"The lesson was quite good, mainly because Amir broke down some basic strokes and helped me focus on controlling the ball better. Still, I think there's room to work on my positioning, but I’m hopeful that future lessons will build on this. If you're looking for a calm, straightforward approach, maybe consider giving Amir a try.

"Gabriel was an outstanding coach. He was extremely patient, very knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed during the lesson, and he made sure all of my questions were answered. What really stood out was his dedication—he even stayed beyond the scheduled one-hour session to continue helping me improve. His attention to detail and personalized instruction made the lesson both enjoyable and highly valuable. I know I will be continuing lessons with him because of the confidence and progress I gained in just one session. I would highly recommend Gabriel to anyone looking to improve their golf game.

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.

For over a decade, I have been playing basketball across the world, playing in countries such as Mexico, Spain, Italy, and many more. I am originally from Brazil, and this is where I began my basketball journey. I played D1 basketball in college for all four years and also worked with the youth during this time, coaching and mentoring them through various basketball summer camps. I have tons of necessary basketball experience with skill building, drills, conditioning, and game play at a near professional level, but also with character building and personal growth. I can also assist with workouts and personal training in order to build the required muscles and endurance needed to be the best player possible. Basketball is my true passion and I love coaching, so I cannot wait to get started!
