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!
I'm a passionate and easygoing pickleball coach who loves helping players of all levels grow and enjoy the game. I've won multiple gold medals in mixed and gender doubles across various tournaments, and I bring that competitive experience into every session. I've coached seniors, kids, beginners, and novice players, focusing and building strong fundaments while keeping things fun and engaging. As a bilingual coach fluent in Mandarin, Cantonese, and English.
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!!!
