The "One Stroke Away" Coaching Program
As an instructor, I often encounter students that need more than a simple lesson or clinic. I know they are going to struggle after the lesson, and it is obvious that there is a clear need for on-going support and continuity.
In my coaching program, you will still have the one-on-one attention, but you will also get continued access to support, accountability, an on-line community, and much more. If you are serious about getting better, then this is the program for you.
My program is called One Stroke Away and the name reflects two critical things:
- First and foremost, it clearly states my firm belief that there is ONE set of STROKE mechanics that can be used in almost every situation that you will encounter on the pickleball court. Learn this, and you will dramatically and immediately improve your pickleball performance. Consistent strokes means consistent results. No more memorizing multiple different ways to hit a wiffle ball. Learn ONE way and execute it in every situation.
- And second, it reminds you of how close I believe you really are to significantly improving your game.
Please note that all the following pieces will be in place soon. The in-person coaching will start immediately and the rest will follow quickly.
Initially, the program will be delivered on-court and in person, but the plan is to eventually have it as an on-line course. So for now, it will only be available in the Ottawa area.
I will work with you as a COACH (not just an occasional instructor) and you will get...
- A personal pickleball evaluation to establish a starting point for the program
- A personal program, based on the tested and proven One Stroke Away curriculum, which will serve as an overall guide for development and progress
- One-on-one on-court training (twice per month, at mutually agreed-upon locations)
- On-going support (one hour per week, live, in an on-line community)
- Game evaluations and analysis (one per month)
- A community of other players on the same journey
- Documentation and notes for all sessions
- Access to pickleball-related resources (nutrition, fitness, mindset, etc.)
The first 20 people to be accepted will be "founding" members and will, by participating, actually help develop some of the features of the program. In return for participating, a special price is in effect for these members, and this price will rise when the program is completely built.
For the first six months of the program, the price will be $247 per month, made in two payments of $741 - one at the beginning and one three months in.
The One Stroke Away program is intended for people who genuinely want to get better, AND are prepared and willing to to do the work involved. There is no magic fairy dust, and you MUST be prepared to make changes in order to improve.
There is no specific "level" requirement for this program. Anywhere from 3.0 all the way to 4.5 is what I am initially thinking. This is definitely NOT for beginners - you need to have enough experience to know that you need some help and guidance to advance.
There is an application process that must be completed before you will be accepted, and that is on the next page. Once that is submitted, you will get a reply with an acceptance or not. If you are invited to join us, then you will get additional details before any payment is requested.
