LYNN COBURN, PROFESSIONAL PICKLEBALL COACH, ALL SKILL LEVELS, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST!

Lynn Coburn is one of Maryland's best kept pickleball secrets. Lynn resides in Baltimore County, and coaches pickleball at several local private racquet clubs. Lynn also conducts skill specific clinic for small groups in the surrounding area who prearrange court space and time. Aside from her professional teaching career, and her professional pickleball coaching career, Lynn is a competitive tournament player at the 4.5 skill level. She recently won Gold in Pittsburg and her successful tournament history speaks for itself. But Lynn is reserved and not one to promote her self, nor does she ever boast about her competitive successes. In my opinion, I would rank Lynn Coburn as one of the best women's pickleball players in Maryland. Lynn Coburn is simply the best professional pickleball coach, I have ever had, including my friends Sarah & Linh Ansboury, who I will be seeing in person next week. Sorry Sarah,

When Lynn coached me, she hit the pickleball out of the park.  Her analysis and assessment of my practice point play identified specific areas that I need to improve and/or include as part of my overall game play. Lynn ran me through a series of specialized drills that instantly began to improve my delivery of specific shots with accuracy and purpose. 

Although Lynn was complimentary about my skill sets and level of play, she also recommended that I have the ability to play more aggressively, Attack more and defend less.

Lynn and I also discussed the feasibility and practicality of how and when to execute the "ERNIE" shot. But that's a subject for another post.

Intermediate players near the advance level or advance level players will learn a lot on improving their game or correcting their weaknesses. Lynn's coaching style is positive and successful.  Regardless of your skill level, one session with Lynn Coburn, and you will come away as a much smarter and improved player.

Lynn also has a new FACEBOOK PAGE full of pickleball playing tips, and skill improving recommendations.  Check it out and tell your pickleball friends to check it out.

UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES

     UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES (By Joe Palmere Jr. December 15, 2013)   ARE YOU ‘IN A PICKLE’ OVER YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?  You cannot understand why after a couple years of serious court time, you have not advanced to a higher skill level.  Are you traumatized at game time with any of the following symptoms: feel intimidated by better players; embarrassed by mere thought of another poor performance; feelings of fatigue and a lack of energy; no self-confidence, high expectations to lose near every games; feel like walking of the court in mid-game; wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or worst yet, quit the “fun friendly game” that you once loved.  If So, you are suffering from “unforced error syndrome.” With the ever-increasing numbers of new players in our sport, “unforced  error syndrome”  is reaching near epidemic proportions.

POST C-19 VIRUS, NON-TRADITIONAL PICKLEBALL PLAYING OPTION WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING

POST "C-19 VIRUS" NON-TRADITIONAL OPTION FOR PLAYING PICKLEBALL & SOCIAL DISTANCING HOW:  Maybe it's time we added a little spice to our Open Play Pickleball Format.  "Variety is the Spice of Life." Foursome play has been the hear & soul of traditional pickleball.  Now it's time to think outside the "4 player game to 11 box," if social distancing become the norm.  This is a game I first saw played when I visited Sun City Retirement Community Pickleball Assn in Arizona. Since most of us are in dire need of improving our skills, why not have a skills improvement competition. The average traditional pickleball game lasts around 15 minutes and offers little social distancing.  The Arizona model is a "skills competition contest" to consume the same amount of time, and help players practice specific skill sets while they compete.
