But her greatest discovery didn't happen on the court.\n\nIn this episode of This Is Life, SportsLife host Jimmy Page talks with Megan about the hidden pressures of elite competition, the struggles behind her athletic achievements, and the faith journey that changed how she sees success.\n\nMegan reveals why she wishes she'd found her identity in Christ earlier, how she learned to let go of losses without losing her competitive fire, and why she believes parents and coaches must look beyond rankings, scholarships, and championships.\n\nShe also shares the surprising reason she and her husband stopped competing together, what raising two children on the professional pickleball circuit has taught their family, and how she's using her platform to encourage women and girls around the world.\n\nIf you're an athlete, coach, parent, or leader who's ever struggled with the pressure to perform, this conversation is for you.\nYour performance can change overnight. Your worth doesn't have to.\n\nSubscribe to This Is Life for more powerful conversations at the intersection of faith, sport, and leadership."}
