Hi, I am Coach Diego Liberczuk — Your Guide To Building The Right Pickleball Foundation

I’m a PPR Certified Pickleball Coach who has played and coached across seven countries over 14 years.

Students I coached years ago still message me about a phrase or concept that transformed their game… that’s the standard I hold every session to.

When I first picked up a paddle, I competed against players 20 years my age. That experience taught me immediately: this sport is a great equalizer, and with the right coaching, anyone can improve faster than they think.

I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping advanced beginner players like you build the correct foundation that creates lasting improvement on the court. Especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

My Credentials

PPR Certified Pickleball Coach — Professional Pickleball Registry

14 years of pickleball experience

International coaching footprint — played and coached in 7 countries: the US, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Puerto Rico, and Australia

5 years of dedicated coaching experience

4.5-level competitive player — active high amateur competitor

My students have earned 1st and 2nd-place finishes in tournament categories

My approach: I coach differently from most instructors, and there are three specific reasons why.

First, I build understanding through language. I’ve spent years creating original terminology, concepts, and acronyms that make key lessons immediately clear and permanently memorable.

Second, I coach the individual, not the group. My sessions start with listening and observing. I identify the specific habits holding each player back, not the general mistakes that affect everyone.

Third, I focus on joint-friendly mechanics. I want every player I coach to still be playing at 70, 80, and beyond.

Put all three together, and you get something most beginner camps never offer: instruction that’s immediately clear, personally targeted, and built to last.

So, if 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.

WHY I'M OBSESSED WITH DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)

Most advanced beginner camps give you a lot of information and not enough repetition.

I’m different.

Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence

You don’t learn pickleball by listening to explanations. You learn by actually doing it, repeatedly, with an international coach who has built a proprietary teaching system, watching every rep and building the kind of muscle memory that holds up in real games.

And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with foundation-first drilling:

Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when we try something new, and it actually WORKS, don’t we?

That moment when your dink lands softly in the kitchen, every time.

That rush when your serve goes in deep and consistently.

That feeling when you rally back and forth with real control.

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

That’s why purposeful drilling is the heartbeat of my advanced beginner camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch someone go from “I can’t do this” to “I just did that!” in a single afternoon.

Player Stories

See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.

REMEMBER FEELING LIKE YOU WERE STUCK AT THE SAME LEVEL?

You know that moment when you see people playing pickleball and think…

…“I can’t reach that level”?

…“I’m not athletic enough”?

…“Everyone else can rally better than me”?

That feeling ends on July 25th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, you’ll know exactly what you need to do to get to 3.0. You’ll have drilled the right fundamentals the right way. And you’ll have a coach, a community, and a clear roadmap to get there.

IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, July 27th (Two Days After Camp)

You show up to your regular open play session.

As soon as you start warming up, something feels different.

Your serve is going in. Your dinks are landing soft. You’re getting to the kitchen.

The players around you notice. Someone asks if you’ve been taking lessons. You tell them you went to a camp, and watched everything click in a single afternoon.

By the end of the session, they’re asking you where they can sign up.

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.

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

You'll Have the Fundamentals That Take You to 3.0

I’ll teach you the specific skills, serving, returning, dinking, volleying, and positioning that define the 3.0 player. Not just the theory. The actual reps, the correct form, the muscle memory that holds up in real games.

You'll Meet Your New Playing 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 Stop Guessing and Start Knowing

I’ll eliminate the uncertainty that’s been holding you back. Should you dink or drive? You’ll know. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the fast ball? You’re ready.

You'll Build the Habits That Hold Up Under Pressure

I’ll make sure every rep in this camp builds the right habits, not the ones that feel okay now but break down under pressure. My analytical background means I identify each player’s specific mechanical issues with precision rather than guessing, and then I fix them with joint-friendly, body-safe techniques designed to keep you on the court for decades.

You'll Fall in Love with This Game All Over Again

I’ll show you how much fun pickleball becomes when you actually know what you’re doing. You’ll leave energized, excited, and already planning your next session.

On July 25th, the game clicks.

Because when your fundamentals are right, and your confidence is real, that’s when pickleball becomes everything it promised to be.
