Nothing gives me more satisfaction than seeing players improve, stay injury-free and just keep loving the game. 

​​

I have 30 years of coaching experience including in the medical device business sector, business leadership high-performance facilitation across Asia Pacific and the last three years as a professional pickleball coach. ​

​

I've played pickleball for 5 years and have made every mistake in the book. I fell over an overly lowered t​ennis net playing night pickleball and needed an operation to repair my shoulder. My early enthusiasm meant I exacerbated an old Australian Rules Football knee injury that took quite a while to settle down. I tried playing a power game, like my former tennis game, using power paddles and needed to rehabilitate from some golfer's/pickleball elbow. 

​​

My coaching experience and early pickleball mistakes have led me to coach SMARTpb.

 

SMARTpb is healthy, high-performance pickleball.

​

• Efficient movement

• Compact shot mechanics

• Effortless power

• Assertive shot shape 

• Controlling, anticipating and adapting to the game state, rally state and mental states

• Treating each game as a puzzle to solve

• Using your brain rather than beating up your body

​

Coaching sessions are energetic, full of passion for the game and heaps of fun. I use the latest in coaching aids and techniques to speed up your progress and get results. 

​

See you on court soon.

Cheers, Ray
