## Resource

Julie, Abby, and Billie Jean King sit down with pickleball phenom Anna Leigh Waters, the undisputed GOAT of the fastest-growing sport in America. She’s already out-earning the men, dominating singles, doubles, and mixed, and now she’s taking on tennis legends Andre Agassi and James Blake in a pickleball “Battle of the Sexes.” From turning pro at 12 to becoming the face of a global movement, Anna Leigh breaks down her rise, her mindset (hint: she talks to herself a lot), and why pickleball’s culture got something very right from the start: pay equity. Plus: WNBA chaos, a historic coaching hire in Europe, and a Party Starter stacked with headlines across women’s sports. Party People… this one’s different. And it’s just getting started.
