I am a pickleball player, former health and fitness coach, and currently working in a private practice as an associate clinical mental health therapist. Pickleball is a sport I value for its creativity, physical challenge, and its ability to both quiet and challenge the mind. In my coaching, I go beyond advanced pickleball technique by integrating the mental side of the game. I represented the Czech Republic at the 2025 Pickleball World Cup Championship in Fort Lauderdale and designed a pickleball-based therapy program for teens with anxiety and depression—helping players build confidence, focus, and resilience both on and off the court.

"What sets my pickleball coach apart is his rare combination of elite athletic experience and analytical thinking. As a former badminton champion and an engineer, he understands how physics strategy and mechanics intersect on the court - and he explains it in a way that makes immediate sense. He quickly identifies what's happening in your stroke, clearly explains why it's happening, and shows you exactly how to fix it. He adapts his teaching to the individual player, which makes his coaching incredibly effective. I've gained both confidence and a deeper understanding of the game because of him.
