Train smarter.
Compete better.
Strategic 1:1 pickleball coaching built around how you actually play — so you stop guessing and start winning.
Players ranked up.
Every one of them.
“DeMario doesn't just teach you how to hit the ball — he teaches you how to think the point. Two months in and I'm reading opponents in a way I never could before.”
Four weak spots.
Fixed with a plan.
Every lesson targets one — never a random bucket drill.
Strategy & Decision-Making
Read the court. Pick the right shot. Every time.
Shot Consistency
Dinks, drives, drops — rehearsed until automatic.
Court Positioning
Own the kitchen line. Control the point before it starts.
Confidence Under Pressure
Train the mental game so tournament nerves vanish.
Most coaches teach drills.
I teach you how to win the point.
Read before you react.
Awareness beats athleticism. We train the scan, not just the swing.
Patterns, not hope.
Every point is a decision tree. I'll show you the right branches.
Pressure is a skill.
Routines and breath work so your A-game shows up in the third game.
Pick your path.
Every session is coached — not just timed court rental.

DeMario Montez.
I'm a 4.6 DUPR player, USTA/DUPR certified coach, and Head Pro at Dallas Indoor Pickleball Club. I built my game the hard way — film study, repeatable patterns, pressure-testing every shot. Now I build yours the same way.
I'll meet you at your level, diagnose the three things holding you back, and give you a plan you can actually execute — on the court and in your head.
Start improving today.
First lesson is a plan, not a pitch. You'll leave with three things to practice.
