About 3P Pickleball
My pickleball philosophy
My philosophy for playing winning pickleball is based on three P's: patience, pressure, and punish!
The first P is patience. All too often we want to win the point instead of working the point. When we're too quick to speed up the ball or we don't show our opponent's shots the appropriate amount of respect we tend to lose control of the point and generally end up losing the point. Patience affords us the opportunity to get back to even and ultimately gain control of the point. Once we get back to even then we can begin applying pressure to our opponents.
Pressure can be applied in various ways. We can increase pressure by being in the appropriate place on the court, by getting every ball back, or by hitting penetrating shots that force our opponents into difficult positions that cause them to make mistakes. And there's the key, when we apply pressure, it draws unforced or forced errors from our opponents which we can then punish.
Earning the right to punish, or hit hard, one of our opponent's shots is the reward we've earned whenever we've shown patience and applied pressure.
Is pickleball right for me
In short: ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Pickleball is one of the most inviting, fun, social sports I've ever played. The game, its rules, court size, and spirit provide a welcoming and enjoyable experience to all. All you need is a paddle, a pickleball, some spare time, and access to a court to have one of the most fun times you've ever had.

Lessons
What type of lessons do you offer
I currently offer private, small group, and large group sessions. The private sessions provide an opportunity for us to work together on a skill or tactic of your choice. In the small group sessions, you, me, and up to three of your closest friends can work on skills, tactics, and game situations. Finally, the large group sessions or clinics are designed to be fun and collaborative so that we can help everyone improve.
Where do you conduct lessons
I currently play and conduct lessons in my community of Lakeshore Ranch and at Northlake and Keystone parks. I’m also happy to travel to any facility in Hernando, Hillsborough, or Pasco counties if it makes it easier for you.
Do you offer discounts on your lessons
​Yes, I do. I currently offer a 20% discount on my private and small group lessons when you commit to a four-session package.
How do I book multiple lessons at one time?
The easiest way is to use the cart feature on the site. Select the type of lesson you prefer, pick the date and time for the first session, and then add this session to the cart. You'll then be given the option to either view your cart and checkout or add more sessions. You can book as many sessions as you like, and the best part is you won't have to enter your personal information again. Just select the next date and time that works for you.
Payments
What forms of payment do you accept?
You may choose to pay at the time of the session via cash, Zelle, or Venmo. If you prefer to use a credit card, I accept all major cards and you may pay at the time of the session or on-line when you book the session.
