"I play so much better because I am now thinking on my feet as I play. Watching teams play live and finding out what they really should be doing is a wonderful way to approach the game. In a recent tournament, my mixed partner and I were able to see our opponents' weaknesses quickly, and it made a huge difference in winning."

CJ Johnson

Hey, pickleball friends! I’m CJ. I was a tennis coach for over 30 years, then fell in love with pickleball!

I believe playing your best pickleball takes more than great strokes. It’s about connecting the mind and body.

I launched the Better Pickleball Channel in 2016 to share my love of the game and support players at every level. In addition to tennis, I’ve also been involved in golf, skiing, and personal training. That experience shaped my coaching style, which focuses on building confidence and long-term improvement through solid mechanics.

Whether you're just starting or chasing your next breakthrough, I'm here to help you play smarter, feel stronger, enjoy the game even more, and climb your way up the ratings board.

Tony Roig

Hi, I’m Tony, a proud pickleball superfan turned Senior Pro. Like many players, I started out by hitting the ball hard, but quickly fell in love with the game’s deeper strategy. That discovery changed everything, and I’ve been sharing it ever since.

Through the In2Pickle YouTube channel, Pickleball Therapy podcast, and my book Play Pickleball, I’ve helped thousands of players think more strategically and play with greater purpose. I’m also a certified Master Teaching Professional with the IPTPA.

Whether you’re new to the sport or pushing for your next level, I’m here to help you play smarter, with clarity and confidence.
