Push your peak higher
Helping you accelerate your development and push your peak higher.
After training and competing in pickleball since 2019 and obtaining my Level 2 NCCP pickleball coaching certification in early2024, I decided to combine my 20 years of tennis coaching experience with my pickleball experience and start Elwood Pickleball Coaching. My goal is to help pickleball players of all ages and abilities improve their performance in a safe, encouraging, positive, challenging, and predictable environment that fosters growth, autonomy, self-belief, excellence, and fulfillment.
By combining my last 5 years of pickleball training and competition experience with 20 years of full-time tennis coaching experience, I strive to be the best coach I can be for my students by recognizing the uniqueness of each individual and by continuously learning and reflecting on my experiences and abilities.

Improve Performance
Identify your starting point
Globally evaluate your competency and skill levels (tactical, technical, psychological, and physical) in order to define your priorities.
Train your priorities
Once your training priorities are identified, you’ll work to train and develop your tactical, technical, psychological, and physical skills using a game-based approach.
Compete
Whether competing recreationally or competitively, the ultimate goal of working with a coach is to improve performance in a competition or game setting.
Evaluate and Reevaluate
How we peform in competition is the ultimate measure of our current level of competency. Competing allows us to evaluate our progress and reevaluate our priorities on an ongoing basis.
Coaching and Tranining Options
Individual Coaching
1 on 1 coaching allows for optimal observation, feedback, specificity, and volume with an individualized approach tailored specifically to the player’s needs.
Semi-Private or Small Group Coaching
Semi-Private coaching (2-4 players) allows for a tailored approach to meet the group’s goals and objectives while still allowing for individualized observation and feedback.
Custom Group Training and Camps
If you’re looking for a specialized clinic or camp customized to fit your group or club’s needs, I would be happy to work together to provide a top notch experience.
Remote and Online Coaching
If training together in person isn’t an option, I can work with individuals remotely to provide training plans and priorities based on video analysis.
