About DonaldWhether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or you’re ready to become a more confident and strategic player, I’d love to help you take the next step.
I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach with experience teaching players of different ages and skill levels. I’ve also served as a Pickleball Director, where I developed and led clinics, leagues, ladders, tournaments, DUPR events, mixers, and other pickleball programming.
My coaching philosophy is simple: understand the “why,” not just the “how.” We’ll work on technique, but I’ll also help you understand positioning, shot selection, court awareness, and strategy so your new skills actually translate into better play.
New to pickleball? We’ll build a strong foundation without making the game complicated. Already playing? We’ll identify the areas holding you back and build a lesson around what will make the biggest difference in your game.
Lessons can cover serving, returning, dinking, volleys, resets, third-shot drops, transition-zone play, doubles positioning, strategy, and match play.
Most importantly, lessons should be productive and fun. My goal is for you to leave every session knowing something you didn’t know before—and excited to get back on the court.Go to profileDonald F.From $95 per lesson

“A few years back my son was struck by lightning and was left with devastating injuries (SCI, nerve + muscle damage). He was in various clinics across the US doing intensive physical therapies for years. About 6 months ago we began training with Justen Smith (“Coach Jut”) with amazing results. Coach Jut combines his incredibly deep knowledge of how the human body works with a very comprehensive, consistent, purposeful approach to training I think very few trainers out there could match. We are truly grateful to have met him and would recommend him to *anyone* looking to overhaul/refine/accelerate their recovery or athletic training efforts.”Jeremiah B., parent
