Meet Your Head Coaches
CJ Johnson
In 2016, I started the Better Pickleball Channel to share my love of the game and help players of all levels improve. My experience goes beyond pickleball—I’ve spent years enhancing athlete performance across multiple sports, including as a PGA Golf Pro, PSIA Ski Instructor, and ISSA Personal Trainer. These experiences have shaped my unique approach to coaching, helping players achieve their best on and off the court.
I know how it feels to want more out of your game. Whether you’re just starting or striving to reach the next level, I’m here to guide you, share my insights, and help you grow. Together, we’ll build confidence, sharpen your skills, and take your pickleball journey to new heights.

Pickleball has not only taken me from a power-hitting player to a Senior Pro, but it’s also transformed the lives of thousands of players just like you. That’s what drives me—helping others strengthen their connection to this amazing sport.
I’ve been called a master strategist and impactful content creator, sharing pickleball knowledge through the In2Pickle YouTube channel, the Pickleball Therapy podcast, and my book, “Play Pickleball.” But what truly qualifies me as your Coach is earning the highest pickleball coaching certification: a Master Teaching Professional from the IPTPA.
Whether you’re starting out or refining your game, I’m here to help you uncover smarter strategies, build your confidence, and take your play to the next level.
