About your pickleball coach
I bring to pickleball the most important technique that has made table tennis the fastest sport in the world for reaction time. As a 5.0+ player and former nationally ranked table tennis player (4th in Puerto Rico), I’ve developed a unique coaching method built on muscle memory, fast-twitch reactions, and precise footwork. My training style is inspired by the fundamentals of table tennis and tennis — not just hitting balls, but teaching your body to move naturally and efficiently. I break things down with high-rep shadow work and ping pong-style drills that help your shots become automatic. My favorite shot? The backhand. I love teaching it — flicks, rolls, resets — and I’ll help you turn it into one of your strongest weapons on the court. My backhand punch is my favorite shot, and I love helping players master rolls, flicks, and resets.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBefore your first lesson, I’ll send you a short video to watch as “homework” — just to get your mind and eyes familiar with the movement I’ll teach you. Then, in our first session, we’ll jump into movement drills and basic hitting. I’ll watch how you move and hit, and start pointing out key weaknesses and habits right away and give you some homework.
Lesson 11+Now it’s about refinement and confidence. We’ll personalize your training to fit your style — whether it’s dominating the kitchen, reacting faster, or setting up points with strategy. You’ll learn how to predict shots before they happen, control tempo, and stay one step ahead. I’ll help you make hard, difficult shots feel fluid, with a smooth, natural flow. At this point, you're not just playing — you're reading the game and taking control.
Lesson 4-10At this stage, I’ll start playing at a higher level against you, challenging your reactions and helping you adapt under pressure. While we play, I’ll make sure your movements still look natural and controlled — not forced or robotic. We’ll keep reinforcing muscle memory through game-speed drills and live rallies. You’ll work on timing, positioning, and shot selection so it starts to feel automatic.
Lesson 2-3We’ll follow up on the first lesson and your video homework to lock in the core movements. These sessions are all about building muscle memory through high-rep drills — especially for your backhand, resets, and footwork. I’ll correct details in your swing, stance, and movement to help your body start reacting naturally. You’ll start seeing big improvements in consistency and feel more in control of your shots.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonAt this stage, we shift into repetition and muscle memory. You already know the fundamentals — now it’s about tweaking small details and making sure your movements stay consistent under pressure. We’ll drill hard shots until they feel smooth and automatic.
Lesson 11+We are signing you up for a pro tournament at this time 😁
Lesson 4-10adjusting to different play styles, and staying in control of the pace.
Lesson 2-3You’ll also start learning how to predict your opponent’s next move, control tempo, and keep your game flowing naturally. It’s not just training — it’s sharpening.
What you need to bringJust a quick reminder for our lessons in Arizona: Please bring your own balls. I don't travel with them, so you'll need to have your own for us to use. See you there!
