My Biography

Remember how nervous you were at the first day of high school? That’s how Dan Janal felt when he went to his first open play for pickleball.

He discovered that many other newbies were more concerned with how to fit in and not look stupid than with hitting the ball over the net.

So he decided to write the ultimate book for newbies so they would feel as comfortable making new friends as they were with winning points.

“Pickleball for Everyone” is the 14th book Dan has written. It is full of useful advice from everyday players as well as tips from America’s best coaches and top players.

Dan’s been playing pickleball for more than a year and is a low intermediate player. So he knows what it feels like to be the worst player on the court — and still have fun and make friends.

When you book Dan as a guest on your podcast, you’ll be attracting new listeners who want to go from beginner to intermediate fast. Your listeners will thank you for helping them become one of the cool kids.
