Who They Are & Their Approach

Dayne Gingrich

Dayne Gingrich is a mental performance coach with 16+ years’ experience and a senior pro-level pickleball competitor.

Jill Martin

Jill Martin is co-author with Dayne of Pickleball Mindset: The Blueprint for Peak Performance.

Their work emphasizes not only how to hit shots, but how to think and make decisions on the court — integrating mental performance / game theory / mindset with physical wellness and strategy.

They will explain how to deal with pressure, make smarter decisions, recognize opponent patterns and tendencies, and manage emotional/mental stress during play.

What the 2-day Event Includes

Segment	What It Covers	Purpose
Warm-up / Mobility / Injury Prevention	Jill will share how seniors can work on strength, mobility, dynamic warmups, injury prevention.	Helps prepare your body, reduce risk, and get you “ready” mentally and physically.
Drills / Strategy / Play Sessions	Dayne – both sessions will prepare you for the competitive play, situational play, and tactical decisions.	Reinforces decision making in real-time, not just isolated mechanics.
Mental Performance / Mindset Session	Learn mental performance: focus, visualization, dealing with pressure, mindset shifts in real time.	Helps translate what happens in drills into how to think during matches.
Intention / Game Plan / Opponent Analysis	They will emphasize drills designed to make you think about how to play the point, not just hit shots, and how to exploit opponent tendencies.	A shift toward higher-level play: making choices, not just executing.
Mindset / Emotional / Pressure Tools	Techniques to manage nerves, bounce back from mistakes, keep focus under pressure, develop internal confidence.	Often the difference maker in close matches.

Day 1: “Mental Performance Session with Dayne & Jill”
Day 2: On-court demonstration of a live review of the mental side of the game, point by point.

What You Get

You will receive a blend of tactical, mental and wellness training in one package.

Holistic approach — many clinics focus just on technique or drills, but this one weaves in the mental side. If your mental game or decision making is a current bottleneck, you will find this extremely valuable.

High-level coaching expertise — you will be learning from people who both “walk the talk” (Dayne is a pro-level player) and emphasize performance psychology.

New perspectives — exposure to strategies, mindset shifts and frameworks you may not get in your local clinic.

Interactive, hands-on feedback — the ability to ask questions, get feedback in live play, and refine decision-making in real time through observation.

Motivation, clarity and confidence — being exposed to the mindset language and training can boost confidence and reduce unnecessary mental noise during matches.

If you are ready to elevate your pickleball game – especially your pickleball mindset – to a new level, this event is for you.
