Hi, I'm Coach Jack Laney – Your Guide To Championship-Level Performance

I’m a PPR Certified Instructor who was introduced to pickleball by a friend eight years ago, a friend who knew I’d love this game. And he was right; I was obsessed immediately, especially when I discovered this was a game of finesse over power.

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping higher intermediate players unlock the thinking side of pickleball at the championship level, because that’s the layer most 3.5 players are missing, and it’s the one that creates the biggest breakthrough toward 4.0 and beyond… especially for players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

MY CREDENTIALS:

PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor

Competitive 4.5 to 5.0 bracket player — active in regional DUPR pools and Kansas City team leagues

4-Time National Senior Games Medalist

National Senior Games Gold Medal — 4.5/5.0 Mixed Doubles division

20+ medals at the local and regional competitive level

8 years of competitive pickleball experience

Multi-sport background — bringing deep athletic development experience to every session

My approach: Most coaching focuses on technique. I coach the thinking layer underneath it. 

Pickleball is a patience game. It rewards the player who knows what to do before the ball arrives, not the one who reacts after it does. After years as a tournament player competing in the 4.5 to 5.0 bracket, I get to do what I love most: share the nuances of this game with higher intermediate players who are ready to see it differently. 

My goal in every session is to turn on that light for you. And when it clicks, when a player finally sees the court the way I see it, the enthusiasm is contagious every single time.

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 competitive edge that defines 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.

Why We Are Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)

Most higher intermediate camps spend too much time talking and not enough time executing at championship intensity.

I’m different.

Here’s my philosophy: Championship Systems = Championship Results

You don’t reach 4.0 by listening to explanations about drive vs. drop decisions. You reach 4.0 by making those decisions repeatedly, under pressure, while a 4-time National Senior Games medalist and 4.5 to 5.0 bracket competitor 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 read the return before it bounces and your third shot lands exactly where you intended.

That rush when your opponent speeds up and you reset it cleanly, right back into the kitchen.

That feeling when you see the pattern developing and you’re already in position before they even swing.

You don’t have to wait weeks to feel the difference. You feel it immediately. Right there on the court.

That’s why drilling at championship intensity is the heartbeat of this camp. Because the gap between 3.5 and 4.0 isn’t physical, it’s tactical. And tactics are built through purposeful, high-pressure repetition.

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 the pattern you saw but didn’t execute on?

…watching players you know you’re better than walk away with the win?

…feeling that gap between the competitive player you are and the champion you know you could be?

That feeling ends on September 26.

Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your reads will be faster. Your decisions will come earlier. Your execution will be sharper. And the next time you play, your regular opponents will immediately notice something has shifted.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, September 28 (Two Days After Camp)

You walk onto your local court for your regular competitive game.

As soon as you start warming up, your regular opponents look over.

“What happened to you?”

Your serves are landing with placement and purpose, pulling opponents out of position before the rally even starts. Your third shot decision is made before the return leaves their paddle. At the kitchen line, you’re dictating rallies with patterns 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 With Intelligence, Not Just Athleticism

I’ll teach you how to win through court positioning, pattern development, and shot selection, the championship systems that hold up under tournament pressure. You’ll stop relying on power and start playing like a 4.0.

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

I’ll connect you with other serious players at your exact level. You’ll exchange numbers, tournament schedules, and join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, staying permanently connected with everyone you meet.

You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Competitive Situation

I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you matches. Should you drive or drop? You already know. When do you create the ATP opportunity? You’re setting it up. How do you handle the speed-up? You’re resetting before they finish swinging.

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

I’ll help you identify the tactical patterns that are quietly limiting your competitive ceiling. When I show you exactly how to fix them, with the precision of a 4-time National Senior Games medalist, an Exercise Science degree, and a coaching philosophy built around the thinking layer most coaches never teach, the situations that used to frustrate you suddenly become your weapons.

Most higher intermediate players plateau at the same ceiling for years. You’ll break through yours in a single afternoon.

You'll Reignite The Competitive Fire You Had When You First Started Winning

I’ll show you how good you can actually become. You’ll leave energized, laser-focused, and already planning your next competitive session.

Remember when you first started winning matches you weren’t supposed to win? When the game felt electric? If that feeling has been fading lately…

On September 26, it comes roaring back.

Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true championship potential, when you finally break through that plateau, that’s when the obsession returns.
