About your pickleball coach

Are you ready to learn how to play pickleball? Take your pickleball game to the next level? Host an epic pickleball corporate party or team-building event? Look no further, as I am here to guide you through an exhilarating journey on the court. With an impressive record of 13 tournament victories under my belt in events up to the 5.0 level, I am thrilled to offer you the opportunity to join my highly sought-after pickleball corporate events, clinics, and private lessons! Pickleball, the fastest-growing sport in the country, has captivated players of all ages and skill levels. As a certified instructor and tournament player, I have experienced the thrill of competition firsthand and developed a profound understanding of the game's intricacies. With my proven expertise and strategic insight, I am eager to help you unlock your full potential and elevate your pickleball skills to new heights! Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 2 months after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament. Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now forever

Dan was so great! He was super patient and assessed my skills and gave me some drills to work on to improve my game. Definitely recommend him and will be signing up for more lessons!

I recently had the pleasure of taking a pickleball session with Dan, and it was nothing short of incredible. From the outset, Dan impressed me with his meticulous attention to detail tailored to my personal skill level. Unlike other trainers who may solely focus on the ball's trajectory, Dan's approach was refreshingly different. He emphasized the importance of my body's movement, ensuring that my posture, footwork, and coordination were in harmony. This focus on the fundamentals has already made a significant difference in my gameplay. Dan has an exceptional eye for detail and it’s evident in the way he corrects and guides through each motion, from the placement of my feet to the swing of my arms, every adjustment was purposeful. For anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills, Dan is the trainer you need. His personalized approach will not only refine your technical skills but will also enhance your overall gameplay. I couldn't recommend him more highly!

A MUST while you are in Austin! Dan and Pickleball Playmakers hosted a group event for us to celebrate our friend getting married. Coordinating a day-time activity for a group of 15 guys could not have been easier with Dan and Pickleball Playmakers. The rooftop location was a major perk, but I imagine the other locations would have been just as amazing. Dan set up a lesson and tournament for our group so we all got to play against one another. Dan both coached and coordinated the event. He was very accommodating to our group size and was able to work with individuals of all skill levels. Whether you are looking for a break from bachelor/bachelorette celebrations, a corporate/teambuilding activity, or just a fun family and friends event, I would highly recommend Pickleball Playmakers.
