Pickleball
ConsultingFollow the TourThe mission–or picklosophy–is to take a thoughtful approach to pickleball that values and develops the experience of the people who play.
Derek Sawer,
Picklosopher is an expression of my passion for teaching and learning applied to pickleball and made to be shared with others. If you’ve longed for a more thoughtful, interesting, or indepth approach to what pickleball is and what it could be, then you have found the right place



I’ve been playing racket and paddle sports my entire life, but everything changed when I moved to New York to pursue a PhD in Philosophy
When I moved to New York for graduate school after COVID, I was starving for community. Playing pickleball in Brooklyn, I realized I felt like a better philosopher on the court than in the classroom. Pickleball emerged as something communal, joyful, and healthy—, exactly what was missing.
