Did You Know That 80% of Pickleball Players Can Dramatically Improve Their Game--Without Practicing Against a Ball Machine, Losing a Pound OR Doing Strength Training?
(Seriously...All Those Things Might Help, But They Are NOT Required...)
Find Out For Yourself!
You, Too, Can Get Better Results in JUST 1 Session!
(But 3 Sessions Will Change Your Game Forever)
Let me guess...
- You've been playing pickleball for a little while now and although you usually enjoy yourself, you wish you could hold your own with the better players...
- You're tired of losing against the same people, some of whom might even be older, slower or less mobile than you are.
- Maybe you've seen some of your pickleball buddies (or frenemies) improve their game lately and you're just not sure how what to do to improve your game, too...
- Maybe you even play on a ladder and you're tired of sitting in the same spot near the bottom of the latter, losing against the same people...
You're not alone.
I've helped thousands of players improve their game through my online trainings, the book I co-authored (Smart Pickleball) and private lessons.
Every one of them faced one of two challenges:
1) Either they didn't know what they were supposed to do improve their game or
2) They DID know what to do, but they just weren't able to actually IMPLEMENT it.
It's hard to make improvement when it comes to #2.
I've been playing 14 years and to be frank, I struggle with #2 sometimes, too.
I don't always DO what I want to do on the court. I hit more unforced errors than I want to and I don't always win every game that I think I "should."
But the biggest difference between you and me (or my students) is that even if we sometimes struggle to execute, we at least KNOW what the right shot should have been and what we did wrong.
And knowing WHERE to position yourself and WHAT shot to hit WHEN can make SUCH a difference to the results you get.
Because it's EASY to make improvement when it comes to #1.
That's one of the things I love most about teaching and playing pickleball.
SO MUCH of it depends, not on being FASTER, STRONGER or more ATHLETIC than your opponents, but it's about playing SMART and being STRATEGIC.
That's why, in just a couple sessions I can help you DRAMATICALLY improve your game.
What Makes My Approach Unique...
My approach focuses on what changes you can make to make the biggest improvement to your game in the least amount of time.
We aren't going to spend hours with me teaching you how to re-invent your forehand or your backhand stroke just because it doesn't look like a tennis pro's.
Instead, we're going to focus more on WHERE you are positioning yourself on the court when you hit a shot, WHAT shot you should be hitting at any given time, and where you should be AIMING it.
Why?
Simple. Because these are what are going to bring you the BIGGEST gains in the shortest amount of time.

More from My Students...
"After having just one session with Wendy I felt sooo much more confident and was able to play with the better players."
Rose Slam! Johnson (they/them)

"Wendy is a Wizard. I used to write training manuals for a living and I can tell you:
She knows how to teach.
Those of us with short attention spans need baby steps and she keeps her explanations short and sweet!
I loved my session with her."
Mary Gobby (she/her)
Grass Valley, CA
"I've always been athletic but had no racket sport experience. Wendy taught me to play the game one day and the next time we played against people I didn't know, they called me 'a ringer' and couldn't believe it was only my second day playing. "
