"Knowing and learning under max has been a great learning experience. Going from JV soccer team, to now being in Varsity soccer and MLS NEXT Team, it would not have been possible without max's help. He was able to connect me with different opportunities which is helping me continue my career into the collegiate level.

I started playing tennis with a racket that was at least 20 years old. Raised by a single mother who couldn’t afford to send me to an academy or pay for private lessons, I grew up training in group sessions. Despite the challenges, I fell in love with tennis and dedicated myself to the sport. Six years later, I became the No. 1 player in Turkmenistan for the 18-and-under category. As a member of the national team, I traveled across Asia, competing in tournaments and representing my country. Tennis has truly been a life-changing sport for me. It not only shaped my physical strength but also improved my mental resilience. It’s a sport that teaches discipline, focus, and persistent —qualities that last a lifetime. Now, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned with you and help you unlock your full potential on the court. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to take your game to the next level, I can guide you every step of the way.

"Good teaching skills
Ardian
My journey in racket sports began at 9, swiftly ascending the ranks as a junior to qualify for the prestigious New York State High School Championship. Transitioning to collegiate singles and later leagues in Chicago, I found my passion reignited when I stumbled upon Pickleball, relishing its social camaraderie and forging new friendships. Now, as an avid player and coach, I delight in sharing my expertise, ensuring every lesson is not just about improvement but about relishing the court's thrill. Let's ace your goals together, one match at a time! For fellow Tennis players, I played tennis for 40 years, and was a tournament player and teaching pro for tennis during college. A lot of tennis players move over to pickle and that makes sense, but there are some key differences in the games, both with the way you swing and in strategy, things you should know and can learn pretty quickly on court. I'm here to help.
