Player. Coach. Competitor.

Meet Jayna.

Competitive pickleball experience meets personalized coaching in Orlando and Winter Park.

My story

Built through competition. Driven by connection.

Pickleball challenged me to think differently, compete more intelligently, and continually find new ways to improve.

I discovered pickleball and quickly fell in love with its unique combination of strategy, athleticism, and community. Since then, I’ve dedicated myself to improving my own game while helping other players do the same.

My experience includes becoming a Top 10 DUPR collegiate player, competing in professional brackets at PPA tournaments, and serving as captain and vice president of UNC Club Pickleball—one of the country’s largest and most successful collegiate programs.

Those experiences taught me that meaningful improvement comes from more than repetition. It requires clear feedback, intentional training, strong decision-making, and the confidence to apply new skills under pressure.

My coaching approach

Coaching the player, not just the shot.

Every player brings different experiences, strengths, learning styles, and goals to the court. My approach begins by understanding where you are now and where you want your game to go.

Clear fundamentals

Develop reliable technique you can trust during drills, recreational play, and competition.

Smarter decisions

Understand positioning, shot selection, patterns, and how to construct points with purpose.

Confident execution

Turn new skills into dependable habits through purposeful repetition and game-like practice.

My goal is to create an encouraging environment where players feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and challenging themselves to improve.

Beyond pickleball

Always learning. Always moving.

When I’m not on the pickleball court, you can usually find me rock climbing, staying active outdoors, or preparing for dental school. My experiences in athletics, teaching, and leadership continue to shape the way I coach: with curiosity, patience, and a genuine investment in each player’s progress.
