About your pickleball coach

R Blaine Cochran Certified Pickleball Professional | Life & Performance Coach Mastering the game isn't just about drilling mechanics—it's about mastering the inner game. My coaching philosophy centers on CANI (Constant And Never-ending Improvement), guiding players from conscious effort to true unconscious competence, where athletic performance flows naturally without overthinking. With a deep background in competitive sports and a long history on the tennis court, I made the transition to pickleball five years ago and have been coaching dedicated players since 2022. As a certified professional life coach, I integrate advanced mindset training, self-awareness strategies, and pressure-management techniques into every session. Having coached over 1,200 students, I’ve seen firsthand how refining the mental game accelerates physical skill on the court. Whether through targeted mobility work, high-yield drills, structured leagues, or community-driven team events, my focus is on helping you build an unshakeable mechanical foundation while enjoying the process. Elevate Your Game: Core Technical & Mobility Training: Master high-efficiency footwork, fundamental mechanics, and court coverage. Mindset & Inner Game Coaching: Develop composure under pressure, sharp decision-making, and athletic flow. PB&J Community Events: Connect with driven players in a high-energy, fun, and competitive environment. Let’s work together to unlock your full potential on the court and enjoy every step of the journey.
