"Hey, I gotta say, Jamie's lessons are quite helpful, especially since he's very good at explaining things clearly. Though I think I could still get better at some aspects of my game, he's definitely someone to consider if you're looking to improve.

Still, I appreciate the straightforward coaching style and look forward to continuing with him.

"Oh, I’d say Matt’s lesson was quite helpful. He was easy to follow and very patient, especially with my young daughter who's new to sports. Still, I think having a bit more time to learn the basics could make a difference. But honestly, I’m looking forward to working with him more because his knowledge really shows. If you're into pickleball and want someone who’s approachable yet knowledgeable, you might consider giving Matt a try.

Though I have only been playing pickleball for a few years. My extensive racquet sports knowledge prepared me well for transition to pickleball. Ever since leaving competitive sports, I struggled to fill the hole that not playing sports left. Being a recent college graduate I had a hard time understanding why I was feeling empty and depressed entering this new chapter of my life. I realized that I needed to find a way to tap into my competitive nature, and Pickleball became passion. I played competitve youth tennis form the ages 4-14 and took lessons 4-5 dyas a week throughout that time. Thus, my knowledge of swing kinetics, footwork, and game strategy are very high. I am also a 5.0 DUPR rated player and play in tournaments with all the best players in the area. Recently, I was unofficially ranked top 20 in NEO. I am fun and outgoing individual, that will make learning quick and interesting for all ages.

As the administrator of Northeast Ohio Pickleball Players (NEOPP) and a USA Pickleball Northeast Ohio District Ambassador, I am deeply involved in the local pickleball community, including managing a Facebook group with over 3,000 followers. My competitive accomplishments include being a Gold Medalist at the US Open National Championships in Naples, FL, and multiple gold medals in the Ohio Senior Olympics, Gamma Games, Great Lakes Regionals, and Ohio State Games. As a three-time qualifier for the National Senior Olympics and a board member of the Ohio Senior Olympics, I am dedicated to promoting the sport and helping athletes excel. I am also a proud Selkirk Sports Ambassador, passionate about inspiring players of all ages and levels to reach their potential on the court!
