“I had been wanting to learn pickleball for years, and I’m so glad I finally did — especially with Emily as my coach! As a 33-year-old mom trying something totally new, I was a little nervous at first, but Emily made me feel completely at ease. She’s so encouraging, knowledgeable, and fun to learn from. Every lesson leaves me feeling more confident and excited to keep playing. If you’ve been thinking about trying pickleball, don’t wait — Emily is the best!”

“As someone who played competitive soccer my whole life, I’ve always loved being active — but I was ready to try something new. Pickleball with Emily has been exactly what I was looking for! She brings the perfect balance of high-level coaching and laid-back, welcoming energy. Her background as a former D1 athlete shows in the way she teaches strategy and movement, but she also makes it fun. I’ve been hooked since my first lesson and can’t recommend her enough to fellow athletes looking for their next favorite sport!”

“In the past three years of playing I have had a handful of coaches, but Emily is easily the very best when it comes to strategy and fixing technique. She brings to the court her positivity and ongoing experience as a top pro player, so I am assured to get the most out of her coaching and the latest developments in the sport. I always look forward to the next lesson with her and I encourage everybody to do the same.”

“Emily’s coaching style is encouraging, honest, and individualized. While keeping an eye on fundamentals, she helps you play to your strengths and includes strategy. In just four lessons, she transformed my serves from sporadic to pretty solid. I asked her to videotape my before and after, and she shared it with me to help me see my own improvement. My partners comment on the improvement, too! Her private lessons and clinics are fun and informative and leave you feeling good about yourself and the new tools in your arsenal.”

“Emily is a fantastic pickleball coach and I highly recommend working with her. I participated in a group clinic with Emily, as well as several private sessions. Her coaching is very specific and actionable, and I was able to use everything she taught. Emily worked with us on drills, as well as giving feedback during live games, which was extremely helpful. She taught us to focus on one particular skill at a time. I look forward to working with Emily more in the future!”

“I highly recommend Emily as a pickleball instructor. As a professional-level pickleball player, she brings a rare combination of top-notch expertise, professionalism, and fun to every session. Emily is both effective and engaging, with a keen eye for spotting subtle nuances—those small but crucial details in your technique that can make a big difference in your game. This ability sets her apart from other instructors and enables you to make real progress with each session. Whether you’re just starting or looking to elevate your game, I have no doubt that you’ll benefit greatly from a lesson or clinic with Emily.”

“Emily has pro-level playing skills. Just watch her play! And she is also a master teacher that can teach those skills. It is a rare combination. Within a very short period of time, my basic shots improved significantly. She was able to do this without complicated explanations and can coach you into a higher level of play. Give her 15 minutes on a particular shot and that shot will go up a level. Thank you, Emily.”

“I have taken several of Emily’s women’s pickleball clinics in the past few months. I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s professional, patient, and very knowledgeable in the tactical and strategic insights of pickleball. She praises your strengths and offers suggestions/tips for your shortcomings. I thoroughly enjoyed taking her clinics and feel it has made me a better pickleball player. I would highly recommend her for lessons.”

“I’ve trained with Emily about half a dozen times. I really love her female take on the game. I love that she can answer my questions about the shots I want to improve on with a clear explanation of how to hold the paddle, body placement, and the correct situational example of when to use the shot. Emily is very patient and can teach every level with professional, honest, and positive feedback. Instead of feeling discouraged after lessons, I feel confident, which is great for the mental game! Thank you, Emily, it will be fun watching your future career!”

“Working with Emily has been great for my pickleball game. I was a good player, consistently medaling in 4.5 tournaments, but not quite ready to make the leap to 5.0.  Emily understood right where I was at and has great drills to take my game to the next level. Her offensive drills and fine-tuning of the basics has been great for my game and my confidence to compete at the next level. I also came to Emily wanting to learn some singles strategies, and in just a few lessons, I learned enough basic concepts of shot selection and court positioning to win a gold medal at my first singles tournament. I can't recommend Emily highly enough.”
