"Coach Nadesh is awesome, I’m a beginner and we started with forehand, then backhand and then some real back and forth. He served the ball well so I was able to keep practicing on my forms and I could feel the difference right after our session. Highly recommend

Reco
I started playing tennis at a young age and competed through college. My coaching journey began with summer camps, where I worked with kids of all ages and adults. After discovering pickleball one summer, I quickly fell in love with the game and transitioned into coaching it. I'm here to help you elevate your game to the next level, whether you're new to pickleball or looking to refine your skills.
"Coming from a competitive background in combat sports ,pickleball has become my new passion. I recently started competing again and I needed that some one to help me get to the next level. After my time playing with Coach Manny, he has picked my game apart and helped me understand what is useful and disregard what is not. After today’s lesson I feel not just 1% better but I have a complete better understanding of pickleball and the drills have exploited my weakness and turned them into improving strengths. Thanks Coach Manny! Ig @ pickleNINJA_

John
I bring 19 years of experience playing and learning the game of golf, with a background as a college-level athlete and collegiate golf team player, and extensive competitive experience. During high school, my team qualified for the state championships, and during that same period I competed in high-level matches, including a head-to-head match against Sam Horsfield, giving me early exposure to elite competition and pressure situations. While I have a strong understanding of the technical side of the golf swing, my teaching approach is not overly technical. I’m a feel-based player, and just like I play the game, I teach it—focusing on feel, awareness, and simple keys that translate naturally to the course. I believe great golf comes from understanding what to feel, not being overloaded with mechanics. A major part of my instruction focuses on the mental side of the game, which I believe is often overlooked. I’ve studied golf psychology extensively, including Bob Rotella’s golf psychology work, and I help students develop confidence, commitment, and trust under pressure. I’ve worked with golfers of all skill levels, helping students improve ball-striking, consistency, confidence, and course management. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, emphasizing changes that are easy to understand, repeat, and hold up on the course. My goal is simple: help you play better golf on the course, not just hit good shots on the range. If you’re serious about improving and want coaching that blends experience, feel-based instruction, and a strong mental approach, I’d love to work with you.
"Amazing! Loved his coaching ! Super amazing skills :)

"That lesson with Zach was quite helpful, making the whole experience both informative and fun. I feel the lesson aloud more confidence and smoothing out my swing, I already feel like I’m heading in the right direction and can’t wait to see further improvement.
