Coach Mark Workouts are focused drilling and training sessions designed to help players improve faster. I firmly believe that purposeful and deliberate drilling is the most effective way to develop the three Cs: control, consistency, and confidence.
I developed The Coach Mark Workout Series© in late 2020 and early 2021. The Series includes 17 drills, seven drill games, and more than 100 targeting and shot-placement exercises—enough variety to keep every workout challenging and engaging.
The Coach Mark Workout Series consists of:
- The Coach Mark Workout
- The Coach Mark and Coach Kathy Workout
- The Hot Seat Workout
- The Nine Box Workout
The Nine Box Workout focuses on developing your ability to place each of the nine core pickleball shots with consistency and precision. Players practice these shots from both the forehand and backhand sides and from all three areas of the court: forecourt, midcourt, and backcourt.
Coach Mark Workouts are more than drilling sessions. During your session, I’ll help you correct unproductive habits, develop proper technique and footwork, and recreate gameplay situations you may have encountered since our previous drilling and training session.
That’s why every workout begins with a conversation about your recent gameplay experiences. I use what you share to focus our session on the skills, shots, and situations that will benefit you most.
Preview of Drills from The Coach Mark Workout Series©
Here are two drills you’ll gain access to when you Book a Coach Mark Workout.
The first one is titled Drive or Drop? It focuses on the critical 3rd shot decision that you need to make when a service return comes your direction.

Another important drill is called Hot Seat Blocks. It focuses on resetting speedup shots from the Non-Volley Line.
