hannah Blatt was one of the top squash players in the world before transitioning into professional pickleball, where she’s now ranked No. 22 in singles and become one of the most followed players in the sport on social media.

In this episode, Hannah sits down with Roscoe and Jared to trace her path from elite junior and college squash to professional pickleball, and how she became one of the first players in the sport to build a following around her personal brand rather than just her results on the court.

Hannah breaks down her rise through junior and college squash at Drexel, including a brutal sophomore season playing the No. 1 spot where she lost nearly every match, and how that experience shaped her decision to eventually walk away from the sport and throw herself into pickleball instead.

Hannah also opens up about becoming one of pickleball’s first influencers before it was common, how a mixed doubles partnership with Grayson Goldin turned into an engagement, and her goals to crack the top 20 in all three divisions and eventually go pro at the highest level.
