Amanda Hendry has always been driven by her passion for sports, fueling her desire to compete at the highest level. Her impressive sports career began as a field hockey goalie, where she played for the U17 and U19 National Teams.

Throughout her time on the team, she contributed to three NCAA Championships and four ACC Championships, solidifying her status as an exceptional athlete. She was also honored with the title of NCAA 1st team All-American.

While pursuing her field hockey career at UNC, Amanda stumbled upon pickleball. Initially, she played recreationally with her friends, but it wasn't until after her graduation and departure from field hockey that she decided to take pickleball more seriously. In just two short years, Amanda has shown remarkable success in the sport. She currently ranks in the top 10 for both women's doubles and women's singles on the APP Tour.

Outside of her competitive endeavors on the pickleball tour, Amanda also finds fulfillment in coaching within her own community at PGA Verano. She sees coaching as an opportunity to give back to the sport she loves and to foster its growth.
