The Coach Who Makes You Dangerous

I'm Sammy McCabe — a 22-year-old competitive pickleball player and coach based in South Jordan, Utah. With a 5.48 DUPR doubles rating, I'm in the top tier of players nationwide, and I've been competing and winning at the 5.0 level in tournaments across the region.

I coach at Premier Pickleball, where I work with players at every level — from complete beginners to competitive 4.5+ players looking to break through. My approach is simple: I teach you the same things that elite players actually do on the court, not textbook theory.

Whether you're trying to jump from 3.0 to 3.5, break into 4.0, or compete at 5.0, I've been there and I know exactly what it takes. I also offer virtual coaching where I analyze your game footage and give you a personalized plan to level up.

Equipment

Gear I Use

These are the paddles, shoes, and accessories I actually play with every day. I only recommend what I'd use in a tournament.

Sammy's Pick

Montis Drop 1.0 Court Shoes

The shoes I wear every session on the court. Insane lateral support, locked-in grip, and they come in 7 colorways so you can match your style. If you're still playing in running shoes, stop — these will change your game.
