Gu-Who?

Prem Carnot“The Pickleball Guru”

Prem “Prame” Carnot won a Silver Medal in the French National Table Tennis Tournament, and has been playing pickleball for over 5 years (sometimes as much as 35 hours/week).

From Florida to New Jersey, from Michigan to Houston, and from Seattle to San Diego, he has traveled all over the country and played with the best players anywhere.

Whatever your age or skill level, you can learn to play smarter and better, and Prem can help show you how.







Gu-You...You love the sport. Youʼre an enthusiast. Regardless of what level youʼre currently at, you want to get better…fast!

You know that talk and demonstration can only go so far, and youʼre willing to put in a little time and energy to really bring your game to the next level.

Youʼre a fine candidate for The Pickleball Guru Academy.

Player Spotlight“…I very highly recommend Prem to teach/coach anyone when it comes to Pickleball…He has a great understanding of the game and a simple tip or two can make oneʼs game a whole lot better. He has given me some very good suggestions here and there over the years….Some of the things that make Prem such a great coach/teaching pro

are his smile, warmth, approachability, passion for the sport, and his earnest desire to see you improve.”

-- Billy Jacobsen, 2011 Pickleball National Champion Menʼs Singles and Menʼs Doubles







About The AcademyWhy I Created It...If you take 10 of the top pickleball players in the country, youʼll see that they each have different styles, technique and forms, depending on their racket sport background (or lack thereof).

I could teach you how I hit the ball, but I have spent hundreds of hours practicing table tennis shots in preparation for competing at the national-level, so thereʼs no way you could have the exact same shot that I do. Nor should you!

The purpose of The Pickleball Guru Academy is to help you perfect YOUR shots, and YOUR game, with whatever strengths or limitations youʼve got to your name.







What It Is...

The Pickleball Guru Academy is a curriculum for pickleball players. Just like any good school (tennis, ballet or otherwise) when you go through The Pickleball Guru Academy, you should master the basics before moving on to the advanced techniques and strategies.

Player Spotlight“Prem, I just wanted to let you know that the class you gave my son and I has made a big difference in my game. I started playing in July of this year and really enjoy playing but the strategies that you taught me have changed my game. I look at the way I and the people I play with in a new light. Using these strategies and skills have made me a better player. I look forward to entering some tournaments this coming year. My son has never played and you were able to take his tennis skills and turn them into pickleball skills. I look forward to my next trip to San Diego and another lesson. Thank you again.”

-- Doug Bare, Wyoming







What It’s Not...UNLIKE most other academies, which have you doing the basics for years, The Pickleball Guru Academy was designed to help you improve your game FAST by giving you lots of practice, both in drills and actual play.

There isnʼt a lot of talking or demonstration in The Pickleball Guru Academy, but there is a LOT of action -- real, hands-on practice to help you improve your game.

Player Spotlight“I saw an ad and decided to take a class from Prem, and I am so glad I did. He exceeded my expectations by over delivering. He was very attentive and has an eagle eye that doesnʼt miss a thing. He worked my tail off but I came away with so much knowledge and experience, I know it has improved my game 100%. I like to have fun while learning and with his easy going, pleasant personality, it made the class very enjoyable. I look forward to taking another class from him and encourage you to do the same.”

–Jodie Baron, San Diego, CA

Player Spotlight“Hi Prem,Your pickleball clinic today helped me identify some of the specific areas where I need improvement. Most pickleball clinics teach the basics. You gave me specific solutions to correct and improve my particular game. I think that players at all levels could benefit from your method of teaching. Thank You.”

– Jim Schiller, Carlsbad, CA







Class Levels

Player Spotlight“Ten months ago I entered a 4.0 tournament and didnʼt win. This past month I won two gold medals in the 4.5 division and I attribute it all to Prem. Most recently, we created some upsets amongst the top players when we played together in a tournament. I highly recommend his coaching to anyone that wants to improve their game.”

– Ron Chang, Irvine CA

Player SpotlightPrem, It was really worthwhile for me to be in your lesson last Saturday….The entire hour and a half with you was drill/practice, and most of us were able to nearly “perfect” the shot you were teaching with that repetition, which shows the importance of those drills. My expectation of the lesson was that Iʼd be able to address some skills and aspects of the game that I wanted help on. In particular, I wanted to learn how to transition from a power game to a short game, and I clearly learned that. Now I just need to spend as much time drilling the baseline-to-kitchen shot as we did on the serve. Your manner was very encouraging and positive, and I would definitely benefit from another lesson with you.

-- John Croes, Melbourne, FL







Player Spotlight“After watching Prem play at the local courts we were impressed with his style of play, his passion to help people and the way he conducted himself on the court. I was not sure how a lesson with myself and my wife would go as we are at different levels of play.Turned out awesome!! Prem identified our weak points and got us both doing drills together that helped us work out our issues. He

has a good eye for picking out details, the good and the bad, and is quick to use positive reinforcement when you do things right. We will definitely be taking another lesson before we head home to Vancouver Island and only wish we had better access to his expertise for the rest of the year.”

- Marc, Vancouver Island, BC
