Having advanced in the pro circuit for singles and medaled in both singles and doubles events at the highest level, I bring extensive competitive experience to my coaching. Currently, I teach in three different city programs, focusing on developing the basics and foundation of the game.

Kevin Nguyen is a pickleball coach who blends his athletic background and business acumen into a unique, structured approach to player development. A former varsity tennis player, Kevin rediscovered his passion for racket sports during his two years in Austin, Texas—the pickleball capital of the U.S.—where he immersed himself in the sport’s competitive and community-driven culture. Before coaching, Kevin spent years building and training franchise systems, where consistency, process, and performance were key. That experience now shapes his coaching philosophy: create clear frameworks, build strong foundations, and develop repeatable habits that lead to long-term success. Through his programs, Kevin helps players not only understand how to improve, but also why each step matters—just like training a high-performing team or franchise partner.
