By [Your Name]
In the vibrant world of pickleball, where competition meets camaraderie, Jen Rogers, the wife of French pickleball star Noe Khlif, is making waves not just as a supportive partner but as a passionate advocate for women in the sport. With her upcoming launch of ELN, a pickleball apparel line designed for women, by women, Rogers is on a mission to amplify the voices and visibility of female players.
“Women are the heartbeat and soul of pickleball, and they are the heartbeat and souls of their families,” Rogers passionately declared. Always by Noe’s side during tournaments, she embodies the spirit of support and empowerment, cheering him on while simultaneously carving out her own identity in the pickleball community.
As a mother of three and a certified pro pickleball WAG (Wives and Girlfriends), Rogers understands the delicate balance of motherhood and personal ambition. “In motherhood, I kind of lost myself. You can lose your spark a little bit,” she reflected. “I saw making this brand as a way to give back to myself and show my kids that mom’s chasing her dreams. If I can, they can too.”
Rogers is not just focused on her own aspirations; she is also dedicated to shining a spotlight on the women in pickleball who often go unnoticed. “This is just my way to give back to the women of the sport,” she said. “I want to uplift those on tour who can get flack for being vocal on the court, like Kate Fahey, Rachel Rohrabacher, and Anna Leigh Waters. They have every right to fight for their game and their spots. Let them roar!”
Her commitment to the sport deepened after becoming a mother. “There’s something deeper when you’re a pickleball player and a mom,” she noted. “I see the pros like Brooke Buckner, Callie Smith, and Julie Johnson. There’s so much work that goes unnoticed, and I want to change that. I want the women—especially the moms—to feel seen.”
Rogers believes that the journey of finding a sport where one can rediscover themselves while managing family responsibilities is a narrative that deserves celebration. “So many people don’t see the ins and outs of what it’s like to find a sport where you feel like yourself again,” she emphasized. “These women need to be celebrated, and I want to be a part of that.”
As the pickleball community continues to grow, Jen Rogers stands at the forefront, not just as a supportive spouse but as a trailblazer for women in the sport. With her fashion-forward vision and unwavering dedication, she is set to inspire a new generation of female athletes to chase their dreams both on and off the court.
