About Jimmy

I'm a certified PPR pickleball instructor, fully insured, and a registered member of USA Pickleball. Sports have been my passion since day one, competing in various ball-related tournaments worldwide, consistently ranking in the top 10 of the 30-year-old division for an impressive 12 years. Alongside pickleball, I have a deep affection for boxing, racquetball, baseball, ping pong, and all things sports-related. With over two decades of coaching experience in softball, baseball, and soccer, I find joy in sharing invaluable insights that enhance performance and skill development. Lately, I've been thrilled to lend my expertise to numerous pickleball enthusiasts, eager to embark on this exhilarating, strategic, and highly social game, which demands precision in body motion, footwork, and technique.
