About the Author
After receiving his PhD in physical education from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in 1968, Martens was a member of its faculty for 16 years. A past president of the National Academy of Kinesiology, he has been recognized for his contribution to sport by the National Recreation and Park Association and by his induction into the National Association for Sport and Physical Education Hall of Fame. He has received Distinguished Alumni awards from Hutchinson High School, Emporia State University in Kansas (where he earned a bachelor’s degree), the University of Montana (where he earned a master’s degree), and the University of Illinois.
Rainer played slowpitch softball for 45 years and coached the most successful senior slowpitch team in the United States, the Florida Legends. In 2009, he was inducted into the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame.
Rainer began playing pickleball in 2016 after retiring from slowpitch softball. He has won several national championships and, along with Julie, his wife of 30 years, has built Pictona, a 49-court pickleball facility in Holly Hill, Florida, which is widely acclaimed as the best pickleball facility in the country. As part of their philanthropic efforts, Rainer and Julie donated the facility to the City of Holly Hill. They also helped launch a community center next to Human Kinetics in Champaign, Illinois, which carries their name: the Martens Center.
Rainer is an avid wildlife and landscape photographer, traveling the world in pursuit of the unusual and exotic. Rainer and Julie live in Ormond Beach, Florida.
