Private Lessons & Coaches in Newark, DE

Hi, My names is Derek. I’ve been a basketball player my entire life. I’ve played basketball since the age of 7. I have a unique story that brought me to player development.

As a former captain of the college golf team at Princeton University, my passion for the sport has taken me on a remarkable journey. I've competed on mini-tour circuits across Florida and various parts of the country, honing my skills and gaining invaluable experience. Along the way, I've achieved notable victories, including winning the Delaware State Amateur and Open championships. In the 1990s, I taught inner-city youth golf through an LPGA program, fostering a love for the game in a new generation of players. Today, I continue to share my expertise as a coach for high school golf, guiding young athletes toward their full potential on the course.

Igniting a love for the game is my mission. While relatively new to teaching, my deep understanding of pickleball strategy and technique allows me to effectively guide players of all levels. I'm dedicated to fostering a fun, supportive learning environment where you can reach your full potential.

I competed as a sprinter for the University of Pennsylvania Men’s Track & Field team, where I developed a strong foundation in sprint mechanics, race strategy, and high-performance training. Following my collegiate career, I transitioned into coaching and have worked with athletes at both the high school and middle school levels. I coached at University City High School in Philadelphia and currently coach at Cantwell Middle School in Middletown, DE. In addition, I spent three years as an ACE-certified personal trainer at Philadelphia Sports Club, where I gained experience in strength, conditioning, and injury prevention—skills I incorporate into my coaching to help athletes improve performance safely and effectively. My coaching focuses on developing proper technique, building speed and confidence, and helping athletes understand how to train and compete effectively.
