About your pickleball coach
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.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is always for beginners to become familiar with all the rules. Introduce serves, returns, footwork, technique, strategy, and basic drills all at the pace of the student’s learning curve. Also simulated games to build the student’s muscle memory.
Lesson 2-3Faster paced drills and games as all rules should be starting to become muscle memory. As we do this I can test the ability of the student and find areas where they need most improvement.
Lesson 4-10Focus on specific areas where the student needs most improvement and do unique drills that will allow the student to develop the specific area of their game. I also like to find people to play doubles games with the student so they can practice in a more competitive environment.
Lesson 11+More advanced high paced drills to try and improve their weaknesses. Playing with the student in games. Coaching them through games, focusing on strategy, positioning, and teamwork.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonI would first ask if there’s anything specific the student is looking to work on in their game. I would assess through drills what they need to practice to make improvements. If there’s nothing specific that they are looking for, I will assess through basic drills what weaknesses are in their game. From there we will improve their weaknesses through diagnosing the cause of their mistakes (footwork, paddle angle, swing speed, theory, backswing, etc). After, we will repeatedly practice the action to correct the bad habits that create the weakness, and to create muscle memory that will translate to real game situations.
Lesson 2-3Continue with drilling and training better habits to create more consistency with shots. I will make sure the student is comfortable in all potential game situations. Whether that being at the kitchen line, middle court, or at the serving line. I like to play the student to see what it is they are doing and what it looks like from an opponent’s perspective. I will give them tips and suggestions on how they can make the game more difficult for their opponents. For example, this could be mixing up different shots, hitting different spots, or disguising their shots by using different swing techniques.
Lesson 4-10I like to start with the same drill they are trying to master. Then continue with 1 on 1 games, and coaching throughout the games. Additionally, I always like to do drills that dont necessarily target weaknesses but help with developing touch and general improvement.
Lesson 11+I still like to do general drills, such as 7/11 or dinking games that are great for warm up, and drill real game situations. This would lead into us playing games together, where I could coach you and play with you against other players. Or if preferred by the student, we can agree on a drill that they like that is great training a specific area of the game.
What you need to bringAll you will need to bring is your paddle, and enough water for the lesson.
What I can bringI will provide everything necessary, including the paddle(s) if needed.
