"These lessons are amazing! Even as a beginner/intermediate player, I felt challenged in all the right ways. The teaching is patient, clear, and hands-on, so you’re actually playing and improving every lesson. I’ve tried other teachers before, but these lessons are different—they focus on real songs, real skills, and making progress fun. I can see my technique, timing, and confidence improving week by week. Honestly, if you want lessons that actually stick and make you excited to pick up your instrument, this is the place to be.

Former soccer player now certified sports performance coach specializing in youth athletic development, speed, agility, strength, and conditioning. I’ve spent years helping athletes improve performance, build confidence, and develop discipline through structured, high-energy training. My goal is to create a competitive and supportive environment that pushes athletes to reach their full potential.

Transitioning from a lifelong tennis journey, I've spent the last two years deeply immersed in the world of pickleball, and now, as a 4.5 player, coaching is my primary passion. My own start in pickleball came from lessons with a skilled local instructor, and I've since played in various tournaments. This hands-on experience shaped my down-to-earth coaching methodology. When you train with me, we'll begin at the foundation, just as I did: starting short, with underhand strokes, and progressively moving back. I'll guide you through essential serves, introducing you to specific serve techniques. Each session will kick off by understanding and evaluating your existing skills, after which we'll journey deeper into technical expertise. My goal is to craft lessons tailored to your needs and ensure that, through my coaching, your love and proficiency in pickleball grows exponentially.

I grew up playing soccer and still train daily, so I bring a player’s mindset into every session. I’m also a certified strength and conditioning coach, which allows me to teach proper movement, balance, speed, and power—not just footwork. Whether the player needs help with first touch, dribbling, shooting, or overall fitness, I build sessions around their exact goals. I keep coaching positive and honest, and I want every athlete I work with to leave feeling stronger, more confident, and excited to come back.

I was professionally trained in soccer for 5 years and bring high-level skills, discipline, and game intelligence to every session. I focus on strong fundamentals, smart decision-making, conditioning, and building confidence. My goal is to help players improve quickly while developing a winning mindset and love for the game. ⚽
