A Special Camp Surprise There is one more gift waiting for you at camp.
I'm a PPR Certified Pickleball Professional, a 4.9 DUPR-rated competitive player, and an international pickleball instructor who has taught on courts around the world.
I've dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping intermediate players develop the shot selection, court IQ, and competitive confidence that turn a solid 3.0 into a true 4.0… especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
My approach: Every intermediate player I coach gets the same starting point: an explanation of exactly why a shot works and when to use it, before we run a single rep.
That understanding is what allows players to coach themselves during live play, making adjustments mid-match without waiting for a coach to tell them what went wrong.
It is also why I spend part of my time teaching other instructors how to teach. When you have to explain a concept clearly enough for another coach to use it, you learn very quickly how to make it land for a player.
Whether you want to sharpen your competitive game, prepare for tournament play, improve your DUPR, or simply dominate your local courts… I'll help you play with the intelligence, precision, and consistency that define a true 4.0 player.
Players who train with me experience complete game transformations.
They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power.
They understand the mental game.
They play multiple times a week with energy.
They build lasting friendships while improving their game together.
Dynamic warm-up designed to prepare you for the session and get your body ready to move.

Most intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
I'm different.
Here's my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation
You don't get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting third shot drops repeatedly, while a PPR Certified Professional who competes at 4.9 DUPR watches and guides your reps.
And here's the truth about why I'm obsessed with drilling:
Because let's be honest, we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don't we?
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle, and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you, and you put it away cleanly.
You don't have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
That's why drilling is the heartbeat of my intermediate camps. Not because I think it's good for you (though it is), but because it's incredibly satisfying to watch yourself go from "I keep making that mistake" to "I just fixed it!" in a single morning .
You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That feeling ends on October 11.
Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.
You walk onto your local court for your regular game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
"What happened to you?"
Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you're already reading where the ball is going. Your third-shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you're controlling rallies with patience and precision they've never seen from you before.
By the third game, they're asking what you did. By the fifth game, they're asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they're asking if you can teach them.
That's the difference between who you are right now and who you'll be after the camp.
And it all starts the moment you register, because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
I'll teach you to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power. You'll win more points on less energy. This is especially important for us 50+ players: you'll learn to play smarter, not harder.
I'll connect you with other passionate players at your exact skill level. You'll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.
I'll eliminate the hesitation that's been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You're already moving. How do you handle the lob? You're executing before you finish thinking about it.
I'll help you identify the technical flaws that are currently limiting your game, but I'll do something most camps don't. I'll tell you why the fix works.
That matters more than it sounds. If you only know what to change, you can repeat it for an afternoon. If you understand why the paddle angle matters, why the split step has to happen before their contact, why this ball is attackable and that one isn't, you can correct yourself in the middle of a match next Tuesday with nobody standing there telling you.
That is the whole difference between a lesson and a habit. I spend part of my career teaching other coaches how to explain this clearly, and you get the benefit of that all day.
Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You'll correct yours in a single session.
I'll show you how good you can actually be. You'll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next time on the court.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn't wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…
On October 11, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau, that's when the obsession returns.
Most camps charge hefty prices and send you home with nothing but memories. We're giving you a complete transformation system for life:
