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.

"Very professional

Whether you are just starting out or looking to become more competitive, I’m here to help you take your game to the next level and develop a basis from which to build a strong balanced game. I coach Doubles, Mixed Doubles, and Singles, working best at the 2.0 to 4.5 levels. Lesson formats and content depend in part on your level of experience, fundamental skill strength, athletic ability, and general game sense. We will usually work on a combination of technique and stroke, footwork, strategy and tactics, solo and partner drills, and live gameplay situations. I adapt my coaching style to what you respond best to. I’m not an intense person, nor am I too relaxed. I’m here to be helpful and get you the results you’re looking for while enjoying the beautiful game of Pickleball. I’ll give you practical tips, drills, and focus points to take home and work on. I’ll help you develop a game that plays to your strengths, while helping you cover and improve other areas where you might need more practice. I have a background in Physics and approach the game from a scientific perspective with regard to the social and mental aspects that make Pickleball so fun. I’ve played competitive singles at the 4.0 level and am in a regular MLP-style league playing doubles and mixed doubles. I play a balanced game, with a slightly modern style focusing on placement, consistency, and well-placed power only when appropriate. If you’re ready to have the experiences you’ve looking for, I’m here to help you get there. Can work in the Napa area on weekends, Hidden Valley Lake/Lake County areas, or Bay Area during the week.

"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.
