Will Coffey

Will Coffey, a dedicated member of Team ONIX hailing from Bowling Green, Kentucky, first encountered the thrilling sport of pickleball during a family vacation to Hilton Head, South Carolina. It was at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis and Pickleball Center where he first picked up a paddle, and he felt an instant connection to the game. Will quickly recognized that pickleball brought him more joy than basketball, which had previously been his primary sport. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a remarkable three-year journey into competitive pickleball.

As a high school student, Will skillfully balances his academics while working part-time as a pickleball instructor in his local community. He takes pride in representing Team ONIX with his gear, which includes the ONIX Evoke Premier Pickleball Paddle (12mm), a White Pro Team Paddle Bag, and a Premier Lite Adjustable Pickleball Hat. These selections are not just about style; they deliver the power, control, and performance that he needs to excel, along with the organization that aids him during both training sessions and competitive matches.

What truly captivates Will about pickleball is the spirit of competition intertwined with the camaraderie it fosters. He states, “Competing at the highest levels of pickleball is incredibly rewarding, but it’s the friendships and connections I’ve formed that keep me motivated to continue.” This sense of community is a significant aspect of the sport that he cherishes deeply.

One of Will’s biggest inspirations in the pickleball realm is pro player Altaf Merchant. Will admires Merchant not only for his exceptional skills but also for his unwavering determination and influence within the sport. As for his personal aspirations, Will has set clear yet ambitious goals: to maximize his potential and become the best player he can possibly be.
