"Amazing learning to get started with Pickelball

I hold an ACSM-CPT and a degree in exercise science, backed by D1 soccer and a year competing in Spain. After tearing my ACL twice, I earned a D1 offer post-injury and kept playing through recovery, giving me firsthand insight into injury prevention, return-to-play, and mental toughness that coursework alone can’t teach. I specialize in injury prevention and rehab as well as position specifics soccer skills, I’d love to bring that combination of education and lived experience to your program.
