MEET YOUR COACH

Meet Coach Lori – Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m a PPR, IPEC, and IPTPA Triple-Certified Pickleball Instructor, IPTPA Certified Rating Specialist, PPA Tour Bronze Medalist, founder of The Pickleball Project, and I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping intermediate women players break through their plateau by coaching the whole player — technique, movement, mindset, and confidence — especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

What makes me different from virtually every coach you’ll encounter? I don’t just teach pickleball. With 30 years as a strength trainer, certified life and health coach, I understand how bodies move, how minds limit performance, and how confidence transforms players at every level. My “Chaos to Clarity” method and The Pickleball Project curriculum are built around that complete understanding — and the results speak for themselves.

My Credentials

PPR Certified Coach — the official certification partner of USA Pickleball

IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructor — International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association

PPA Tour Bronze Medalist — 4.0 (35+) bracket, 24-team competitive field (October 2023)

Founder of The Pickleball Project — specialized training combining technical skills with mental performance strategies

Known for creating high-energy, fun environments where players leave empowered, confident, and connected

IPEC Certified Coach — International Pickleball Executive Council

IPTPA Certified Rating Specialist — officially qualified to assess player skill levels

4.0-4.5 tournament competitor — multiple gold, silver, and bronze medals across tournaments

"Chaos to Clarity" method — signature approach to converting overwhelmed intermediate players into confident, tactical competitors

Specialist in lob retrieval, "disarming the banger," mental toughness training, and advanced kitchen games

My story: I got started during the COVID shutdown when a friend invited me to play on a private court. From the very first game, I was completely hooked — the competition, the community, the fun. It was unlike anything I’d experienced. I threw myself into the game, competed at the 4.0-4.5 level across tournaments, earned a Bronze Medal at a PPA Tour event in a 24-team 4.0 field, and built The Pickleball Project to bring everything I’d learned — about pickleball and about coaching human performance — to players who deserved more than just technical instruction.

My approach: I coach the whole player — not just technique, but movement, mindset, and body awareness. What I love most is helping people rediscover their confidence — especially those who haven’t played a competitive sport in years. I focus on highlighting the positive, creating community, and fostering environments where players feel genuinely supported.

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 leveling up their game.

Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:

I bring four certifications including IPTPA Rating Specialist status, PPA Tour competitive credentials, and a signature “Chaos to Clarity” coaching methodology — all focused on helping intermediate players unlock the complete game that’s been waiting inside them.

But here’s what I’m MOST focused on: Purposeful, confidence-building drilling.

Not boring, repetitive drilling — but strategically designed drilling that builds both technical precision and mental composure simultaneously. The kind where you hit balls repeatedly with a four-certified coach who understands movement, mindset, and mechanics watching and correcting every rep. The kind that creates those immediate “a-ha!” moments that show up in your very next match.

I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.

On June 18th, I’m bringing this uniquely holistic, technically precise coaching to intermediate players ready to break through in Blackwood.

WHY WE'RE OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

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 coach watches and corrects every rep, technically and mentally.

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 afternoon.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

REMEMBER THE LAST TIME YOU WALKED OFF THE COURT FRUSTRATED?

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 June 18th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, 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.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Saturday, June 20th (Two Days After Camp)

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 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.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY WALK AWAY WITH (The Real Outcomes)

You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself

I’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy.

You'll Meet Your New Women's Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

I’ll connect you with other passionate women players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.

You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation

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.

You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back

I’ll help you identify the technical flaws that are currently limiting your game. When I show you exactly how to fix them — with the precision of a four-certified coach who understands not just technique but movement, mindset, and body awareness — the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.

Most women players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.

You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game

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 June 18th, 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.

Absolutely! You don’t need a DUPR rating. The DUPR range (3.0-3.5) is simply to help you understand who this camp is designed for.

I've done camps before and didn't improve much. Why will this be different?

Because I coach the whole player — not just technique. My “Chaos to Clarity” method addresses the technical, physical, and mental dimensions of improvement that most camps completely ignore. I hold four certifications including IPTPA Rating Specialist status, I’ve competed at the PPA Tour level. Every drill has a purpose. Every correction addresses root causes, not just symptoms. And you walk away with lifetime community access and ongoing coaching support. It’s a completely different experience.
