About yaz pickleball

Inspired by Billie Jean King at just 12 years old, my lifelong journey in racquet sports began on the tennis court — leading me to the WTA circuit and over 50 years of competitive play. Seven years ago, I discovered pickleball, and I’ve been hooked ever since, earning top finishes on the Senior Pro Tour, including the US Open and Nationals.

Now, I focus on coaching adults 40+, blending my deep tennis roots with a passion for pickleball and a signature “glass half full” attitude. My goal? To empower players with the skills, mindset, and confidence to thrive on and off the court.

Whether you’re just starting out or aiming to elevate your game, I’m here to help you find joy in the journey — and maybe even a few medals along the way.
