When people ask me what I do for a living, they kind of look at me funny when I tell them that I am a full-time pickleball coach; like it's not a real job or there's no way I can possibly make enough money doing that...but it is, and I do. For the past 4 years I have done nothing but eat, sleep, and breathe the game of pickleball. I started playing like so many did when COVID hit in 2020. Early on I discovered that I could be a really great player if I worked hard and dedicated time to improving. As I got better, I fell in love with the tactics and mental approach to the game of pickleball. This is what also drove me to pursue a full time coaching career in the sport. I grew up playing Baseball, Basketball and Golf, but never found the motivation to reach my best in playing those sports. Pickleball offered something different and helped pull the competitive drive back out of me. I wanted to accomplish something greater for myself...and that's what I offer my students as well. I consider myself a great coach with the ability to develop great players. If you are serious about improving your game with hard work and discipline, I will work with you to help you reach your goals. You can email me or reach out through my website, but I would love to speak with you about the things you hope to achieve in your game; that's why I'll leave my phone number here for you to access when you are ready to commit. Call me, you won't regret it! 706.799.2872
