"Great coach. I enjoyed his coaching.

With a 4.8 handicap and a passion for the game of golf, I love teaching people how to play and improve their skills. The joy for me comes from witnessing my students' success.

This is what drives my enthusiasm for coaching and helping others excel in golf.

"Been golfing for 10 years and never seems to get the right practice sessions in to improve my game. Mike was awesome! He started with the fundamentals and corrected what I was doing wrong pretty quick. Getting on the right track was easy with his instruction, and he gave me some take home drills to practice on outside of our lesson. 10/10 recommend him.

I'm a pickleball coach with three years of experience and a strong background in racket sports like tennis, badminton, squash, and table tennis. My journey with pickleball started after winning a few school tournaments, and it quickly became something I genuinely love! Drawing on skills from other racket sports, I focus on footwork, shot technique, and smart court strategies—all tailored to each player’s unique strengths. I’ve coached over 200 clients in both tennis and pickleball, helping them grow their game with confidence and consistency! One of my favorite parts of coaching is helping players develop powerful, accurate serves and unlocking parts of their game they didn’t even know they had! Whether it’s fine-tuning mechanics or building match-day mindset, I aim to help every player maximize their potential in a way that feels fun, challenging, and rewarding. I can speak English, Hindi, Telugu, Spanish, and basic French, which helps me connect with players from all kinds of backgrounds and create a welcoming, supportive environment—on and off the court!
