That's a surprise and you'll get that after the camp.
I'm a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach, a 4.5-level competitive player, a 13-year pickleball veteran, and one of Richmond's most uniquely credentialed coaches.
I've dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping higher intermediate players understand this game at a deeper level, through smart terminology and memorable concepts… especially players like you in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
My approach: Every player is different, which is why I spend time listening, understanding where you're struggling, and tailoring each lesson to what will help you most.
Over the years, I've created my own terminology, acronyms, and sayings to help students remember basic but important pickleball concepts that pay dividends for years if followed.
Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court… I'll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.
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.
Meet Your New Competitive Crew
This isn't a casual introduction. Within 15 minutes, you'll know everyone's competitive background, tournament experience, and what they're working on. You'll exchange contact information and tournament schedules, because serious players train together.

Most higher intermediate camps spend too much time explaining and not enough time competing.
I'm different.
Here's my philosophy: Championship Systems = Championship Results
You don't break into true 4.0 play by listening to lectures about court positioning. And you don't get there by hitting the same feed a hundred times in a straight line either. You get there by solving real game problems, at match speed, while a coach watches and guides your reps.
Because at this tier, the difference between you and the player who beats you isn't whether you know the shot. It's whether you find the right one automatically, under pressure, without thinking.
That moment when you read a serve before it lands and you're already moving into position.
That feeling when you set up an attackable ball through pure patience and pattern, and then put it away.
That instant when a coach fires balls at you in rapid succession, and your hands just respond. No hesitation, no panic, just clean execution.
You don't need weeks to feel that shift. You feel it right there on the court, that same afternoon.
That's why championship-level drilling is the heartbeat of this camp. Not because intensity is impressive on its own, but because solving real problems at real speed is the only way to build the kind of reflexive, pressure-proof game that separates a strong 3.5 from a true 4.0 competitor.
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 24.
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 regular court for your weekly game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
"What happened to you?"
Your court positioning is perfect. You're always in the right place at the right time. Your decision-making is sharp. You're not just hitting good shots; you're constructing points. At the kitchen line, you're creating opportunities before your opponents can anticipate them.
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 positioning and shot selection instead of power. You'll win more points on less energy, and your opponents will work twice as hard for half the results. This is especially important for us 50+ players: you'll learn to play smarter, not harder.
I'll connect you with other serious players at your exact 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. Drive or drop? Your body knows. Speed up or reset? You're already committed. The lob goes up, and you're executing before you finish thinking about it.
I'll help you identify the patterns that are quietly capping your game, and then I'll give you something to hold on to.
When I show you which pattern is costing you and give you the shorthand to remember the fix, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.
Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You'll correct yours in a single afternoon.
I'll show you how good you can actually be. You'll leave buzzing with competitive energy, already planning your next match or tournament.
Remember when you first broke into the higher levels and couldn't wait to play every day? If that fire has been smoldering lately…
On October 24, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally execute the shots you've been working on under real match pressure, that's when the obsession returns.
