Dr. Charles H. Patti
Professor. Competitor. Coach.
The Story
Dr. Charles "Chuck" Patti brings a unique combination of academic rigor and competitive fire to pickleball coaching. As a professor at the University of Denver's Daniels College of Business and Queensland University of Technology, he approaches the sport with the same analytical mindset he brings to the classroom.
Chuck discovered pickleball and quickly became obsessed with the strategic depth of the game. What started as recreation evolved into competitive play at the national level, where he competes in both singles and doubles events.
His coaching philosophy is built on the belief that pickleball is as much a mental game as a physical one. Through structured curriculum, video analysis, and progressive drills, he helps players of all levels develop the strategy and instincts needed to compete at their best.
