about me
Hi! I'm Fred Schlichting, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you.
When I'm not busy wrangling my two little ones or sharing in the joys of family life, you'll often find me on the Pickleball court. Coaching Pickleball isn't just a hobby—it's my calling. One that I’ve been pursuing for the last 5 years, both in the USA and Germany.
There's an undeniable thrill in helping others discover their potential and hone their skills in this fast-paced and addictive sport. Whether you're a total newbie or an intermediate player looking to take the next step, I'm here to support you on your Pickleball journey.
My philosophy
At the heart of my Pickleball coaching philosophy lies the belief that learning should be enjoyable and rewarding for every player, regardless of their skill level.
For beginners stepping onto the court for the first time or intermediates aiming to refine their techniques, I strive to create an environment where fun is intertwined with learning.
Advanced intermediate don’t fall short though: learn advanced shot selection, shot placement and court coverage strategies to really unlock your potential!
Through a combination of engaging drills, clear instructionals, and steady guidance, players not only improve their game but also develop a passion for the sport that keeps them coming back for more.
