My passion for pickleball is as much about teaching and sharing it as it is about enjoying the play. I’ve taught multi-week programs, clinics, weeklong courses, private & semi-private lessons, and co-instructed corporate events. I love exploring the game with new and recreational players who want to build confidence while having fun.

Outside of pickleball, I am an executive coach and mental skills consultant for leaders and high performers in the corporate world. (Curious about that side of my work? You can check that out-> here) Because of this, I have a deep interest in how people learn new ideas and skills.

When learning pickleball, it’s essential to develop strong fundamentals: techniques and strategies that form the foundation of your game. But just as important is building the mental side, even as a beginner. That includes developing focus, emotional intelligence, and the skill of learning how to learn.

Because when your mental game levels up, your whole game does too.
