How I became a Pickleball Couch

Hi, I’m a certified PPR Level 1 Pickleball Coach, and I’d love to share my journey with you. My story begins with 16 years of tennis experience, including playing singles at a 3.0 level and competing in tournaments in Hawaii. 

After that, we moved to Las Vegas, where tennis became a big part of our lives. But when we relocated to Venice, Florida, we were introduced to pickleball. At first, we thought it was a game for "older people"—what a misconception! After just one try, my husband and I fell in love with the sport, and it quickly became a big part of our lives.

A couple of years later, my friends started asking me to teach their kids, and that’s when I realized how much I loved helping others learn the game. After teaching more than 20 people, I decided to take the leap and become a certified pickleball coach. It’s been such a rewarding experience, and I have so much fun working with my students.
