What I have loved most is how he sets a solid foundation for me to be successful-teaching music theory, providing resources to learn more and practice what is taught, advising me to take notes, and being attentive to know what I need work on. He is knowledgeable and teaches in a way that is easy to understand. He's a teacher who cheers students on and reminds us we'll be who we envision ourselves as. He emphasizes that music is more than just playing notes. 100% recommend him as a teacher!”

Hi, I’m Travis! I discovered pickleball about a year ago and quickly fell in love with the game. Since then, I’ve dedicated hours to improving my skills through competitive play, tournaments, and studying strategy. Before pickleball, I played soccer, which taught me the importance of footwork, court awareness, teamwork, and strategy—skills that have translated directly to pickleball. I look forward to helping you reach your pickleball goals. Let’s get on the court and have some fun!

Landon Hostetler | Collegiate Athlete | Mentor. Leader. Relentless. Disciplined. Vision-driven. I’m currently competing at the collegiate level, where I bring a high-performance mindset, sharp fundamentals, and a team-first attitude to every game and practice. My journey in basketball began with a dream and was built through years of daily commitment—on the court, in the gym, and in leadership roles. Alongside my playing career, I’ve spent the last three years training young athletes, helping them sharpen their skills, build confidence, and chase their own basketball goals. I also serve as an assistant coach for LTD (Living the Dream), where I work hands-on with developing players, teaching them the same core values that shaped my own career: effort, discipline, and accountability. This dual role as player and mentor has deepened my understanding of the game and fueled my passion to keep pushing forward. My next goal is to play basketball professionally overseas—to continue growing, competing, and making an impact through the game I love. Basketball has taken me this far, and I’m just getting started!

"Landon has trained my son for two years. He is patient and very knowledgeable. He never makes him feel incapable or not good enough.

He is a wonderful man who loves God and basketball. One thing we were looking for was someone who was kind in words and actions and we found it in Landon!
