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.

I have a passion for working with students and helping them learn. Witnessing my players' growth and development as individuals gives me a tremendous sense of accomplishment. When I can positively influence their skills, I feel fulfilled in my role as a coach. Additionally, I strive to foster a friendly and supportive relationship with my players, as I believe that being seen as a friend first, then a coach, is crucial for maximizing the learning potential and making lessons engaging and enjoyable for the students. In group lessons, I incorporate diverse group exercises to enhance the overall learning experience.

"Learning a lot every class!👍👍

I’ve been playing pickleball for 6+ years with a strong tennis background, and what started as a fun hobby quickly became something I really care about. I play at a high level and love helping others to play stronger, move better, feel more confidant, and actually enjoy the game on a deeper level. To me, improving in pickleball is more than just skill, it’s freedom. The freedom to move, compete, express yourself, and have a whole lot of fun. My only goal is to help you get it

"Second lesson with Alex Lee and the progress is real. This time he focused on creating a relaxing foundation for how to hit powerful shots using my whole body. Instead of muscling the ball, he showed me how to let my hips, legs, arms and toes work together to generate power. He gave me clear cues that clicked right away. I could apply them in the next rally and actually receive praise from him on the spot, which helped me lock in the feeling. The greatest thing about this lesson was the shift from being a tense player chasing after every ball to being a relaxed player staying on my toes, moving toward the ball early and hitting a powerful shot that looks effortless. He would identify and mark the shots that looked effortless and have me pause to feel what my whole body was doing on good contact. Now I know exactly what that connected feeling is supposed to feel like. On top of that, the lesson showed me what flow state looks like when I am relaxed. Everything makes sense, you feel totally connected with your paddle and the ball, and the game just slows down.
