CJ’s passion is helping pickleball players over 50 live their best lives on and off the courts.

In 2016, while learning pickleball, she instinctively knew the conflicting and awful advice she was getting was hampering her progress. “If that’s the best out here, I can learn to teach it BETTER,” and with that Better Pickleball was born.

Utilizing her keen eye for athletic movement honed by years of coaching golf and skiing, she became a student of the game.

Then it happened! After 25 years as a golf pro, CJ got her first case of “golfer’s elbow” from…… you guessed it…. pickleball!

That’s when the light bulb went off. Players over 50 are different.

She pivoted the mission of Age Well with CJ, the health and wellness company she founded in 2011, to focus on pickleball players.
Utilizing the knowledge acquired as a personal trainer and weight management specialist, combined with her own experience, maintaining a 100-pound weight loss for over 16 years, she started coaching players to make healthy lifestyle changes.

In 2019, she launched her first digital course, Fit After 50. It’s a predictable step by step method to help pickleball players manage weight, get fit, and play better pickleball without being overwhelmed and confused.

Better Pickleball and Age Well with CJ are an extension of her years teaching coaching and training people who have a desire to become the best version of themselves despite the calendar year!
