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.

This lesson with Demario was quite helpful, especially since we did a variety of drills that really helped reinforce coordination and positioning. Though I think I'd benefit from even more drills to build muscle memory, I left feeling pretty confident about my progress and eager to practice what I learned. It’s a solid step forward, and Demario’s approach encourages steady improvement rather than rushing through techniques. If you’re looking to strengthen your fundamentals, I’d suggest giving his lessons a try.

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.

Wow, Demario's lesson was quite a journey. I really appreciated how he emphasized all the different levels involved, balance, reflex, decision making. It's like playing chess with my body, and I love it. Still, I think I need some practice dropping shots precisely where they need to go to be ready for the next one coming at me. But honestly, I left feeling more aware of how all these pieces come together, and that's pretty helpful. I’d be glad to try Demario again to build on this understanding.

The lesson on volley drills and positions with Demario really stood out for me, especially since he introduced spontaneous volley drills which kept things fresh and practical. Though I’ve had lessons before, these drills added a lot of value, making me more confident at the net. I still think a few more focused exercises could help even more, but overall, it was quite helpful. If you're looking to fine-tune your volley skills, Demario’s lessons are definitely worth trying.

Oh, that lesson with Demario really clicked for me. I mean, I love the psychology aspect of the game, and learning every shot actually feels like it helps me level up. Still, I think I need to win more points, but honestly, I’m quite hopeful about improving. It’s pretty good to have someone who’s so perceptive and makes the learning process feel relevant to real match situations. Definitely worth trying out if you want a thoughtful approach to your pickleball game.

Oh, I’ve gotta say, Demario’s lesson was pretty good. He’s patient and really kind, which I appreciated. Though I still want to get a better grasp on volleying at the net, I feel like I learned a lot about stroke placement and court positioning from him. Still, I’m hopeful I’ll improve with a few more lessons. Demario’s approach definitely made me consider new angles on my game. If you’re looking to sharpen your skills, it might be worth giving him a try.

Wow, Demario's lesson really kept me engaged, and the time just flew by, honestly. We focused on ball placement and approaching the net, which is quite helpful for keeping my opponent back. Still, I think I’ll need to practice those areas more, but I feel pretty good about the progress. If you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable pickleball lesson that covers practical tactics, I’d suggest giving Demario a shot.

Oh, the lesson was quite helpful, especially with the 7-11 drills and volleys. Still, I think doing some harder shots during those drills might help me get better at returning tough groundstrokes. Anyway, Demario has a good grasp of pickleball techniques, and I’ll probably try to improve my returns with that focus.
