MEET YOUR COACH

Hi, I'm Coach Jenny Townsend

Meet Coach Jenny – Your Guide To The Next Level

I’m an IPTPA Certified instructor who’s dedicated my career to helping passionate pickleball players unlock their true potential… especially players in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

My approach blends championship tournament experience, professional instruction, and genuine passion to help you perform with confidence and consistency.

What I bring to your game:

10+ years of pickleball experience
IPTPA Certified Instructor since 2019
Multi-Gold Medalist – State and Regional championships
2x National Qualifier for National Championships
Midwest Regional Champion (Mixed Doubles and Women’s Doubles)
Former competitive tennis player – deep racquet sport background
Extensive teaching experience: teams, private lessons, groups from beginners through 4.0
Local teaching Pro in SW Florida

My story? I started playing pickleball over 10 years ago. I had a background in tennis but due to some shoulder injuries I had to stop playing. When I learned pickleball had an underhand serve, I was hooked immediately! What started as a solution to my shoulder issues became a passion that took me all the way to becoming a pro, winning regional championships, and qualifying for Nationals twice.

My approach: I love the “Ah-ha” moments and seeing the smiles when a student accomplishes a goal. I am still passionate for this crazy game, and that energy shows up in every session. With experience teaching teams, private lessons, and groups from beginners through 4.0, plus involvement with clinics and camps as the local teaching Pro in SW Florida, I bring an understanding of the skills, actual experience in playing tournaments and recreational play. I like to meet players where they are at and bring them to the next level. Overall, my number one goal is to create a relaxed and fun environment while improving your game.

Here's what makes my approach unstoppable:

I bring championship tournament credentials combined with a proven track record helping hundreds of players break through plateaus. As someone who’s won multiple Gold medals and qualified for Nationals twice, I understand exactly what works in tournament play and how to help you get there.

But here’s what I’m MOST excited about: The drilling. Lots and lots of drilling.

Not boring, repetitive drilling—but fun-filled, energetic drilling that builds confidence through repetition. The kind where you hit a ton of balls in rapid succession and feel yourself improving in real-time. The kind I used to win regional championships.

I don’t waste time talking. We drill. You improve. You feel it immediately. And most importantly—you’ll have a blast doing it.

On April 26th, I’m bringing this championship-tested approach to just a few women in Raleigh.

Why We Are Obsessed With Drilling (And Why You Will Be Too)

Most camps spend too much time talking and not enough time doing.

I’m the opposite.

Here’s my philosophy: Drilling = Transformation

You don’t get better by listening to lectures about the third shot drop. You get better by hitting third shot drops in rapid succession while a coach watches and corrects you.

And here’s the truth about why I’m 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.

That’s why drilling is the heartbeat of my camps. Not because I think it’s good for you (though it is), but because it’s incredibly satisfying to watch yourself improve in real-time.

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 April 26th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at 6:00 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, April 28th (Two 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 serves are landing deep and aggressive… no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you’re already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you’re controlling rallies with patience and precision they’ve never seen from you before.

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 and smart shot selection, not just 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 gasping for air, you’ll stay fresh, composed, and ready for the next point.

This is especially important for us 40+ players. We focus on helping you play smarter, not harder, so you can play multiple times a week without burning out or risking injury.

You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

I’ll connect you with other passionate players at your exact skill level. You’ll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and stay permanently connected with everyone you meet.

No one gets left behind. Whether you’re naturally social or more reserved, local or visiting, you’ll be welcomed and seamlessly connected with the entire group through our community platform.

After camp, the group chat starts buzzing with game invites 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

I’ll eliminate the hesitation that’s been costing you points. Drive or drop? Your body already knows. When to move to the kitchen? You’re already moving. How to handle the lob? You’re executing before you finish thinking about it.

When you step into matches the following week, your opponents will see the difference. They’ll see a player who moves with confidence and certainty… someone who’s always one step ahead.

You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back

I’ll help you identify the technical flaws that are quietly limiting your game. Once I show you exactly how to fix them, the shots that used to frustrate you become reliable strengths.

Most players spend years battling the same weaknesses. You’ll correct yours in a single afternoon.

That forehand that used to sail long? Now landing deep with topspin.

The backhand you avoided? Now a dependable go-to shot.

The serve that made you nervous? Now setting up points in your favor.

You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game

I’ll show you how good you can actually be. You’ll leave energized, confident, and already looking forward to your next time on the court.

Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball, when you couldn’t wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…

On April 26th, 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.
