Hi, I’m Michael Stine III, a PPR Certified Professional Pickleball Coach and competitive player based in Southern California. I’ve been playing pickleball for over two years and competing at a high level in CAPA, iPickle, collegiate tournaments, and even internationally in Italy. I’ve coached athletes ranging from ages 8 to 60+, including Junior PPA and National Junior Pickleball champions. Many of my students have gone on to win tournaments at the 3.0–4.5 levels in singles, doubles, and mixed divisions. My coaching approach focuses on developing strong fundamentals and technical precision, smart strategy and tactical awareness, and mental toughness to elevate your game quickly. Whether you’re a beginner learning proper technique or an advanced player refining your competitive edge, I’ll tailor each session to your specific goals and skill level. I believe in building confidence through consistency, positivity, and game-based learning so you’ll not only improve but have fun doing it. Let’s get you ready to compete at your best and level up your pickleball game!
"Michael is legit! He explains everything so well and he’s super nice. I’ve improved so much from the pickleball tips he’s given me!
Kevin Nguyen is a pickleball coach who blends his athletic background and business acumen into a unique, structured approach to player development. A former varsity tennis player, Kevin rediscovered his passion for racket sports during his two years in Austin, Texas—the pickleball capital of the U.S.—where he immersed himself in the sport’s competitive and community-driven culture. Before coaching, Kevin spent years building and training franchise systems, where consistency, process, and performance were key. That experience now shapes his coaching philosophy: create clear frameworks, build strong foundations, and develop repeatable habits that lead to long-term success. Through his programs, Kevin helps players not only understand how to improve, but also why each step matters—just like training a high-performing team or franchise partner.
