As a sponsored athlete for Gearbox Sports, pickleball organizes my life. I've spent the last fifteen years coaching players of all levels. My goal is to help you elevate your game with improvement in body mechanics and decision making. I also record sessions and analyze them with pickleball AI to target areas for future improvement. Whether you're an experienced player or brand new to racquet sports, I've got your back. Check me out on sac-pb.com! Or message me at eric@sac-pb.com.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonDiscuss coaching goals for the player, racquet sport history and relevant experience, proper paddle grip style, pre-game warmups, skill assessments, basic rules and shot selection, serving. For first lessons, I use the Play-Practice-Play model, so students can feel immediate areas of improvement for their skills.

Lesson 11+Targeted improvement strategies to elevate what players do Video feedback and "homework assignments" for areas of improvement and continuous feedback. At this stage, we will frequently focus on one skill for an entire session.

Lesson 4-10Drills and exercises which mimic in-game scenarios that a student will encounter, decision making, technique improvement, video analysis, gameplay with other players your skill level to address the highest areas for potential improvement.

Lesson 2-3By this time, we should understand your competencies and areas for improvement. Lessons will focus on basic form and body mechanics, strategic concepts, unforced error reduction. Lessons 2-3 are as much about success seeking and highlighting a players strong traits as they are about limiting unforced errors.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonAdvanced players typically want help with specific tactics, shots or strokes. As a result, we will most likely spend our lesson focused on a single stroke or skill, reviewing footage, making corrections where applicable and discussing how specific footwork limits available shots and decision making. For advanced first lessons, we would want to heavily rely on video feedback, using both in-game scenarios and practice sessions.

What you need to bringNon-marking court shoes, water and snacks, hats and sunglasses, your favorite paddle.

What I can bringI typically bring 4 or more demo paddles, cones / targets, a cart with 100+ balls, electrolyte mix, hats, safety glasses, recording equipment and patience.
