Mark Ianni is the author of The Perfect Guide to Acing Pickleball (with over 500 five-star reviews) and a certified PPR instructor who’s been playing and coaching pickleball for nearly a decade.

Mark’s entire mission is simple: to help passionate pickleball players like you unlock your true potential—especially if you’re in your 50s, 60s, 70s, or beyond.

Here’s what makes his approach different:

He doesn’t believe in cookie-cutter coaching or pushing your body beyond its limits. Instead, he helps you achieve major breakthroughs by focusing on smart play over power and teaching you how to respect your body’s natural limits while maximizing your strengths.

Mark’s teaching philosophy is built around you:

Build on what you already do well.

Fix what’s holding you back.

Transform the way you think about strategy.

Whether your goal is to improve your fitness, develop stronger skills, compete in tournaments, raise your DUPR, or simply enjoy the game more, Mark will guide you to play with confidence, control, and consistency—all while reducing your risk of injuries like tennis elbow, strains, or cramps.

Players who train with Mark experience complete game transformations. You’ll start winning through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not raw power. You’ll play more often, with more energy, and with less strain. And you’ll join a community of players who are not just improving their game—but having the time of their lives doing it.
