"Honestly, I’ve been really happy with how my lessons has gone. My swing feels more fluid and, surprisingly, doesn’t cause any pain anymore. Still, I think focusing a bit more on my forehand could make a real difference. Pedro’s approach is steady, and I appreciate the subtle improvements I notice, definitely worth trying out if you want a measured, practical boost in your tennis game.

I am a pickleball player, former health and fitness coach, and currently working in a private practice as an associate clinical mental health therapist. Pickleball is a sport I value for its creativity, physical challenge, and its ability to both quiet and challenge the mind. In my coaching, I go beyond advanced pickleball technique by integrating the mental side of the game. I represented the Czech Republic at the 2025 Pickleball World Cup Championship in Fort Lauderdale and designed a pickleball-based therapy program for teens with anxiety and depression—helping players build confidence, focus, and resilience both on and off the court.

Golfing and student of the game for 50 years now. .My philosophy is keep the swing simple and effective. Swing changes are hard so let’s work with what you have unless you are committed to making wholesale swing changes. Fundamentals are key: grip, alignment, posture and swing plane. No crazy gimmicky exaggerated moves: club on plane w a square face, and aligned to target. Let’s get you proficient and confident so you can get out play and enjoy the game.
"Really appreciated the lesson, mostly because I felt like I actually improved my golf game with Paul’s guidance. If you’re looking to make steady progress, it’s worth giving Paul a try.

Now, I channel my love for the game into coaching, serving as the head coach for both the boys' and girls' tennis teams at Montgomery High School. I maintain my competitive edge by playing several times a week with former Division 1 players, keeping my skills sharp and staying connected to the evolving dynamics of the game.
