Hi! I'm Jayna, a competitive pickleball player and coach based in the Winter Park and Orlando area. I discovered pickleball about 3 years ago and quickly fell in love with the sport's combination of strategy, athleticism, and community. Since then, I have dedicated myself to improving my game and helping others do the same.

Since beginning my pickleball journey, I have worked my way up to become a Top 10 DUPR collegiate player and have competed in professional brackets at PPA tournaments. I previously served as the Captain and Vice President of UNC Club Pickleball, one of the largest and most successful collegiate pickleball programs in the country. Through both competition and leadership, I have gained valuable experience working with players ranging from complete beginners to advanced tournament competitors.

One of the things I love most about pickleball is that there is always something new to learn. Whether it's refining technique, improving decision-making, or developing a stronger mental game, there are countless opportunities for growth. My goal as a coach is to help players improve more efficiently by sharing the lessons, strategies, and training methods that have helped me succeed at the collegiate and tournament levels.

Beyond my competitive accomplishments, coaching is especially rewarding because it allows me to help others gain confidence and enjoy the sport more. I strive to create a positive and encouraging learning environment where players feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and challenging themselves to improve. Whether your goal is to learn the game, become more competitive in local play, or prepare for tournament competition, I am committed to helping you reach that next level.

When I'm not on the pickleball court, you can usually find me rock climbing, staying active outdoors, or preparing for dental school. My background in leadership, teaching, and athletics has shaped my coaching approach and reinforced my belief that the best results come from combining hard work, smart training, and a genuine passion for improvement.

I look forward to helping you develop your skills, build confidence on the court, and achieve your pickleball goals. Whether you're just getting started or looking to gain an edge in competition, I'd love to be a part of your journey!
