Megan Fudge is a professional pickleball player, coach, and global ambassador for the sport, known for her fierce competitiveness on the court and her passion for growing the game worldwide. A former collegiate tennis player at University of Illinois , Megan transitioned to pickleball and has since made history as the record holder for the most pro medals on the APP Tour, with over 70 podium finishes in singles, doubles, and mixed events. 

Her journey has taken her across the globe—from the U.S. to India, Vietnam, China, Germany, and beyond—competing, coaching, and helping shape the next generation of players through clinics, exhibitions, and international partnerships. 

Megan travels full-time with her husband, fellow pro Ryler DeHeart, and their two kids, Lily and JR, who also compete in tournaments and share their parents’ love for the sport. Together, they live a unique, adventurous life on the road in their RV—homeschooling, training, and experiencing cultures around the world through pickleball. 

Beyond competition, Megan is a passionate storyteller, using her platform to inspire others by sharing her journey through blogs, vlogs, and social media. Her commitment to excellence, family, and community defines her not just as a top athlete, but as a role model for those chasing bold dreams—on and off the court.
