About Stephen

Hi, my name is Stephen. I’m a 5.0 singles and doubles Pickleball player. I’m a competitive tournament player that plans to start playing the pro circuit soon, but also have a passion for coaching and helping others. My coaching style is a combination of encouraging, fun, while also trying to get the best out of my students. Before pickleball I was a 2-sport collegiate athlete, and have coached numerous athletes. Furthermore, as a competitive player myself, I am constantly studying, learning, and seeking to improve as a player and a coach. I am continuously learning, and stay up to date with the latest strategies, techniques, and developments in the game. Pickleball is constantly evolving, and is about situational awareness and adaptability. I aim to help my students apply these concepts as well.

What impressed me the most was the clear recap of the last lesson, focused backhand work, and detailed explanation of the 3rd shot drop, which Kristen both demonstrated and helped practice. The 7/11 drill was a great way to apply these skills. If you’re interested in improving your pickleball game, Kristen’s lessons are definitely worth trying.

I really enjoyed learning the basics along with practicing dinks and trying the 7-11 drills. Kristen’s approach helped me focus on key skills in a clear and engaging way. If you want to improve your pickleball fundamentals, her lessons are definitely worth checking out. The pace was just right to build confidence while having fun on the court.

It was a pretty straightforward lesson with Jake, and I appreciated his patience and knowledge, especially when it came to refining my serve, though I still have work to do there. Still, I left feeling more confident about my game and ready to keep practicing. If you’re looking for a low-key, practical approach, Jake’s probably worth a shot.

That lesson clicked for me, especially those seven eleven drills at the end, and I’m leaving with confidence in my drives, dialing in technique a bit more. Lesson highlights linger, and I’m hopeful.

A strong lesson with Kristen, and the recap helped reset my focus on backhand drops and drives. Two games kept things lively, though I’m hungry for more basics and another Skinny match, soon.
