"great session with John - provided lots of good tips and feedback
Hi, I am a 20-year-old student at UCR, and over the past 2 years, I have developed a passion for pickleball. My journey with pickleball began in 2022, igniting a passion that has quickly propelled me to a DUPR rating of 4.85. In the 2 tournaments I have competed in, I remain unbeaten with a 19-0 record. Beyond tournaments, my skills have been consistently tested and proven on the courts of Maple Hill, iPickle Whittier, and iPickle LaHabra, where I perform well against players rated 4.5 and above. Drawing from my background as a soccer coach, I understand the transformative power of mentorship and am eager to share my pickleball knowledge to help others excel in the sport. With a commitment to continuous improvement and a drive to empower aspiring players, I'm dedicated to guiding fellow enthusiasts towards reaching their full potential on the pickleball court.

I believe what makes me a good pickleball coach is that Iâm very detail-oriented. I pay close attention to the small thingsâfootwork, paddle angle, positioning, and shot mechanicsâbecause those little details make a big difference in a playerâs improvement. I also make learning fun and easy to understand. I know everyone learns differently, so I break skills down into simple steps and explain the âwhyâ behind each technique. My goal is to create a positive environment where players feel comfortable asking questions, building confidence, and enjoying the game while improving every session.
Fueled from a life long passion for racquet sports including playing for UC Irvine tennis 1986-1990, I became a dedicated pickleball enthusiast in January 2021. I started at over 190 lbs and currently am at 160 lbs and in the best shape I have been for the last 20+ years, so I know the benefits of pickleball. Not to mention the wide array of good friends I have made over the years. I currently compete at the Senior Pro level and my DUPR rating is over 5.0 in both singles and doubles. I work with all levels of pickleball players and have coached students now competing at the professional level. I am an IPTPA certified instructor and my teaching philosophy is not just about how to swing the paddle, but teaching the art of pickleball - strategy, spins, footwork, and how to get the most out of your game.
