Play Pickleball at Holman D. Rhoton Park

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.

"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.
