About Me
Hi, I’m Holly Amwake! I’m a longtime educator and coach with a passion for sports and helping others grow both on and off the court. I played Division I softball at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, where I was fortunate to be part of a Big South Conference Championship team. My competitive playing experience, combined with my background in sport psychology and coaching, inspired me to get involved with pickleball as the sport grew in popularity. Coaching pickleball lets me bring the same energy, strategy, and teamwork I learned in softball to a new community. I love teaching skills, fostering inclusivity, and creating a fun environment where players of all levels can improve and enjoy the game. It’s become one of my favorite ways to connect, compete, and promote active lifestyles!
My experience
Who I teach
What my lessons are like
My lessons are energetic, supportive, and focused on helping each player improve at their own pace. I mix skill-building drills with fun games and real-game scenarios to keep things engaging and practical. Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, I emphasize proper technique, strategy, and sportsmanship. I encourage questions and foster a positive, team-like atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable to try, learn, and grow. Expect lots of encouragement, clear feedback, and maybe a few friendly challenges to keep you motivated and excited to play!
How to prepare
To get the most out of our lessons, come ready to move and have fun! Wear comfortable athletic clothes and shoes with good grip. Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated, and if you have your own paddle or equipment, feel free to bring it—but don’t worry if you don’t, I’ll provide what you need. It’s also helpful to come with an open mind, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn and try new things. Being rested and ready to focus will help you improve faster and enjoy the experience even more!
