Prior to this, he had been involved in various sports, including lacrosse, baseball, basketball, and football, but found his true passion in pickleball. His rapid progression was evident when, in his first tournament in January 2019, he secured three gold medals, marking a significant milestone in his early career.

This success fueled his determination to pursue the sport professionally, leading him to homeschool in sixth grade to accommodate his rigorous training and tournament schedule. By 2022, Wyatt had achieved a 5. 0 skill level, a testament to his dedication and hard work.

In 2023, he transitioned into professional play, participating in over 90 tournaments and earning 84 medals, showcasing his rapid ascent in the competitive scene. His achievements include a gold medal at the 2023 Takeya Showcase and a PPA Grand Slam victory in 2024, solidifying his status as a rising star in the pickleball world.
