Private Lessons & Coaches in San Marcos, CA

For the past 3 1/2 years, I've been fully immersed in Pickleball, dedicating myself to the sport with unwavering passion and enthusiasm. Playing consistently 5 to 6 days a week, and sometimes squeezing in two sessions a day, Pickleball has evolved from a mere pastime into a lifestyle for me. Beyond the physical activity, the camaraderie, the new friendships forged, and the thrill of competition truly make it special. Pickleball isn't just a game; it's a mental challenge that keeps me engaged and constantly striving for improvement. The strategic thinking it demands adds an exciting dimension to each match, offering endless opportunities for growth and mastery. But what truly sets Pickleball apart is the sense of community it fosters. I've formed countless friendships through this sport and enjoy introducing others to its joys. As an advocate for Pickleball, I'm passionate about sharing its wonders with people of all ages. From young enthusiasts to seasoned seniors, Pickleball offers something for everyone. It's more than just a game; it's a lifelong journey of fun, fitness, and friendship, and I'm grateful to be a part of it.

Greetings, I’m a lifelong surfer with a passion for sharing the exhilarating world of surfing with others. With many years of teaching experience, my love for the ocean is as profound as my joy in introducing others to the thrill of surfing. In my lessons we start by unraveling the mysteries of ocean currents and wave patterns and practice some pop-ups on the beach. We then head into the water where I guide you in catching your first waves, while focusing on water safety and surf etiquette. Let’s embrace the surf together and help you ride your first waves with confidence!

In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.

My journey into the dynamic world of Pickleball started a short 2 years ago, and in that short span, I've achieved a player rating of 4.0 to 4.5.
