I'm Bonnie Williams, Owner of Bonnie Williams Pickleball, a small start-up pickleball instruction company I began in March of 2020 after having some success teaching pickleball as a side-hustle on the local courts in my neighborhood in the Portland, Oregon area. Turns out teaching is a passion I must have gotten from my dad who taught high school his entire career. As a USTA Mid-Atlantic junior ranked tournament player that received a full tennis scholarship to the College of Charleston, I was fortunate to have received  high quality instruction from several fabulous tennis coaches which led to me becoming an NAIA All-American. Later, I became a full-time mother of two terrific children who happened to struggle with dyslexia which furthered my educational exposure to better understand the true value of different teaching and learning styles.
