## Resource

Executive producer Mark Infante and pro pickleball star Anna Bright join Kate to talk about PARTNERS, the six-part Prime Video documentary series following the meteoric rise of the Professional Pickleball Association (PPA), the league that, in less than five years, has gone from scrappy upstart to the center of an international phenomenon.     Anna Bright is a former Division I tennis standout at UC Berkeley turned top-ranked PPA and MLP pro, known for her aggressive style, lethal two-handed backhand, and high-profile partnership with world No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters. She gives a rare inside look at life on tour: how the sport actually works, what sets it apart, the wild financial transformation of pro pickleball, and the rivalries and romances that make the league must-watch TV.        Reality Life with Kate Casey  What to Watch List: https://katecasey.substack.com   The Story Behind My Podcast: https://katecasey.substack.com/p/i-was-the-narrator-of-my-own-family   Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katecasey   Twitter: https://twitter.com/katecasey   Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/katecaseyca   Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itskatecasey?lang=en   Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/113157919338245   Amazon List: https://www.amazon.com/shop/katecasey   Like it to Know It: https://www.shopltk.com/explore/katecasey See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
