EVERY SPORT
LEAVES A MARK.

I’m Step Harmon, the founder of Pickleballer.world, an advanced pickleball player and a PIPR-certified trainer with a deep background in racket sports, from tennis to racquetball.

But my game comes from more than a racket. As a former martial artist and baseball player, I’ve found that those experiences have helped me become a more versatile, well-rounded pickleball player.

I started Pickleballer because the sport I love deserved a magazine that treats it like the major sport it has become: every result, every storyline and every player worth knowing, every morning.

Why I started Pickleballer
My philosophy
“The foundation is important, but so are your unique talents and abilities.”

I love playing, learning and following the pro game. Pickleballer brings all three together.
