Hi! My name is Benjamin and I have been playing pickleball for over 10 years now. With that, I’ve seen exactly how much the game has changed over the last decade and grown alongside it. Now I’m a freshman at UT Austin studying mechanical engineering and playing on the competitive travel team. I’m young, energetic, and honestly just grateful for the chance to share all the knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I love playing and helping people actually advance to the next level, let’s do this.

"Working with Benjamin has been a game-changer for my overall court awareness. We focused heavily on the transition zone and hitting quality thirds to get to the net safely. He’s incredibly observant and catches the small habit flaws that most people miss. If you want to play a smarter, more strategic version of pickleball, I definitely suggest booking a session with him

I’ve been playing pickleball for five years now, and it’s become more than just a sport for me, t’s something I truly love. I’m always working to improve my own game because the challenge and joy of playing keep me coming back. My goal as a coach is to share that same passion and help my students not only improve their skills but also find the same enjoyment and community that hooked me from the start. They say, “Do what you love,” and for me, this is it.
