About Patrick

Hey friends, I have played racket sports most of my life. My favorite thing to teach is being joyful on and off the court! I play 10-20 hrs a week and I teach pickleball at the Owosso YMCA. My training in martial arts, body work, physical fitness and nutrition have taught me how to move with ease, power and control. If you are new to pickleball or looking for some skills training I have the tools and experience to support the growth you seek.

Depending on the young person's comfort with paddle sports, we begin with footwork and ability to hit the ball.
