Just want to teach you to crush the ball and go low. I’m a 23 year old kid that’s won on the SCPGA Jr. Tour trying to make enough money to compete in tournaments. I’ve been obsessed with the game of golf for over a decade and would love to share what I’ve learned to those wanting to take their game to the next level. Below are some of my swings and swings I have coached. Message for Junior rate.

"I’ve taken a few lessons with Jacob now and my swing has only improved. What I liked most is he helped me understand how to generate more power in my golf swing, which is something I’ve been wanting to improve on as an 51 year old golfer, and also how to get it out without putting strain on my body. He does a great job dumbing down concepts for someone like me to understand i.e. making analogies to other sports and for me that helps a lot since I did not grow up playing golf.

"As someone who has never taken a golf lesson before, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but you made the entire experience incredibly comfortable from the start. Being a family friend, I thought I might feel a little awkward or out of place, but it was the complete opposite. You were professional, patient, and surprisingly good at explaining things in a way that made everything feel simple and doable. I appreciated how you broke down the basics without overwhelming me, and how you gave feedback that was encouraging rather than intimidating. What really stood out was how natural the lesson felt—like learning from someone I trust, but still getting the kind of quality instruction I’d expect from a seasoned coach. By the end of the session, not only did I feel more confident in my swing, but I actually understood what I was doing and why. For a first lesson, that meant a lot. Thanks for making the experience such a positive one. I walked in unsure and walked out excited to keep learning—couldn’t ask for more from a coach or a friend.

"I had a really solid lesson with Steve, and the focus on my setup made a noticeable difference, which was quite helpful. Still, I’d say there’s room to fine-tune some aspects for better consistency. Though I’m optimistic about my progress, it’s definitely worth giving Steve a try if you want a grounded, practical approach.

I’m a dedicated speed and agility coach helping soccer, football, basketball, and baseball athletes become faster, quicker, and more explosive. My training focuses on acceleration, footwork, coordination, reaction time, and change of direction to help athletes gain a competitive edge and perform at their best!

I believe what makes me a good pickleball coach is that I’m very detail-oriented. I pay close attention to the small things—footwork, paddle angle, positioning, and shot mechanics—because those little details make a big difference in a player’s improvement. I also make learning fun and easy to understand. I know everyone learns differently, so I break skills down into simple steps and explain the “why” behind each technique. My goal is to create a positive environment where players feel comfortable asking questions, building confidence, and enjoying the game while improving every session.

Emphasize repetition, mindset, routine, and situational preparedness. I believe players improve through consistent, purposeful repetition that builds confidence and creates good habits. I focus on developing a strong mindset, being disciplined, resilience, and confident in both success and failure. Establishing daily routines helps players prepare mentally and physically, while situational drills teach them to anticipate the game, understand their role and be ready to execute.
