My Approach
Every advanced-beginner woman I coach gets the same focus: the correct technical foundation, built at a pace that fosters confidence rather than frustration.
I coach with energy and patience, and I focus on injury prevention and playing with confidence and consistency, especially for women who want to play smart not hard, play sustainably, and play for years to come. My goal isn’t just to improve your technique. It’s to make pickleball one of the best things in your life.
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.

My Philosophy
Why I'm
Obsessed
With Drilling
Most advanced beginner camps overwhelm you with too much too fast.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Repetition = Confidence
You don’t learn pickleball by watching demonstrations. You learn by actually doing it, repeatedly, with correct form, while one of the most reviewed coaches in Orange County watches and guides your reps.
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 a woman 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 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 women equal in level to you play with a confidence you haven’t found yet?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you’re capable of being?
That feeling ends on August 15.
Because by the time you walk off the court, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, the players you play with will immediately notice something has shifted.
IMAGINE THIS: It’s Monday, August 17 (Two Days After Camp)
You’re at your local pickleball court and you see a group of women playing.
But this time, instead of watching from the sidelines, you walk up confidently.
“Mind if I join?”
Your serves are landing deep and consistent, no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already moving to the right spot on the court. At the kitchen line, you’re patient, controlled, and keeping the ball low in a way that wasn’t there 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 Build the Right Foundation
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.
This is especially important for 50+ women: you’ll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can keep playing for years to come without wearing yourself out or risking injury.
01
You'll Meet Your New Women's Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
I’ll connect you with other passionate women at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with every woman you meet.
02
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.
03
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. With nearly 200 five-star reviews and a 4.0 competitive DUPR, I know exactly which fundamentals create sustainable improvement at 2.5-3.0, and I make sure you leave with all of them locked in.
04
You'll Fall in Love with This Game All Over Again
I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, confident, and already looking forward to your next time on the court.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? How it made you feel? If that feeling has been fading lately, you deserve to have it back.
On August 15, you will.
Because when your fundamentals are right and your confidence is real, that’s when pickleball becomes everything it promised to be.
