MEET THE COACH

Hi, I'm Mark Wagner, aka Coach Wags!

I'm a Master Level Certified Pickleball Teaching Professional with nearly a decade of experience transforming players just like you into tournament-ready competitors—especially players in your 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

I've dedicated my career to one mission: helping passionate pickleball players unlock their true potential through smart, strategic play.


Here's what makes my approach different:


I don't believe in cookie-cutter coaching or pushing your body beyond its limits. I've helped hundreds of players go from complete beginners to advanced level in just weeks by focusing on smart play over power and respecting your body's needs.


My teaching philosophy is built on my proven 5-Skill Mastery System: An aggressive serve, an aggressive return, quick and controlled paddle work, precise dinking, and mastering the drop volley—the most important shot in pickleball.

My credentials speak for themselves:

• Won 4 out of 7 National Tour level tournaments at Men's 4.5 level (50+)

• Medaled at APP, PPA, and USA Pickleball tournaments

• Ranked Top 200 worldwide in doubles and Top 300 in singles by the ATP

• Competed at Wimbledon, US Open, and French Open multiple times

• 50+ years of coaching experience across tennis and pickleball

But here's what I'm most proud of: I've coached 4 players from their very first pickleball shot all the way to National Titles.

Whether you want to improve your fitness, develop your skills, compete in tournaments, improve your DUPR, or simply have more fun on the court—I'll help you play with confidence and consistency while preventing injuries.

Players who train with me experience complete game transformations. They win through intelligent positioning and shot selection, not exhausting power. They play multiple times a week with energy. They build lasting friendships while leveling up their game.


My reputation? "The Human Ball Machine." National Champions attend my classes because I can drill at any pace with precision that rivals actual ball machines—from controlled beginner pace to rocket-fast for advanced players.

On December 6th, I'm bringing this proven system to Bay Area.

Here's a video of me teaching how to serve properly and effectively.

Why Players Rave About Our Camps — Straight From Them

Remember The Last Time You Walked Off The Court Frustrated?

You know that moment when you replay the match in your head...

...thinking about all the shots you should have made?

...watching players you know you should beat walk away with the win?

...feeling that gap between the player you are and the player you know you could be?

That ends on December 6th.

Because by the time you walk off the court at noon, something fundamental will have changed. Your body will respond differently. Your mind will read the game differently. And the next time you play, your regular partners will immediately notice something has shifted.

Imagine This: It's Tuesday, December 9th (Three Days After Camp)

You walk onto your local court for your regular morning game.

As soon as you start warming up, your playing partners stop and stare.

"What happened to you?"

Your serves are landing deep and consistent—no more shanks, no more pop-ups. When they return, you're already reading where the ball is going. Your third shot drop is pulling them out of position. At the kitchen line, you're controlling rallies with patience and precision they've never seen from you before.

By the third game, they're asking what you did. By the fifth game, they're asking where you learned it. By the time you leave, they're asking if you can teach them.

That's the difference between who you are right now and who you'll be after the camp.

And it all starts the moment you register—because the transformation begins before you even arrive.

What You'll Actually Walk Away With (The Real Outcomes)

You'll Dominate Points Without Exhausting Yourself

I will teach you how to control rallies through intelligent positioning and shot selection—not power. You'll start winning more points while using less energy.

Soon after camp, your opponents will work twice as hard for half the results. While they're gasping for air, you'll be fresh and ready for the next point.

This is especially important for us 50+ players: You'll learn to play smarter, not harder, which means you can play multiple times a week without wearing yourself out or risking injury.

You'll Meet Your New Playing Crew (And Stay Connected For Life)

I will connect you with 15-20 other passionate 50+ players at your exact skill level. You'll exchange numbers, join the Obsessed Pickleballers Community together, and have permanent contact with everyone you meet.

Nobody gets left behind. Whether you're naturally social or more reserved, local or visiting, you'll be welcomed and connected with the entire group through the community platform.

Then, after camp, the group chat starts buzzing with game invitations and practice sessions. By next month, you'll have a regular crew of players who understand your goals, your schedule, and your commitment to improvement. No more showing up alone, hoping to find a good match.

You'll Know Exactly What To Do In Every Situation

I will eliminate the hesitation that's been costing you points. Should you drive or drop? Your body knows. When do you move to the kitchen? You're already moving. How do you handle the lob? You're executing before you finish thinking about it.

Then, when you're playing matches next week, your opponents will watch you differently. They'll see someone who plays with confidence and certainty—someone who's always one step ahead.

You'll Stop Making The Same Mistakes That Have Been Holding You Back

I will help you identify the 2-3 technical flaws that are currently holding you back. When I show you exactly how to fix them, the shots that used to frustrate you suddenly become your strengths.

Most players spend years fighting the same weaknesses. You'll correct yours in a single morning.

The forehand that used to sail long?

Landing deep with topspin. The backhand you used to avoid? Now your go-to shot. The serves that made you nervous?

Setting up points in your favor.

You'll Reignite The Passion You Had When You First Discovered This Game

It will show you how good you can actually be. You'll leave buzzing with excitement, already planning your next practice session.

Remember when you first fell in love with pickleball? When you couldn't wait to play? If that feeling has been fading lately…

On December 6th, it comes roaring back.

Because when you experience what it feels like to play at your true potential, when you finally break through that plateau—that's when the obsession returns.

You're At The Most Exciting Stage of Your Pickleball Journey

You're past the beginner phase. You understand the game. You win matches.

But you know there's another level waiting for you.

You can feel it when you're on court - those moments when everything clicks. When your dink placement is perfect. When you anticipate your opponent's move before they make it. When you dominate the kitchen line.

Imagine playing at that level consistently.

That's exactly what happens when you train with me at the Bay Area Obsessed Pickleballers Camp.

On December 6th, you're going to experience 4 hours that will completely transform how you see the game - and how you play it.
