About your pickleball coach
1. Why I’m the Best I’m a PPR-certified pickleball coach with three years of coaching experience and a strong background in education and athletics. I break the game down so it makes sense, meeting players where they are and building on their strengths to create a strong foundation. ⸻ 2. Clear, Confident, Concise I communicate in a way that meets each player’s needs. Instruction is simple and direct so players understand positioning, shot selection, and how to apply it during play. ⸻ 3. Authentic – Just Be You I’ve always been a teacher. I enjoy guiding players, creating structure, and building skills so they feel comfortable as they learn the game.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe begin with introductions so I can understand each player’s background, experience, and any injuries to ensure a safe and comfortable session. A dynamic warm-up follows to prepare the body and reduce risk of injury.
From there, I observe players in a live, game-based setting to assess movement, coordination, and natural tendencies. Instruction focuses on core fundamentals at the Non-Volley Zone, including positioning, efficient movement, and controlled dinking. My goal is to build confidence quickly while helping players feel successful on the court from day one.
Lesson 11+Lessons become more personalized and performance-driven based on each player’s goals.
Focus may include:
* Advanced shot selection and strategy
* Expanding shot variety (volleys, lobs, resets, overheads)
* Improving efficiency, footwork, and reaction time
* Game awareness, anticipation, and competitive readiness
Players are challenged through game-based scenarios that simulate real match conditions, allowing them to confidently apply their skills in play.
Lesson 4-10At this stage, players develop stronger consistency and begin refining strategy.
Focus includes:
* Shot accuracy and placement (short, deep, cross-court)
* Transition play and decision-making
* Introduction to third shot options (drop or drive)
* Court positioning and awareness in doubles play
Lessons combine skill development with realistic gameplay, helping players become more confident, consistent, and effective during matches.
Lesson 2-3These sessions build consistency and confidence through structured drills and guided gameplay.
Players focus on:
* Improving contact point and paddle control
* Movement and positioning at the Non-Volley Zone
* Transitioning from the baseline to the net
* Developing consistency with controlled shots and placement
Players begin applying these skills in real-time play so they can immediately see progress in their game.
Youth players
Working with kidsI adapt my lessons for kids by keeping them active, engaged, and learning through play. I use simple, clear instruction combined with fun, game-based drills so they can build skills naturally without feeling overwhelmed. Safety, confidence, and positive reinforcement are always the priority, helping each child feel successful while developing coordination, control, and a love for the game.
Working with teenagersWhen working with teenagers, I focus on skill development, strategy, and real game application. Lessons are structured but interactive, allowing players to stay engaged while improving consistency, movement, and shot selection. I challenge them at their level, build confidence through repetition and competition, and create an environment where they can grow their game while still enjoying the process.
