I’m a certified PPR Pickleball Pro with a deep passion for teaching and inspiring players to elevate their game. Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to work with both small groups and larger clinics of up to 18 participants, which has been incredibly rewarding. This year, I earned the US Open Singles 4.0 Gold and the APP Silver Medal in Doubles 4.0.

"Coach Dr. Dakar is very patient in teaching. He formulates lesson plans based on my weaknesses or what skills I need to improve. He records my lessons and encourages me to watch and write my observations what are my strengths and weaknesses. And those skills to improve are discussed and practiced the following lesson sessions. He’s very efficient!! Thank you Coach

"Honestly, I found the lesson quite helpful, Julio paid attention to my specific needs and offered practical advice. The lesson highlight that stood out was his focus on improving my serve consistency, which I feel more confident about now.

Still, it’s good to see a measured approach that isn’t rushed, and I think others might find it worth trying out Julio.

"Coach Earnest is truly exceptional. From the very first session, he’s made tennis both engaging and genuinely fun for me. What sets him apart is his sharp focus on fundamentals—he doesn’t just let me hit balls for the sake of it. He carefully identifies bad habits, corrects my posture, and helps me build a solid tactical foundation. Every lesson feels purposeful and tailored to my improvement. Thanks to his guidance, I not only enjoy the game more, but I also see real progress in my technique and confidence on the court. I can honestly say I see myself becoming a much stronger, smarter player under his coaching.

"Came in as a pure beginner of the game and foreign to the idea of being an athlete. She was also dealing personal obstacles but that did not stop her from attending sessions. Juliet, through her perseverance and resilience, became a much better libero, something that was her main priority in taking private lessons with me.
