## What is PB IQ?

PB IQ — Your Personal Pickleball Coach

Improve faster with PB IQ, the pickleball training app that builds your personalized development plan, coaches you with AI, and connects you to real coaches, leagues, and the players you play with.

AN AI COACH THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS YOUR GAME

Meet PBIQ, your always-available AI coach. Ask it anything — why a drill matters, how to fix your third shot drop, what to work on next. PBIQ knows your skill levels, your practice history, your goals, so every answer is about your game, not generic advice. It even speaks up on its own when something matters: a streak at risk, a new note from your coach, a milestone within reach.

A PLAN BUILT FOR YOU

Answer a few questions and PB IQ builds your personalized roadmap of focus areas and drills matched to your level and goals. New to pickleball? You'll start with a curated fundamentals plan. Working with a coach? Their plan weaves right into yours, always front and center.

PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE

• Browse a deep drill library organized by shot type and skill, with video demos
• Generate a Smart Session — a workout matched to your goals, in one tap
• Build your own session as you browse, then launch it from the Play tab
• Save favorite drills and create your own routines
• Start a multi-week Program like "5 Weeks to Perfect Dinking" or "Journey to 4.0" — self-paced, week by week
• Finish every session with a grounded recap: skills worked, medals earned, what's next

TRACK REAL PROGRESS

Earn bronze-to-platinum medals on every drill, watch your skill mastery climb by shot type, set a weekly goal, and keep your streak alive. Apple Health integration automatically detects your real-world pickleball outings so open play and games count too — not just app time. Follow your full practice and play history in one place.

WORK WITH A REAL COACH

Connect with your coach and the loop comes alive: they see your progress, share notes and session recaps, assign drills and message you directly — all inside the app. Coaches get a full toolkit: client rosters, group clinics and cohorts, lesson plan builders, booking links, and a daily briefing that surfaces which players need attention today.

COMPETE IN LEAGUES

Run ladder nights and traditional leagues right in the app. Ladder nights regroup courts by standings; traditional leagues play in fixed groups. Automatic matchups, score entry, point-differential standings, and a league group chat keep every night organized.

PLAY TOGETHER

Follow other players, tag the partners you played with, and discover featured routines and programs from the community and the people you follow.

LEARN THE GAME

A built-in Guide covers pickleball basics — from serving rules to the kitchen — plus everything the app can do, so you're never lost.

Whether you're chasing your first rally or your next DUPR milestone, PB IQ turns every practice into progress.

SUBSCRIPTION

PB IQ requires an auto-renewing subscription for full access to training features, including your personalized plan, PBIQ AI coaching, the drill library, Smart Sessions, Programs, and progress tracking. Coach tools — client rosters, clinics and cohorts, lesson plans, and the daily briefing — require a separate PB IQ Coach subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Ask PBIQ Anywhere
Tap into a coaching conversation straight from a
finished session or a focus area — PBIQ already knows
what you were working on.

A Better Session Recap
Your recap now leads with your progress journey and
tells the story of your session — including the games
you played, who you played with, and how close they
were.

Smarter Progress
Shot levels now reflect your weakest skill in that
shot, so you always know what's holding you back. Add
an entire shot type to your plan in one tap, and keep
checking skills you've already graduated.

Practice Insights
PBIQ now spots patterns in your practice — a neglected
focus, a stale check, a plateau — and suggests what to
do about it. Accept a suggestion and it updates your
