In just eight months, he climbed from a 2.7 to a 4.599 DUPR competing regularly with 4.5+ level players. That kind of trajectory isn’t accidental.

He thinks in terms of exchange ratios, positioning leverage, and when a speed-up truly earns you a 51–49 edge instead of opening you up to a counter. His fast hands and aggressive instincts are backed by thoughtful decision-making, helping players build controlled offense rather than reckless pace. What separates Brian is how clearly he sees the game. He understands rating systems, regional play styles, and how skill translates across levels. He’s studied what actually moves DUPR, what causes plateaus, and how to break through them—because he’s lived it. Whether you’re a 3.0 trying to stabilize your third shot, a 4.0 stuck at a ceiling, or a tournament player refining hands battles, Brian coaches with structure, intentionality, and measur… ## Pack prices - 1 prepaid lesson: $175 total, $175 per lesson - 3 prepaid lessons: $405 total, $135 per lesson - 10 prepaid lessons: $1200 total, $120 per lesson ## Where lessons happen - Rengstorff Park Pickleball Courts, Mountain View, California - Doerr Park, San Jose, California - West Valley College (Tennis Court), Saratoga, California - John Mise Park, San Jose, California - Guadalupe River Park (Tennis Court), San Jose, California - West Valley College, Santa Clara County, California - Pickleball City, Fremont, California - Calabazas Park (Tennis Court), San Jose, California ## Reviews > I got an hour of pickleball coaching from Brian. He helped me better understand the mistakes I’m making and the adjustments I need to improve. A lot of my shots weren’t getting under the ball enough. I also never really understood how to do a topspin drop shot. I had only been doing a basic push drop. He taught me how to do a topspin drop in about 15 minutes. My drives were also very weak because I was mostly using my arm. He showed me how to load up my back leg so I can serve and drive harder. He also fixed my backhand roll volley and flicks. Overall, I learned a lot. It was a very pleasant… > From Francis, 5 out of 5 > Thank you so much for such an amazing coaching session and the detailed follow-up instructions! I learned so much in just one hour—it honestly exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely recommend you to any pickleball player who is looking to learn or take their skills to the next level. You’re a truly natural coach. You quickly identified exactly what I need to improve and gave me clear, specific, and actionable steps to practice and build those skills. I’m really excited to keep working on everything you taught me! > From Bianca, 5 out of 5 > Brian's lesson was amazing and I really enjoyed the 1 h lesson with my son. Brian has rich knowledge and improved our skills of pickleball. While he taught us, he was watching our body movements and paddle face and he corrected the right places. That helps us to improve and he knows the pickleball game strategy, next time we offer him to have a lesson to improve our game. > From Hiriko, 5 out of 5 > Working with Brian really helped my game. He has an outstanding ability to observe small nuances in technique and give advice that can be implemented immediately. His background in badminton gives him a unique perspective, especially with footwork, that translates directly to the pickleball court. I can’t recommend him enough!! > From Ted, 5 out of 5 > Thank you! > From Hiromi, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-brian-ying): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/4452397f-5984-4975-9236-ed7e3c664df2): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
