MEET KAT
Originally from California, Kat brings a rich background in tennis and badminton to her pickleball game. After a shoulder injury sidelined her from those sports, she discovered pickleball and was instantly hooked. Since earning her PPR certification in July 2023, Kat has dedicated herself to helping beginners and intermediate players advance through tailored drill sessions and private lessons.
Kat is passionate about women's doubles and has competed in numerous tournaments. She is continually training and preparing for her next competition, sharing that same enthusiasm and commitment with her students. Kat believes in the power of a positive mindset and encourages her students to not only improve their technical skills but also strengthen their mental toughness on the court. She is committed to helping each player master fundamentals, sharpen their strategy, and build confidence, both mentally and physically, in their game.
Kat is an excellent coach! I've been working with her regularly for over 6 months now, and she has impressed me over and over with her ability to assess and communicate my challenges with practical tips that I can easily understand and immediately apply. Kat has the ability to watch your play while also conducting the lesson, feeding balls, giving encouragement, etc. She's committed to her students often attending events in support and to watch for progress and next opportunities. Kat's coaching style is low key and practical, while very focused. Based on her broad knowledge of the game and relatable coaching style, I can imagine that she does a great job with beginners as well. I personally will continue to take sessions with Kat, as there's always the next skill to tackle, and because the insights I get from each lesson are so valuable. These past months, I have recommended sessions with Kat to many, many friends of all playing levels. None have been disappointed, and all rave about their experience. I am pleased to make the same recommendation to anyone looking to improve their pickleball game and considering Kat as a potential coach. Whatever level you're at and whatever objective you're trying to reach, Kat's a great partner to have on your journey! -Rosie S
