like you, I LOVE pickleball! I really do! When not playing pickleball, I'm probably talking or thinking about pickleball (or entrepreneurship).
I've been playing pickleball for at least five years. At that time, I was flying approximately 130,000 air miles around the world facilitating professional coaching sessions and/or public and private -in-house coach training programs. I knew when I started traveling with my paddle and booking venues near places to play pickleball, that I was becoming a pickleball fanatic!
After accumulating 3 million air miles, I hung up my wings and grabbed my paddle...
My Story
In the early 90's, I became a professional coach -- before coaching was a thing... I'm known as one of the first 300 professional coaches and worked tirelessly to making (life, business and corporate) coaching a household name (which has occurred). Founding member of the Int'l Coaching Federation (ICF) and Association of Coach Training Organizations (ACTO). Long tenure as CEO of the oldest and largest coach training organization in the world. Professional Speaker with the National Speakers Association (NSA). Literally wrote the book on life and corporate coaching - after being relentlessly pursued by John Wiley & Sons: co-wrote three university-level textbooks still in print a decade later.
Today, I enjoy my pickleball-based roles: USAP Ambassador, PPR Certified Coach (pickleball instructor at large pickleball club), trained pickleball referee and occasional pickleball tournament director.
And as I was born to coach and train (with a smile on my face), I am compelled to create and offer pickleball-based products, programs and services so players can enjoy their best pickleball life.
