Eileen Poss

After a 30-year professional career at a major global financial institution, Eileen decided to retire in 2018 and do more of what she loved - being outside and active!

Having been a competitive tennis player for the past 25 years (USTA, ALTA - Atlanta Lawn and Tennis), a pickleball paddle felt natural in her hands when she was introduced to the game. Little did she know that it would soon become her passion and introduce her to a fantastic "open-play" pickleball community in metro Atlanta.

After introducing dozens and dozens of new players to the game over the past several years, Eileen decided to attain her professional coaching certification in 2022. She enjoys teaching players of all ages and athletic skills and finds joy in seeing how quickly new players can learn the basics of the game and get in on the fun!

Over the past year, her coaching focus has been creating and leading corporate team-building events and volunteering with seniors. In addition, she is an active member and strategic advisor to the Atlanta Pickleball Club.
