About NickHi! During my high school and college years, I played varsity tennis and even earned an invitation to the Junior Davis Cup tryouts. I then channeled my passion for the sport into coaching, leading to a head Varsity tennis coach in high school. These days, I've immersed myself in coaching pickleball, drawing from my rich tennis background to nurture and elevate players in this exciting game.
Unlike many other coaches I earned a California State Bachelors degree which included a fifth year California State Teaching Credential. This training has given me the special skills to teach and coach my students at all levels of the game. It’s my passion.
I recently won the Gold Medal 🏅in the Mixed Doubles at the Tri-Valley Pickle Ball Championships.Go to profileSuperCoach

“As a complete beginner, I really enjoy Coach Logan’s class because it’s tailored to my skill level. The class starts with the fundamentals and gradually progresses as I improve. Coach Logan is very passionate and always gives me helpful tips on how to get better, even pointing out small details I wouldn’t have noticed on my own. After taking his class, I feel much more confident playing pickleball. Highly recommend!”Carrie, student
About LoganStuck at 2.5–3.5? I specialize in individualized pickleball lessons for players who want to break through their plateau and build a strong, reliable foundation.
Many players reach 2.5–3.5 simply by playing more. But eventually, experience alone stops working. Their shots stay inconsistent—and often they don’t understand why.
That’s where I come in.
Every lesson is customized to identify what is really holding your game back and rebuild the foundation behind it.
I don’t just teach HOW to hit a shot.
You’ll understand:
WHY the shot works
WHEN to use it
WHAT to do in different situations
HOW to execute it consistently
Even within the HOW, you’ll learn the principles behind the technique—not just copy a motion—so you can recognize mistakes, make adjustments, and improve independently.
My approach:
Assess → Understand → Fix → Practice → Apply
We focus only on what your game actually needs—whether that’s your serve, return, drive, drop, dink, reset, footwork, positioning, or shot selection.
New to pickleball? You’re welcome too. Build the right foundation from day one so you can progress faster and avoid habits that become harder to fix later.
Understand Your Game. Build Your Foundation. Level Up.Go to profileSuperCoach

“Awesome with my teen boys. Highly recommend Blaise. He knows how to teach to the person’s specific needs. Really helpful!!!”Molly W., parentAbout BlaiseSave ~$10-15 per lesson with me by not having to purchase golf balls at the range!
Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers.
Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given well over 5,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. As a former multi-sport athlete, I like to find a students natural athleticism and teach a swing that revolves around what works best for the student.
Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible.
So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast.
I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!Go to profileSuperCoach
