My pickleball journey
My pickleball journey began on a Tuesday night in 2018. I arrived with no idea how to play, rules, scoring or anything. The first pickleball I swung at with a wood paddle I missed. Badly!
I was used to tennis and a ball that bounced. Undeterred, I came back the next Tuesday and started asking about more nights to play. The pickleball addiction had set in. Along the way, I was lucky enough to find great friends and partners who wanted to drill and play as much as I did.
By 2020 I had traveled extensively, played in twenty states and competed in numerous tournaments. Yet, I knew what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be. I began spending most of my days coaching and I became a licensed instructor. Teaching the game of pickleball to every level of player is my passion.
I am very blessed and have been lucky enough to spend time with several pickleball professionals and have learned so much from them. From drills, strategy and winning mentality, I owe them a great deal!
Pickleball has given me so much. Through lessons, clinics and Famous By Friday, I hope to return all knowledge and experience I have obtained through the years.
