Alexander Valencia profile
About Alexander

In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success, medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.

What students say...

"The lesson with Alexander provided valuable feedback that really helped me understand some of my weak spots. Though I still need to make progress on certain techniques, I'm hopeful that with more practice and additional lessons, I'll improve further. I'm still gaining confidence, and it’s encouraging to see that there’s more to work on. Still, I’d say it's a good step forward, and I might consider trying another lesson with him to keep refining my skills.

Level: Beginner•Lessons taken: 5•Verified ✓
I think the lesson with Alexander was quite useful. I learned how to hold the paddle while serving and how to execute a two-handed backhand, which definitely clarified some techniques I was unsure about. Though I still want to improve my serves to be faster and more accurate, and need to get better at approaching the kitchen when playing, I'm hopeful that with more practice, I'll get closer and sharpen those skills. If you’re looking for a focused and practical pickleball lesson, Alexander's a good choice.

The lesson with Alexander was quite good, especially in how he explained positioning and shot control, which are areas I wanted to work on. Though I still have some room to improve, I felt the lesson was quite helpful and I left with some clear strategies. I think his approach could really help if you’re aiming to sharpen specific techniques in pickleball. Still, I’m hoping to build on what I learned and see more progress soon. If you're looking to refine your game, I’d suggest giving Alexander a try.

We have taken a few trainings with Ben Schwartz and have loved it! Ben’s a tremendous teacher of the game and is passionate about working with people of all skill levels. He consistently asks what each person wants to work on and tailors lessons based on the responses. Ben is very down to earth and creates an environment conducive to improving and having fun while doing it. Anybody looking to pick up the game or wanting to hone their skills would benefit greatly from working with Ben!

I set this up as a surprise for my wife since she had shown interest in getting better at the game and Ben was the right choice! He showed her all the basics and quickly moved on to reps in different scenarios while taking in her skill level and coaching her from there. They filled the full hour, his coaching style was comfortable and supportive, and she had a lot of fun too. Thanks, Ben!

I'm quite happy with how the lesson highlighted my serve and the way Alexander broke down the key movements. Though I still need more practice, I feel better prepared to build on what I learned.

Ben’s lesson was very helpful, especially in how attentive he was to my specific needs.

Still, I hope to become an advanced player someday, and I believe continued lessons with him would support that goal.
