Why are you losing to a player who you are technically better than? Taking from my experience as a poker coach, I teach pickleball to established 3.5+ players looking to focus and improve their pickleball strategy. I approach the game from a math-first perspective and will teach you the fundamentals of how to use math to win more points. DUPR: 4.8 (12/8/24)

Derric is a fantastic coach with a clear communication style and focus on advanced strategies. His deep understanding of the game comes across in the drills and exercises he organizes and he's given me clear next steps that I'm certain will improve my game.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonWe will start with a quick warm-up and a friendly skinny singles game, which will allow me to feel out your skills and tendancies. From there, we will focus in on one specific skill, work on honing proper form and strategy of that skill. And then play cooperative and competive games to further work that skill in real game scenarios.

Lesson 11+By the end of 10 lessons, we will have worked on every major aspect of the game and will begin working harder with repetition and advanced strategies for improving consistency and competing at a higher level.

Lesson 4-10Through 10 lessons, we will cover all major aspects of the game: Serve, return, 3rd shot drop/drive, transition zone, dinking, speed ups, resets, counterattacks, and even Erne's, ATP's, and lobs.

Lesson 2-3The goal of each coaching session is to fix/improve one specific leak - underperforming tendencies - in each session.

What you need to bringAthletic closed toe shoes, workout clothes, water. You will sweat.

What I can bring100 balls in portable basket, pick up tube, multiple paddles, court cones.
