"AMAZING COACH!!! So sweet and patient!! Was early and ready to go and very accommodating! My first lesson, but I felt like I learned so much!!

I coached youth tennis for about a year at Southern California Tennis Academy, working with players of different ages and skill levels. My coaching style is technical, patient, and focused on steady improvement. I enjoy breaking down strokes, footwork, and shot selection in a way that feels clear and useful. As a player, I played 4 years of varsity and a handful of junior tournaments, getting to a 7.3 UTR. Based on my skill level, I can best serve beginners to high intermediates.

"Eli did a really good job breaking down complex motions and ideas with helpful metaphors. I really appreciate how he adjusted to my skill level and met me where I was.

In addition to coaching Pickleball, I am deeply passionate about golf—a game I’ve loved since 2007. Over the years, I’ve not only dedicated myself to improving my own skills but also found joy in sharing the game with others. Each year, I volunteer at the Celebrity Tournament, an experience that keeps me connected to the excitement and community of the sport. One of my most memorable moments was playing in a tournament alongside a professional golfer. That experience shifted my perspective from an amateur’s approach to seeing the game through a pro’s vision—completely transforming how I play and how I teach. My goal is to help others make that same leap in their game, whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your skills. Golf is more than just a sport—it’s a great way to spend quality time with friends and family, enjoy the outdoors, and stay active. If you’re ready to learn, I’d love to help you take your first swing and discover all the joy golf has to offer.

"Coach Katherine is an outstanding golf instructor! She is patient, knowledgeable, and makes every lesson enjoyable while helping you improve your game. She has a great eye for identifying what needs to be adjusted in your swing and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. After just a few lessons, I noticed more consistency, better ball striking, and increased confidence on the course.

Here’s a clean, strong bio you can use for “Teach Me,” written in your voice and style: ⸻ Pickleball Coach Bio I’ve been playing pickleball for the past two years and quickly fell in love with the game, both competitively and as a way to bring people together. My background goes much deeper than pickleball though. I’ve spent over 10 years mentoring and teaching across sports, helping athletes build confidence, improve fundamentals, and actually enjoy the process of getting better. My focus is on beginner to intermediate players. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle or looking to level up your consistency and strategy, I create a relaxed, supportive environment where you can improve without feeling overwhelmed. I believe pickleball should be fun, social, and rewarding, while still giving you the tools to compete and win. ⸻ What I Focus On To Get You to the Next Level * Solid Fundamentals First Grip, footwork, positioning, and shot mechanics that actually hold up in real games. * Consistency Over Flash Cutting down unforced errors so you can win more points without needing risky shots. * Smart Court Positioning Learning where to be and when, especially at the kitchen line. * Dinking with Purpose Not just keeping the ball in play, but setting up your advantage. * Transition Game How to move from defense to offense without getting burned. * Partner Communication Simple strategies to play better as a team and avoid confusion on the court. * Game Awareness & Strategy Reading opponents, recognizing patterns, and making smarter decisions point by point. * Confidence Building Helping you trust your game so you play relaxed, not tight.

"I started playing pickleball barely knowing the rules, positioning, or strategy. Working with Michael completely changed my game. His coaching style made everything easy to understand and fun, while still pushing me to improve every session. In a short amount of time, I went from a beginner to now competing at almost a 3.5 level in rec play and local tournaments. My confidence, consistency, shot selection, and court awareness have improved dramatically. What really stands out is how much Michael genuinely cares about helping people get better. He brings great energy, patience, and real experience to every lesson. Honestly, without Michael, I don’t know where my game would be today. I’m incredibly grateful for all the time and knowledge he’s shared with me. -Blair
