In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success, medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.
"The lesson with Alexander provided valuable feedback that really helped me understand some of my weak spots. Though I still need to make progress on certain techniques, I'm hopeful that with more practice and additional lessons, I'll improve further. I'm still gaining confidence, and it’s encouraging to see that there’s more to work on. Still, I’d say it's a good step forward, and I might consider trying another lesson with him to keep refining my skills.

With two decades on the field as a player, a referee, and a coach, I cultivate confidence, self-awareness, and joy through soccer in players of all levels. This is a time to change things up and find out where your strengths shine and where they hold you back from challenging yourself. Progress over perfection, embracing failure to reach understanding, and introspection without judgement. This is a team sport and there are no weak links; only players that want to succeed, players that want to grow, and players that are content with their skill staying where it is.

As a high-performance coach, I've had the privilege of coaching my daughter and her teammate to become All-American collegiate tennis players. My daughter has since transitioned to professional pickleball, winning a silver medal on the PPA tour and competing against top players like Anna Leigh Waters and Ben Johns. I continue to support her career by advising and drilling with her regularly. Now, I am a 4.5 pickleball player, author and podcaster.

"I'm getting quite a bit from Raman’s lessons, particularly the practical drills that really help sharpen my match play skills. Though I’d love to see a focus on preparing for a championship someday, I appreciate how measured his approach is. Still, there’s room to deepen specific tactical work for competition, which I hope will come as I progress. If you're looking for honest, useful guidance, Raman might be worth trying out.
