Bio
For decades, I have trained people of all ages about leaning to excel at having fun in the outdoors through playing pickleball, whitewater canoeing and downhill skiing. I have a master's degree in clinical psychology, am a trained facilitator and researcher who has done work on communication styles, marketing strategies, public health and communications about the risks of smoking tobacco and using drugs including alcohol. I developed a whitewater instruction program for poudrepaddler.com as the President and Instruction Program Director. As such, I bring an unusually diverse set of skills, qualifications and experience to the pickleball court. I have played pickleball for 15 years and play at least 4 hours per day 7 days per week. I provide a clear path to learning this game quickly and correctly at a very affordable rate. My lessons are 2 hours long with th first hour being instruction in technique, theory and strategy. The second is spent practicing the skills you have learned so far. I am certified in First Aid and CPR. While I am not a certified pickleball instructor, I was an American Canoeing Association certified whitewater canoeing instructor for 10 years running. I promise you will be on your way to a lifetime of fun, community and progression to whatever levele of proficiency you may pursue. And with the right gear for you skill level at at least a 15% discount.
