With over 25 years of experience in the game, golf has been a lifelong passion that has taken me from junior competitions to D1 collegiate golf and beyond. I played for Oregon State University and did not miss a tournament. Additionally, I have competed at the U.S. Girls Junior Amateurs twice (‘08, ‘09) and the U.S. Women's Amateurs twice (‘12, ‘14). My PR is 64 back in high school. After college, I competed professionally on the Cactus Tour in Arizona, where I secured a tournament win at -11. While in Arizona, I also found joy in teaching, working with kids ages 6 to 12 at the TopGolf Summer Academy, helping them develop strong fundamentals and a love for the game.

On the court, I'm all about pushing boundaries and building confidence. With 32 years of experience, I've honed a coaching style that blends technical expertise with a passion for fostering a love for the game. Let's unlock your potential together – one basket at a time. I have been playing basketball since the age of 10. My brother was on the high school team and I have trained with him growing up almost everyday. I played on my college intramural team and have taken lessons from professionals that played in college. I regularly play in basketball leagues that even have players over 6’8” tall. I am well versed in young children as I have taught young students English from three years up. (I have my own kids these ages) I am bilingual Mandarin and can explain concepts well in both languages. I am patient, kind, and enjoy seeing others achieve their goals. I look forward to teaching any students be well rounded individuals not just in sports, but in life.

"Coach Bodie is very positive and works to help you improve your tennis game. Coach Bodie knows each player and what their strength and what areas of your game need improvement. He spends time during your lesson working on both so you become a better player. Coach Bodie taught my child how to volley and place the ball better on the court. It made a huge difference with his game. I would recommend Coach Bodie to anyone. He is such a positive coach and has a great background to help any player improve their tennis game and meet their individual needs. He cares and wants his players to feel successful on the tennis court. His positive coaching style will be helpful to anyone who takes lessons from him.
