Hi, I'm Coach Rob Gray
Meet Coach Rob – Your Guide To The Next Level
I’m a PPR Pro and Head Pickleball Professional with a revolutionary coaching approach that’s helped hundreds of players break through plateaus and reach their true potential…especially players in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
What I bring to your game:
- PPR Certified Pro and USA Pickleball Affiliate
- Current DUPR Rating: 4.7
- 8 years of playing experience, 6 years of professional coaching
- Gold Medal – Legacy National Championships, Arizona (January 2022)
- Kinesiology degree with minor in coaching and nutrition from University of Minnesota
- Former Gopher football and soccer team member
- Senior Professional tournament competitor
My story? I’ve coached everyone from complete beginners to 4.5+ advanced players. I’ve competed at the senior professional level and won gold at National Championships. After facing kidney failure and working my way back, I understand what it takes to overcome challenges and continue improving at any stage of life.
My revolutionary approach: I use the Ecological Approach to coaching…moving away from traditional “fundamental-first” repetitive drilling. Instead of giving you pre-set solutions to repeat, I give you real game problems and let you discover adaptive solutions. This creates true “knowledge of” the game through lived experience, not just “knowledge about” the game.
Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:
The Constraints-Led Approach (CLA): I use strategic constraints…like varying net height, ball size, or player positioning to help you adapt quickly to different match scenarios. This builds real game intelligence, not just mechanical repetition.
Tactical Mastery: My coaching quickly identifies how you can improve court positioning and strategic decision-making, not just swing mechanics. You’ll learn to think like a 4.5+ player.
Problem-Solving Focus: You’ll face real court conditions and discover your own solutions, making the improvements stick permanently.
But here’s what I’m MOST excited about: The drilling. Lots and lots of drilling.
Not boring, repetitive drilling…but constraint-based, problem-solving drilling that forces your brain to adapt. The kind where you face 20-30 different scenarios in rapid succession and build true game intelligence in real-time.
I don’t waste time on mechanical repetition. We solve problems. You improve. You feel it immediately.
On March 14th, I’m bringing this revolutionary approach to just a few lucky players in Lakeville.

Why We Are Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)
Most camps spend too much time talking and not enough time doing.
We’re the opposite.
Here’s our philosophy: Drilling = Transformation
You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting 20-30 third shot drops in a row while a coach watches and corrects you.
And here’s the truth about why we’re obsessed with drilling:
Because let’s be honest—we all love that moment when we implement something new and it actually WORKS, don’t we?
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle and suddenly your third shot lands exactly where you want it.
That rush when you hit 10 serves in a row to the same spot.
That feeling when your opponent fires a fast ball at you and you put it away cleanly.
You don’t have to wait weeks to see if the coaching worked. You see it immediately. Right there on the court.
Player Stories
See why 98% of our campers recommend this camp.
Yeah. I’m Gene Justman out of, Denver, Colorado, and, good nuts and bolts program on, playing pickleball. I learned to get low.
I learned to hit the ball long and towards the back line. Great program.
– Gene Justman
Hi, I’m Debbie from Oklahoma. I really enjoyed today’s drill. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it exceeded my expectations. I got plenty of reps, learned many new aspects of the game, and added to my toolbox. It was a great experience.
– Debbie
Hi, I’m Linda. I’m from Iowa. I joined the camp today. It was great to touch on all different aspects. We’re able to drill enough that we got good at all the different aspects. So I’m ready to hit the courts.
– Linda
A super helpful tip today thatI know I can apply immediatelyand some really great drills that my wife, who’s my playing partner, and I can can put to use this week as well. It was a great clinic.
– Camp Attendee
Hi. I just finished an Obsessed
Pickleballers clinic, and I would
recommend it to anyone who wants to get better. Mark has a great way of explaining things, and he teaches in a way that anyone can get better in the four hour session.
– Camp Attendee
Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The
Court Frustrated?
You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about all the shots you should have made?
…watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?
…feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That ends on March 14th.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Tuesday, March 17th (Three Days After Camp)
You walk onto your local court for your regular morning game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
“What happened to you?”
Your court positioning is perfect—you’re always in the right place at the right time. Your strategic decision-making is sharp. You’re not just hitting good shots—you’re constructing points like a 4.5 player. At the kitchen line, you’re solving problems your opponents create before they even know what’s happening.
By the third game, they’re asking what you did. By the fifth game, they’re asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you can teach them.
That’s the difference between who you are right now and who you’ll be after the camp.
And it all starts the moment you register—because the transformation begins before you even arrive.
What You'll Actually Walk Away With?
You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself
We will teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection—not power. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy.
Soon after camp, your opponents will work twice as hard for half the results. While they’re gasping for air, you’ll be fresh and ready for the next point.
This is especially important for us 50+ players: You’ll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can play multiple times a week without wearing yourself out or risking injury.
You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)
You will meet other passionate 50+ players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and have permanent contact with everyone you meet.
Nobody gets left behind. Whether you’re naturally social or more reserved, local or visiting, you’ll be welcomed and connected with the entire group through the community platform.
Then, after camp, the group chat starts buzzing with game invitations and practice sessions. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew of players who understand your goals, your schedule, and your commitment to improvement. No more showing up alone, hoping to find a good match.
You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation
We will eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How do you handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.
Then, when you’re playing matches next week, your opponents will watch you differently. They’ll see someone who plays with confidence and certainty—someone who’s always one step ahead.
You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back
We will help you identify the 2-3 technical flaws that are currently holding you back. When we show you exactly how to fix them, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.
Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single morning.
The forehand that used to sail long?
Landing deep with topspin. The backhand you used to avoid? Now your go-to shot. The serves that made you nervous?
Setting up points in your favor.
You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game
It will show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave buzzing with excitement, already planning your next practice session.
Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…
On March 14th, it comes roaring back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau—that’s when the obsession returns.
