MEET YOUR COACH
Meet Coach Laura Fenton Kovanda – Your World-Class Championship Performance Specialist
I’m a 5x US Open competitor, 3x Olympic Qualifier, National Champion across 5 sports, and one of the most experienced pickleball camp coaches on the planet, with 700+ camps delivered globally. I’ve dedicated this chapter of my career to one mission: helping advanced women players unlock their true competitive potential and break through to the next level, especially women in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
What makes me uniquely qualified to coach you at the advanced level? I’ve competed at the highest stages in multiple sports, US Open, Olympic Qualifying events, national championships. I know what championship performance looks and feels like from the inside. And with 30 years as a college professor, I know exactly how to transfer that knowledge to women players in a way that creates immediate, lasting results on the court.
What I bring to your game:
- 5x US Open Competitor — elite competitive experience at the highest amateur levels
- 3x Olympic Qualifier — one of the most decorated athletes on the Obsessed Pickleballers roster
- National Champion across 5 sports — championship mindset across every court and field
- 700+ camps delivered globally — unmatched coaching experience at every skill level
- 30 years as a college professor — deep expertise in how adult women learn and retain new skills permanently
- Specialist in women’s advanced coaching — competitive strategy, tactical intelligence, and mental game
- Known for creating empowering, high-performance environments where advanced women reach their full potential
- Combines Olympic-level competitive precision with academic teaching methodology
My story: I’ve competed at the US Open, qualified for the Olympics three times, and won national championships across five different sports. But the credential I’m most proud of isn’t any of those. It’s the 700+ camps I’ve delivered to women around the world, and the countless advanced players I’ve watched finally break through the plateau they’d been stuck on for months or years.
My 30 years in the college classroom gave me something most coaches don’t have: a deep understanding of how women learn, process, and permanently retain new skills under competitive pressure. I use that every single session. When I coach you, I’m not just fixing your technique, I’m rewiring how your body and mind respond in match situations.
My approach: I create high-performance, empowering environments where advanced women are challenged to compete at their absolute best. I combine the tactical precision of a world-class competitor with the teaching methodology of a 30-year academic professional. Every woman who steps onto the court with me leaves with a clearer understanding of her game, sharper execution under pressure, and the competitive fire to go after the next level.
Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:
I bring Olympic-level competitive credentials, 700+ camps of coaching experience, and 30 years of academic teaching expertise, all focused on one thing: helping advanced women players identify exactly what’s holding their rating back and fix it fast.
But here’s what I’m MOST focused on: Championship-level drilling at match speed.
Not comfortable drilling, but purposeful, high-intensity drilling where you execute the same tactical sequence repeatedly until it becomes instinct. The kind that builds competitive muscle memory so that when you’re in a tight match, your body executes automatically. With 700+ camps behind me, I know exactly how to sequence every rep for maximum impact.
I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately.
On May 30th, I’m bringing this world-class expertise to advanced a few lucky women ready to break through in Carrollton.

Why I Am Obsessed WITH CHAMPIONSHIP-LEVEL DRILLING (AND WHY YOU WILL BE TOO)
Most advanced camps still spend too much time talking and not enough time executing.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Elite Drilling = Championship Performance
You don’t elevate your game by reviewing concepts you already understand. You elevate it by executing those concepts repeatedly at match speed while a 3x Olympic Qualifier and 5x US Open competitor who has over 700 camps under their belt watches and corrects every rep.
And here’s the truth about why I’m obsessed with drilling at the advanced level:
Because let’s be honest, we all love that moment when a ball comes fast and our body just handles it, don’t we?
That moment when you read your opponent’s speed-up before it arrives and put it away cleanly.
That rush when your third shot drop lands exactly where you need it, repeatedly, under pressure.
That feeling when you’re moving with complete court awareness and your opponents have nowhere to go.
You don’t have to wait weeks to feel that shift. You feel it immediately. Right there on the court.
That’s why championship drilling is the heartbeat of my advanced women’s camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because there is nothing like the feeling of executing at your full potential, and watching your opponents realize they’re in a different kind of match.
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 KNOWING YOU LEFT POINTS OUT THERE?
You know that moment when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about the third shot you should have dropped but drove instead?
…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 feeling ends on May 30th.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 4:00 PM, something fundamental will have shifted. Your footwork will respond differently. Your decision-making will be faster. And the next time you step onto a competitive court, your opponents will immediately notice something has changed.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, June 1st (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your regular Carrollton pickleball court for your weekly competitive game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.
“What happened to you?”
Your third shot drops are landing consistently, pulling opponents out of position before the rally even begins. At the kitchen line, you’re reading speed-ups before they arrive and resetting with a composure that rattles your opponents. Your movement is a half-step faster. Your shot selection is a decision ahead.
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 (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself
I’ll teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning, shot selection, and tactical patience, not power and hustle. You’ll start winning more points while using less energy.
Soon after camp, your opponents will be working twice as hard for half the results. While they’re scrambling, you’ll be composed and ready for the next point. This is especially important for us 40+ women 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 Carrollton Competitive Women's Crew
I’ll connect you with other serious women players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with every woman you meet.
No one gets left behind. Whether you’re naturally social or more reserved, you’ll be welcomed and connected through our community platform.
After camp, the group chat starts buzzing with match invitations and drilling sessions. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew of women who understand your goals, your schedule, and your commitment to improvement.
You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation
I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you speed up the dink rally? You’re already reading it. How do you handle the lob when you’re pulled wide? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.
When you’re playing competitive matches next week, your opponents will watch you differently. They’ll see a woman who moves with certainty and control, someone who is always one step ahead.
You'll Fix The Technical Flaws That Have Been Capping Your Rating
I’ll help you identify the specific issues that are currently keeping you from breaking into 4.0+. With the eye of a 3x Olympic Qualifier, 700+ camps of experience, and 30 years of academic teaching expertise, I know exactly what the gap looks like and precisely how to close it.
Most women at your level spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.
You'll Reignite The Competitive Fire You Had When You First Discovered This Game
I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave buzzing with competitive energy, already planning your next match or tournament.
Remember when you first broke into the advanced level and couldn’t wait to play every day? If that fire has been smoldering lately…
On May 30th, it roars back.
Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally execute the shots you’ve been working on under real match pressure, that’s when the obsession returns.
