Private Lessons & Coaches in South Boston, MA

With over 13 years of tennis experience, background in exercise science, and physical therapy, I bring a deep understanding of racquet sports, footwork, strategy, and court awareness to the fast growing game of pickleball.

I specialize in helping beginners and intermediate players build strong fundamentals and advance their game with clear, practical coaching. Whether you’re just picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to sharpen your consistency, I focus on making the game fun, approachable, and rewarding, while giving you tools to play with confidence. If you’re ready to improve your pickleball skills with guidance rooted in years of racquet sport experience, I’d love to help you level up your game!

I've played for most of my life. It's very fun and one of the best ways for me to enjoy life. Still playing now whenever I get the chance and I'm always looking to improve. This approach I like to extend to anyone I'm instructing. To help foster a love for the game, a good team work mindset, a desire to keep improving, and self belief and discipline. Coaching wise I've coached 6-8th grade boys for a season. Which was one of the best times I've had as of recent. Shout-out raptors.

Currently, I am the Chief Operator of Grit Athletics Performance Strength and Co-Operator of SAYA (student athlete youth academy), both based in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts. I am also the Defensive Coordinator at Lawrence HS (Lawrence, MA). I train mainly in Methuen and am also able to come to You! My goal is to help You, as an athlete or your team fill in the "g.a.p.s." in your (their) game. It is my belief that most football players can elevate their game with a shift to more skill work, pertinent to their position(s), and going through the process of becoming a true student of the game; players tend to execute "faster" and more consistently when they understand the details of the game, while also mastering the basics and fundamentals. My football coaching and training experience has spanned the NFL, semi-pro, college, high school, and middle school levels. In the professional arena, I have been a strength and conditioning coach for the Washington Redskins. I have been a strength, speed, and conditioning coach at Georgetown University; my teams have included Football, Men’s Lacrosse, Baseball, Women’s Soccer, Softball, Crew, Men’s and Women’s Track, Swimming and Diving, and Men’s Soccer. At the high school level, I have assumed roles as a Head Football Coach, Offensive Coordinator, Defensive Coordinator, Special Teams Coordinator, and a positional coach (Quarterbacks, Running Backs, Wide Receivers, Defensive Backs, and Linebackers); off the gridiron, I have been a physical education teacher, strength and conditioning coach and student adviser. I also have trained and coached at the middle school level: football, basketball, and physical education. I am certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Performance Enhancement Specialist and the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Typical age groups include collegiate, high school, and middle school athletes. What makes me different? I have a effective and proven process to meet athletes where they are at and execute a game plan to elevate their ability, while building their growth, character, and football IQ! My role is to serve each athlete and assist their respective journeys. Thank You!
