Private Lessons & Coaches in San Marcos, TX

I was signed as a NFL QB for the Cleveland Browns in 2020 after being one of 17 quarterbacks selected to attend the 2020 NFL Combine in Indianapolis. I played college football at Princeton University from 2016-2019 and am excited to share all I have learned with you. Growing up in California, I had a few of the best quarterback coaches in the country, named Tom House and Adam Dedeaux. They were the QB coaches for Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, Justin Herbert, etc. I look forward to working together and passing along my knowledge and experience.

"Kevin's lesson was quite helpful, I appreciated his patience and clear communication about my specific inefficiencies. Though only one lesson, I felt more confident about my technique now. Honestly, it’s enough to keep me motivated to improve further. If you're looking for a straightforward and knowledgeable coach, Kevin might be a good choice to try out.

For over 16 years, I've guided athletes in mastering football fundamentals and advanced strategies. My passion lies in fostering both skill development and a deep love for the game. I strive to help each player reach their full potential, both on and off the field.

Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 2 months after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament. Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now forever

My coaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation of fundamental skills while nurturing each player's individual talents and building lasting relationships with those I coach.

With a lifelong passion for racquet and paddle sports, I've dedicated six years to playing, competing, and teaching pickleball. My journey in racquet sports began with junior and collegiate tennis, and later, I transitioned to racquetball, achieving remarkable success with 14 national titles in singles and doubles, a world doubles title as part of Team USA, and a world ranking of #3 on the pro tour. Pickleball has been a natural extension of my racquet sports expertise, and in every tournament I've entered, I've emerged victorious or landed in the top three. My love for these games drives me to teach and share my knowledge, making me a dedicated and accomplished pickleball player and instructor.
