Stopped coaching tennis to dedicate my time to turn my son Kevin Orellana who is a tennis pro and who played few times against Taylor Fritz who's number 4 in the world right now.

Around five years back, I fell head over heels for this addictive sport after years of USTA tennis. Recognizing the nuanced finesse required in pickleball, I pursued proper training, eager to bridge the gap for players transitioning from other sports. As a senior player, I've found pickleball to offer an incredible workout with less strain on the body. That's why I became a certified coach through the Professional Pickleball Registry, dedicated to teaching the game cohesively and joyfully.

"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.

"I was only fortunate enough to know and work with David Byrne for a little over a month before he relocated to California, but that short time made a lasting impact on my game. I truly enjoyed his passion for golf and his genuine desire to help players get better. David often went out of his way to coach me between lessons whenever he wasn’t already busy teaching others—something I greatly appreciated. At 67 years old, I’m not looking to completely rebuild my golf swing, and David understood that from day one. His approach focuses on helping you find a swing thought that works for your swing, rather than forcing a onesizefitsall method. He helped me understand my swing plane and path, and how to consistently get into the right position before impact. After that, his favorite encouragement was always: ‘Turn the corner!’ And it worked. David is a talented instructor, an insightful coach, and an allaround good person. And watch out for his son—just a wee lad with a fabulous golf swing already! David’s passion clearly runs in the family.

"When Trenice sets her mind on something, her determination moves not just from her thoughts but straight from her heart. During our somatic sessions, she guided me with such gentleness through some of the most uncomfortable sensations I'd been carrying in my body.

With over 25 years of basketball playing experience, I cultivated my own skills and passion. I wasn't training with fancy trainers, I was simply putting the work in needed. This "back against the wall" mentality led me to division 1 basketball and playing professionally overseas for 6 years. When injuries took over, I began training aspiring pros coming out of college with no contract. I focused on the building of two players and both ended up getting contracts overseas. I train high school and middle school kids as well, but they must have a deep passion to get better. My focus is on personalized training to elevate each player's game in the respective ways needed for the individual. I bring seriousness, passion, planning, execution and expertise to a commitment of helping young aspiring hoopers excel.
