MEET YOUR COACH
Meet Coach Mark Ianni! - Head Coach of Obsessed Pickleballers and Your Guide to Playing Smarter
I’m the head coach of Obsessed Pickleballers, author of “The Perfect Guide to Acing Pickleball” — with over 500 five-star reviews, and a dedicated pickleball coach with nearly a decade of experience helping players at every level discover what they’re truly capable of on the court. I’ve dedicated my coaching career to one mission: helping players in their 60s, 70s, and beyond play smarter, feel better, and enjoy this game for as many years as they can.
Being 68 myself,I believe pickleball for seniors should feel energizing, not exhausting. Controlled and not frantic. And most of all, it should feel like something you can keep doing, keep improving at, and keep loving for years to come. That’s what this session is built around.
What I bring to your game:
- Head Coach of Obsessed Pickleballers — operating camps across 40+ cities and 10+ states
- Author of “The Perfect Guide to Acing Pickleball” — 500+ five-star reviews from players just like you
- Nearly a decade of pickleball coaching experience at all skill levels
- PPR Certified Instructor — official education partner of USA Pickleball
- Deep expertise in smart play strategies that win without exhausting you
- Specialist in helping 40+ and 65+ players build games that hold up over time
- Known for a patient, intelligent, and community-first coaching approach
- Hosts weekly Thursday virtual coaching sessions for the Obsessed Pickleballers community
- Produces YouTube instructional content specifically designed for players 40 and over
My story: I started Obsessed Pickleballers because I saw a gap in the pickleball coaching world — players of senior age being coached with the same intensity-first, power-focused approach designed for 25-year-olds. That never made sense to me. The players I work with are smart, motivated, and capable of playing at a genuinely high level — they just need coaching that respects where they are in life and builds toward longevity, not just short-term improvement.
I wrote “The Perfect Guide to Acing Pickleball” for that same reason — to give senior players a clear, intelligent roadmap that meets them where they are. Over 500 five-star reviews later, I’m still coaching from the same place: genuine care for the players I work with and a deep belief that your best pickleball is still ahead of you.
My approach: Smart play is everything. I focus on positioning, patience, and shot selection — the fundamentals that create consistent, enjoyable, sustainable pickleball. For seniors, this means every session is thoughtfully paced, body-aware, and built around enjoying the game you love while protecting the health that keeps you on the court. We warm up properly. We cool down properly. And everything in between is designed to help you play better, not just today, but for years.
Here's what makes this approach work so well for seniors:
I bring Obsessed Pickleballers head coach credentials, authorship of the sport’s most-reviewed senior coaching guide, nearly a decade of coaching experience, and a genuine passion for helping senior players play smarter and feel great doing it.
What I’m MOST focused on with this group: The small, purposeful adjustments that create the biggest improvements without putting unnecessary strain on your body.
Not overhauling your game, but identifying the specific habits currently limiting your performance and replacing them through gentle, purposeful drilling. Every rep is meaningful. Every correction is clear. And everything we do is designed to help you play better for longer.
We keep things moving at a pace that feels good. We take our warm-up seriously. And we finish feeling better than when we arrived.
On June 13th, I’m bringing this thoughtful, structured approach to intermediate players ready to enjoy this game even more in Mesa.

WHY SMART DRILLING WORKS SO WELL FOR SENIORS
Most intermediate sessions push players too hard, too fast, and send them home tired instead of energized.
I’m different.
Here’s my philosophy: Purposeful Drilling = Lasting Improvement
You don’t get better by doing more. You get better by doing the right things, correctly, at a pace that works for your body — with a coach who has spent a decade developing the system that helps senior players improve without burning out.
And here’s what I’ve seen time and time again coaching senior players:
That moment when you adjust your paddle angle and suddenly your third shot lands right where you aimed it.
That quiet satisfaction when your serve goes in — consistently, every time.
That feeling of rallying back and forth at the kitchen with real control — not scrambling, not guessing. Just playing.
You don’t need to work harder to feel that improvement. You need to work smarter. Right there on the court. Every session.
That’s why purposeful, paced drilling is at the heart of everything I do with this group.
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
HAVE YOU EVER WALKED OFF THE COURT WISHING YOU HAD PLAYED A LITTLE SMARTER?
You know that feeling when you replay the match in your head…
…thinking about the shots that got away from you?
…noticing that you were working harder than you needed to?
…sensing that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?
That changes on June 13th.
Because by the time you walk off the court at 9:00 AM, something will have shifted. Your positioning will feel more natural. Your decisions will come more easily. And the next time you play, the game will feel just a little more under your control.
IMAGINE THIS: It's Monday, June 15th (Two Days After Camp)
You walk onto your regular Mesa court for your weekly game.
As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners look over.
“Something’s different about you today.”
Your serves are landing deep and consistent. When they return, you’re already in position. Your third shot drop is working — pulling them out of place before the rally even starts. At the kitchen line, you’re patient, controlled, and comfortable.
By the end of the session, they’re asking what you did. By the time you leave, they’re asking if you’ll share where you learned it.
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.
What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real Outcomes)
You'll Win More Points Without Working Harder
I’ll teach you how to control rallies through smart positioning and shot selection, not effort and power. 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. Playing smarter, not harder means you can play multiple times a week and still feel good afterward.
You'll Meet Your New Mesa Playing Friends (And Stay Connected)
I’ll connect you with other players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay connected with everyone 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 game invites. By next month, you’ll have a regular crew who understands your goals and your game.
You'll Know What To Do In Every Situation
I’ll help you eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? You’ll know. When do you move to the kitchen? You’ll feel it. How do you handle the lob? You’ll be ready before it even lands.
When you step onto courts next week, your playing partners will notice a new clarity in your game — someone who moves with purpose and makes good decisions.
You'll Address the Habits That Have Been Holding You Back
I’ll help you identify the technical patterns that are currently limiting your game. When I show you how to adjust them — through gentle, purposeful drilling with clear feedback — the shots that used to frustrate you will start to feel natural.
Most players carry the same habits for years. A single good session can change that.
You'll Leave Feeling Energized About This Game
I’ll remind you just how enjoyable pickleball can be when it feels effortless. You’ll leave feeling good — physically and mentally — and already looking forward to your next time on the court.
On June 13th, the love for the game gets refreshed.
Because when pickleball feels easy, flowing, and fun — that’s when you truly fall in love with it all over again.
