Competitor. Coach. Constant student of the game.
Zac is a competitive player with experience across every format — singles, men’s doubles, mixed doubles, leagues, and MLP. He’s competed in numerous tournaments and won gold at the 3.5–4.0 level, including the 2025 PPA World Pickleball Championships.
After transitioning into coaching, he’s quickly built a reputation for being hands-on, encouraging, and detail-oriented. He especially enjoys working with juniors, new players, and athletes ready to push to the 4.0 level.
His coaching emphasizes the reasoning behind pickleball fundamentals — teaching players how technique, positioning, and decision-making connect to real match outcomes. His mission is to share his experience, build confidence, and help players unlock their full potential on the court.
