Bio: I remember first hearing about the game from a family friend a few years back. I then saw some matches and thought this is an easy game made for senior citizens. I learned real fast how foolish I was. I went to a local park to try it out for the first time and took to it quickly. Gaining false confidence from this I was asked by some regulars to join them. Thinking to myself that it would not be hard to defeat some senior citizens and move on to some more competitive play with people closer in age and abilities. Let me tell you when I say these regulars showed me no mercy. They were hitting shots by me and blocking my hard drives right back. I was flabbergasted. I could not believe that I could barely muster a point against them. It didn’t matter who I played. Men, Women, Young, & Old, all had a turn in taking advantage of me. With my pride bruised & battered and thoroughly humbled by my beating, I vowed from that day on to NEVER be beaten by another grandma again lol 😂 . In all seriousness I fell in love with the game and have been addicted ever since. I’ve dedicated myself to getting better and showing others the joy that is Pickleball. It brings me great pleasure in helping others get better and achieving their goals. The hours spent helping friends and family and practicing is equally as enjoyable as playing it myself. The biggest treasure is teaching my eldest of 3 boys the game and playing with him. Hopefully I will be able to share the love and passion for the game with others. “Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life”, is what they say, right!

Bio: I was always an underdog and in high school two other guys had catching spots locked up and I had already tried pitching with success when they ran out of pitchers in my town league so I told the coach ( after taking to my dad , my mentor of sports ) and he let me try and cut me and told me I couldn’t break a pane of glass . Thst summer I struck out 7 of 9 batters in the all star game for my town league and sentior year he kept me however only pitched me in catholic league games and I had a 0.9 era yet he would not pitch me in the games that mattered ? He lit a fire in me to prove him wrong and I walked onto a 1984 Lasalle university team that was like none other and that team is still as funny as ever and on social media and we had a 25 year reunion at the college somewhat recently. I could see about using all the connections these guys have. Bobby McNally went pro and other guys we can talk to and getting all the connections we can. However i will be you and your families main connection , I love baseball. The best sport to play. If you also play football , I can get you connected to Jeff Jaworski his uncle Rom took the eagles to a Super Bowl throwing to guys like Mike quick. Jeff was a championship quarterback in high school until a car accident stopped his career. His uncle has lots of gold courses now and part of the sports dream we can connect into. I also played semi pro baseball and struck out 17 batters in one game simply because my team wouldn’t warm me up and I got angry and not my character plus I decided to just throw fastballs down the middle and told then you better be ready to field. My ball moved so much much that that worked great since my fastball moved mile a slider. They where waiving at flies. Anyway there is so much to tell you and it’s not all baseball drills it’s also diet and exercise and loving baseball for what it is and unlock the formula. Also they lasalle team made it one game from the college world series and the stories I have tell you about underdogs and how to have fun but also be laser focused. We ran on and off the field and when I got to semi pro they walked and I was shocked at that since I knew what it takes to win and this was not it . I can tell you how navigate better than I did and how to workout and how to eat is critical besides lots of drills and pitching workouts
I have taught championship pitchers and can teach you. I love the game.
Also focus, my dad told me about it , but like my MCSE teacher taught me , sometimes you have to have more than 1 teacher to explain to you the various concepts of a subject. For me it was a Vietnam vet and I put together what he taught me and my dad and that 17 strike out game was a combination of both. Plus he was a golf caddie and he taught me to play golf as well.
Ask me questions
I want to select a pitcher to give some of my time to and I want to see more championship pitchers
Florida in the winter has nice resorts like Wyndam and baseball continues all winter to double your training and experience can be priceless
We can discuss all this , get in touch with me asap
