Proud Parent Moment! 🌟
So incredibly proud of Grace for receiving the Rising Star Leader Award tonight from Waseem Mansoor, Director of Team Business & Operations at Major League Pickleball, during the MLP End of Season Gala! 🏆✨
Grace poured her heart and soul into leading the New Jersey 5s (DUPR 18) team this season. Through hard work, relentless energy, and true leadership on and off the court, she helped rally the squad to climb all the way from 8th place up to a 5th-place finish out of 10 teams! 📈🔥
Watching her grow as a player, teammate, and leader has been an absolute joy. Huge thank you to MLP, Waseem Mansoor, and the entire New Jersey 5s family for an unforgettable season.
The future is bright, and Grace is just getting started! 💙⚡

What an absolute rollercoaster of a finale for The New Jersey Fives out in Newport Beach, California! ☀️🏖️ The mornings were gorgeous, but once the sun came out, those courts were absolutely baking—and the action on court was just as hot! 🏓🔥
Facing off against the Palm Beach Royals, we rolled out a lineup configuration that historically only had a 25% win rate. But Grace completely flipped the odds! Repping the Fives, she took on fierce competition—facing a formidable girl and two really solid guys—and went absolute monster mode, winning back-to-back mixed doubles matches 11-3 and 11-9 to carry us into the next round! 👑⚡️
For round 3 against the Orlando Squeeze, another top-tier contender, we didn’t run our ideal lineup structure for the matchup. Grace battled hard under the blazing sun alongside our lower-rated player to pull out a respectable 4-11 against a titan team, and when paired with our top player, they fought down to the wire before coming up just short at 8-11.
Despite coming up short at the end, what an incredible season it has been for our squad! Grace made so many wonderful new friends among the amazing girls on tour and played alongside some truly phenomenal athletes. So beyond proud of her grit, growth, and heart on the court! ❤️💪

UNBELIEVABLE CLUTCH WIN! 💥🔥
Talk about heart and grit! Coming in as the 8th seed against the Royals, Grace absolutely CARRIED us through a wild, down-to-the-wire battle.
She had to step up for back-to-back mixed doubles matches—and she delivered! Taking both matches to push us to a massive victory and keep our playoff run alive! Having the Pros from The Fives come back out to the courts to cheer her on made the moment even sweeter.
Next stop: fighting for that bronze medal match! So proud of Grace and this team! 🥉🏆💪 #JuniorPickleball #ClutchPerformance #UnderdogRun #PickleballLife #TheFives by @robertkosednar

They say pickleball brings people together, and today it introduced Grace to someone truly special. Killer on the courts, but genuinely the sweetest person off of them. So glad they met! Let’s definitely keep the games going. 🙌😊 taken in Pickleball D-Joy Tour by @robertkosednar

Grace and her pickleball crew lit up the night at the Petronas Twin Towers! Such a fun group of girls — full of energy, laughter, and the kind of positivity that makes every moment better. Proud of Grace for surrounding herself with friends who are not only great on the court but even greater to be around off it.

Big day for our family — Tina, Grace, and I are kicking off an epic NJP Global Tour adventure through Kanpur, Malaysia, and Vietnam! We’re here at JFK bright and early after a nostalgic stay at the TWA Hotel, fired up for a long travel day ahead.

First stop: Salt Lake City. Then we settle into those spacious Delta One business seats and let the journey begin.

Huge thank you to Selkirk and Courtney at NJP for making this incredible opportunity possible. We appreciate you more than you know.
