Fueling court confidence is my specialty. For two years, I've helped players elevate their pickleball game. I bring passion, tailored strategies, and my experience as a dedicated player to every lesson.
What started as a love for the game quickly turned into something more — a passion for teaching it. I’m a certified pickleball instructor who has competed and thrived at the highest competitive levels, earning 5.0 tournament victories and stepping onto the court against top-25 PPA professionals. That experience playing against the best in the game isn’t just a cool story, I have felt the pace, the strategy, and the pressure of elite-level pickleball firsthand, and brings all of that to every lesson and clinic. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle for the first time or grinding to break into the 4.0+ ranks, I meet you exactly where you are. The goal is simple: help you have more fun, win more points, and fall in love with this game the same way it happened for me. Let’s rally. Book a session today.
Here’s a clean, strong bio you can use for “Teach Me,” written in your voice and style: ⸻ Pickleball Coach Bio I’ve been playing pickleball for the past two years and quickly fell in love with the game, both competitively and as a way to bring people together. My background goes much deeper than pickleball though. I’ve spent over 10 years mentoring and teaching across sports, helping athletes build confidence, improve fundamentals, and actually enjoy the process of getting better. My focus is on beginner to intermediate players. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle or looking to level up your consistency and strategy, I create a relaxed, supportive environment where you can improve without feeling overwhelmed. I believe pickleball should be fun, social, and rewarding, while still giving you the tools to compete and win. ⸻ What I Focus On To Get You to the Next Level * Solid Fundamentals First Grip, footwork, positioning, and shot mechanics that actually hold up in real games. * Consistency Over Flash Cutting down unforced errors so you can win more points without needing risky shots. * Smart Court Positioning Learning where to be and when, especially at the kitchen line. * Dinking with Purpose Not just keeping the ball in play, but setting up your advantage. * Transition Game How to move from defense to offense without getting burned. * Partner Communication Simple strategies to play better as a team and avoid confusion on the court. * Game Awareness & Strategy Reading opponents, recognizing patterns, and making smarter decisions point by point. * Confidence Building Helping you trust your game so you play relaxed, not tight.
"I started playing pickleball barely knowing the rules, positioning, or strategy. Working with Michael completely changed my game. His coaching style made everything easy to understand and fun, while still pushing me to improve every session. In a short amount of time, I went from a beginner to now competing at almost a 3.5 level in rec play and local tournaments. My confidence, consistency, shot selection, and court awareness have improved dramatically. What really stands out is how much Michael genuinely cares about helping people get better. He brings great energy, patience, and real experience to every lesson. Honestly, without Michael, I don’t know where my game would be today. I’m incredibly grateful for all the time and knowledge he’s shared with me. -Blair
Hi, I am a 20-year-old student at UCR, and over the past 2 years, I have developed a passion for pickleball. My journey with pickleball began in 2022, igniting a passion that has quickly propelled me to a DUPR rating of 4.85. In the 2 tournaments I have competed in, I remain unbeaten with a 19-0 record. Beyond tournaments, my skills have been consistently tested and proven on the courts of Maple Hill, iPickle Whittier, and iPickle LaHabra, where I perform well against players rated 4.5 and above. Drawing from my background as a soccer coach, I understand the transformative power of mentorship and am eager to share my pickleball knowledge to help others excel in the sport. With a commitment to continuous improvement and a drive to empower aspiring players, I'm dedicated to guiding fellow enthusiasts towards reaching their full potential on the pickleball court.

Hi, my name is Mahlon and I’m addicted to pickleball! I grew up playing racquet sports like racquetball and ping pong and I’m a former college football player. I’ve been playing pickleball for over a year now and I’ve competed in 9 tournaments so far, with several gold and silvers medals to my credit. I have a patient teaching style, centered on sound fundamentals, and shot mechanics. I can help you avoid the mistakes many beginners make, and have you on the medal podium before know it!
Hi. Pickleballer. If you always hit ball out or hit the net often, scared of banger hit hard ball on you, can't return the drinks shots on kitchen, hating return lob shots, reset , 3rd drop shot, bad backhand shots, bad footwork cause injury, smashing ball to the net...... Or return ball too high and got smashed I can help you all of that. I do 1 on 1 fully attention coaching . I have more than 10 clients every week for past 3 years.
Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully. Let's smash some volleys and serve up smiles together on the court!
"terrific coach, informed caring and supportive!!!
