"When my daughter Ally was 8 years old, she expressed interest in playing sports. We put her on MYAA teams but noticed she was getting very hard on herself while practicing and playing with the other girls. We found Nikki for private lessons and so much changed. Nikki’s gentle coaching helped Ally learn more about the game and focused on building confidence. She taught Ally how to be strong physically and mentally on the field. It’s been incredible to watch her skills and determination grow during the course of lessons and beyond. Thank you Nikki!

I’ve started playing baseball since I was in kindergarten roughly 18 years ago. In high school I was one of Oregons top players. Also was awarded player of the north when I played in the senior all star games. There I was talked to by many colleges but due to COVID I could only make it into junior college. After two years of college, I ended up going a different route. Where I ended up in the trades. but something was missing. I couldn’t give up the sport. I’m in a men’s league here in Portland where I get to keep enjoying the game. But now with all of my knowledge of the game, I want to share it. Maybe show someone how to love the game as I do.

I played professionally for 10 years. I was drafted in 2011 as the 42nd pick overall in the MLB draft to the Tampa Bay Rays. After retirement in 2020 I am seeking to pass my knowledge down to those who are looking to elevate their level of play. I was a pitcher, so pitching is my specialty. However, I have knowledge for the game as a whole and can help any kind of player achieve whatever it is they are looking to achieve.

About Me - I’m Danielle, a pickleball coach based in Oregon City. Pickleball, for me, is about the joy of moving, learning, and having fun together. I teach locally outdoors and in Troutdale for indoor lessons. Approach - I’ve spent six years creating a supportive, low-pressure learning space where players can grow at their own pace. Who I Coach - I work primarily with women of all ages and body types and athletic ability who want to learn with a growth mindset and kindness toward themselves. How Lessons Work - Each session is tailored to you. We choose one technical and one tactical skill to focus on, start with some rallying, and build from there. My Why - If you’re ready to learn, laugh, and grow, I’d love to help you take your next step on the court.
"I am blind in one eye but still really wanted to learn this game. With no depth perception, Danielle was able to help me learn the drills and skills to develop strong compensations in reading and responding to the ball. Her approach has helped me in leaps and bounds.
