Nikki Maldonado is the creator behind PickleballNikki, a brand on a mission to keep pickleball joyful. As the ultimate intermediate — the bridge between beginners who just fell in love with the game and advanced players who forgot why they started — Nikki doesn't teach skills. She protects the soul of the sport. Through content that talks WITH people, not AT them, she's building a movement to ensure joy isn't just a phase in pickleball — it's the point.

Pickleball. Joy. Forever.
