Hi, I'm Coach Liam Krauss - Your Guide To Championship-Level Performance

I’m a PPR Certified Coach and a competitive pickleball player who has medaled at local, national, and international tournaments, winning gold medals in Spain and an undefeated singles gold in France.

And I’ve dedicated my coaching to one mission: helping advanced players break through their plateau and reach the next competitive level… especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond. I know exactly what separates 3.5 players from 4.0+ players, because I compete and coach at those levels every week.

What I bring to your game:

  • PPR Certified Pickleball Coach

  • 35+ tournament medals, including gold in Men’s Doubles and Mixed Doubles (Spain), undefeated Singles gold (France), and play at the USA Pickleball National Championships

  • 4.5+ competitive tournament player across local, national, and international divisions

  • International competitive experience — tournaments in Ireland, France, Spain, and Japan

My approach: I believe advanced players improve fastest when they understand not just the “what” but the “why” behind every shot and every positioning decision. I combine high-intensity, match-speed drilling with clear tactical frameworks so that every rep you take in camp translates directly into better performance the next time you step onto a competitive court.

So, 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.

Why We Are Obsessed With CHAMPIONSHIP-LEVEL DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most advanced camps still spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.

I’m different.

Here’s my philosophy: Elite Drilling = Championship Performance

You don’t elevate your game by reviewing concepts you already understand. You elevate it by executing those concepts repeatedly at match speed while a PPR Certified coach watches and guides your reps.

And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with drilling at the advanced level:

Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when a ball comes fast, and our body just handles it, don’t we?

That moment when you read your opponent’s speed-up before it arrives and put it away cleanly.

That rush when your third shot drop lands exactly where you need it, repeatedly, under pressure.

That feeling when you’re moving with complete court awareness and your opponents have nowhere to go.

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

That’s why championship drilling is the heartbeat of my advanced camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because there is nothing like the feeling of executing at your full potential, and watching your opponents realize they’re in a different kind of match.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The Court Knowing You Left Points Out There?

You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…

…thinking about the third shot you should have dropped but drove instead?

…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 September 26.

Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have shifted. Your footwork will respond differently. Your decision-making will be faster. And the next time you step onto a competitive court, your opponents will immediately notice something has changed.

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

You walk onto your regular pickleball court for your weekly competitive game.

As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.

“What happened to you?”

Your third shot drops are landing consistently, pulling opponents out of position before the rally even begins. At the kitchen line, you’re reading speed-ups before they arrive and resetting with a composure that rattles your opponents. Your movement is a half-step faster. Your shot selection is a decision ahead.

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, shot selection, and tactical patience, not power and hustle. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy. This is especially important for us 50+ players: you’ll learn to play smarter, not harder.

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

I’ll connect you with other passionate 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 speed up the dink rally? You’re already reading it. How do you handle the lob when you’re pulled wide? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.

You'll Fix The Technical Flaws That Have Been Capping Your Rating

I’ll help you identify the specific issues that are currently keeping you from breaking into 4.0+. When I show you exactly how to fix them, with the precision of a coach who competes at the advanced level. Most players at your level spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.

You'll Reignite The Competitive Fire You Had When You First Discovered This Game

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 advanced level and couldn’t wait to play every day? If that fire has been smoldering lately…

On September 26, it roars 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skill level is this camp for?

This camp is designed specifically for advanced players at the 3.5-4.0 level. Every drill, every tactical lesson, and every piece of coaching is calibrated for players who already understand the game and are ready to compete at the next level.

Absolutely. You don’t need a DUPR rating. The 3.5-4.0 range is simply to help you understand the competitive focus of this camp. If you’re an experienced player who wins regularly at the 3.5 level and is pushing toward 4.0+, you’re in exactly the right place.

Yes. I’m skilled at reading players and scaling instruction so everyone is challenged but never overwhelmed. Being at the lower end of the range means you’ll often leave with some of the biggest breakthroughs in the group.

Just bring your paddle, court shoes, athletic wear, protective eyewear (optional), water, some snacks, and a towel.

Definitely. With a maximum of 8 students, you’ll receive plenty of personalized feedback and individual attention throughout the camp. I pay close attention to each player’s specific technical tendencies and competitive patterns, and I adjust coaching in real time to get you the results that matter.

Immediately upon registration:

  • Perfect Guide eBook (instant download)
