About your pickleball coach
As a passionate pickleball enthusiast and experienced tennis coach, I bring deep understanding of strategy, technique, and player development to the game. With years of coaching high-performance tennis players, my transition to pickleball was a natural evolution - one fueled by a love for competition, community and continuous learning. A major emphasis will be placed on placing the trainee on a path of self discovery for developing the student's ability to solve problems independently.
