About your pickleball coach
I am a current collegiate pickleball player for the University of Texas at Dallas. I have a 4.0+ DUPR rating and have competitive tournament experience. I excel in teaching the 3.0-3.5 range in getting to the next level. With no prior racquet sport experience, I have a unique perspective on the sport. I also am well aware of tennis players transitioning over and can teach the nuances of pickleball in a way tennis players can understand.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor beginners there are two categories: one that has no racquet sport experience and those who have. For the ones that have not had racquet sport experience it is important to learn grip and proper ground strokes. For the racquet sport beginners we can start with some of the common mistakes made by their previous sport transitioning into pickle.
Lesson 11+Being comfortable with transition and recognizing when to attack
Lesson 4-10Touch and soft game. Yes I will teach you how to dink lol. Talk about how to dink w aggression and defensive and focus on certain patterns.
Lesson 2-3Learning to be aggressive. Too many people are taught the soft game early on in my opinion. Volleys and ground strokes normally win at the 2.5-3.5 level.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonDo my warmup drill (front facing dinking, cross court dinking, hands, transition, and 3 alive) to assess strengths and weaknesses in their game.
Lesson 11+Continue fundamental work while implementing strategy with a purpose
Lesson 4-10Strategy and recognizing opponent patterns. While elevating fundamentals to a higher level
Lesson 2-3Work on what weak points were with specific drill catered to the drill.
