Five years ago, during the pandemic, I began playing pickleball regularly, quickly falling in love with the sport. Over the past two years, I've immersed myself in the game, playing, drilling, and competing in tournaments up to four times per week. While unofficially coaching beginners during this time, my passion for pickleball has grown immensely, driving me to train towards becoming a senior pickleball professional. Currently rated around 4.1 on the DUPR rating scale, I actively participate in advanced tournaments, aiming to elevate my skills further on the path to achieving my professional goals. As a medical doctor, I see pickleball as embodying the values of health, happiness, and community, and I'm eager to share these aspects of the game with others.
"Very positive and encouraging teaching new skills or concepts.

I discovered my passion for tennis at the age of 10 and it quickly became my life's joy. Representing the Ukrainian school team was a dream come true. Tennis is not just a sport to me; it permeates every part of my life. My daughter follows in my footsteps as a tennis player, while my husband coaches the sport we all adore. For the past five years, I've been teaching tennis to children as young as three at my husband's tennis school, relishing in the progress and joy of every novice player, both young and old.
"Alright, my recent lesson with Liubov was quite helpful, especially since she pointed out specific details about my stroke that I hadn’t really paid attention to before. Though I still need to work on landing the ball more consistently, I felt like I made some steady progress. Still, I’m optimistic she’ll help me improve further over time. It’s clear she knows her stuff and guides with a calm, measured approach. If you're looking to get more precise with your game, I’d say you should give Liubov a try.

"Great lesson! Tobi was very kind and patient with his instructions. I really want to work on making my swing feel more natural and loose, especially keeping my elbow above my chin without tensing up.

I began playing golf after working at a summer camp in the late 90’s. I signed up to coach basketball, but the Bulls were in the Finals again, so by the time I got to camp, the only sport left to coach was golf, and I had zero playing or coaching experience in that sport. I had been an athlete all my life and a coach for almost a decade by that point, so I figured, “How hard can it be?” I found out quickly it was very hard, but also challenging in a way that kept me completely compelled to learn. I spent that summer learning the game from 10 year olds. We would drive over to the local course in rural Pennsylvania nearest the camp in the late afternoon, the sun getting low as we’re out there laughing and having a blast, usually at my expense. I vividly remember my mind being blown at the concept of hitting down, to make the ball go up. Fascinating! I got hooked, came home after camp, jumped into any and everything golf; Tiger Woods, Dave Pelz, Rick Smith, David Ledbetter, Golf Channel, etc., etc. I got pretty good quickly, played all over the place, signed up to attend a golf instructor school in 2002 and the rest is history. I’ve given thousands of lessons coast to coast, including Maui, Scottsdale, NYC, San Diego and even Tijuana. I have a deep knowledge of the game and swing mechanics, combined with a sincere passion to help anyone of any ability learn the game I have come to love so much. I’m looking forward to working with you soon! Thank you!
"Very knowledgeable and patient. Can’t wait for the next lesson!

I bring a championship mindset and years of on-court experience to every athlete I train. As a former collegiate standout and professional player, I was a 2x PCAC Player of the Year, 2x All-State performer, and helped lead Southwestern College to a state-best 50–6 record before earning a scholarship to Cal Baptist. There, I helped capture a PacWest Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. After competing professionally in Colombia and earning my Master’s in Physical Education from Azusa Pacific, I began my coaching career at Southwestern College. During my time there, I helped lead the program to three PCAC Championships, was named PCAC Coach of the Year in 2020, and coached 40 All-Conference players, with over 30 earning scholarships to four-year universities—including multiple Division I and professional athletes. Now, I use that same drive and attention to detail to help players and clients elevate their game, build confidence, and unlock their full potential—both physically and mentally.
