About

I help intermediate pickleball players figure out where their game is now and build a plan to get where they want to go. As a DUPR Coach, I can provide unrated players with an official initial DUPR rating through video assessment. From there, my coaching focuses on what’s actually holding your game back: strategy, shot selection, positioning, movement and execution. I’ve coached 200+ players in person and bring a NASM Certified Personal Trainer background to my approach, connecting your on-court game with the strength, mobility and movement needed to perform at a higher level.

Specializes in: Helping 3.0–3.5 players make the jump to 4.0+ and helping unrated players establish their first official DUPR rating. My coaching focuses on game analysis, decision-making, shot selection, positioning, transition-zone play, resets and attacking the right balls at the right time. I also incorporate pickleball-specific performance training including rotational strength and power, lateral movement, mobility, stability and deceleration. Whether you need to find out where your game stands or figure out what’s keeping you from the next level, the goal is the same: assess it, understand it, then build a plan to improve it.
