Private Lessons & Coaches in Pittsburgh, PA

I am a PPR certified Coach specializing in players at the 2.5 to 4.0 skill level. I am looking forward to offering lessons here to help players advance to the next level. With 35 years of coaching experience in Division 1 basketball and 4 years experience coaching racquetball and tennis, I bring a deep understanding of sports strategy, mental toughness, and skill development to the pickleball court. After discovering pickleball five years ago, I quickly became passionate about the sport and now combine my knowledge of coaching with my love for helping others improve their skills so they can develop as a player and enjoy the game at the highest level desired. I am an avid pickleball player with a passion for competition. I have competed successfully in recent tournaments, winning gold in both men’s doubles, 50-59 age bracket (4.0+ division) and singles, 55-59 division (4.0) at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Tournament in Pennsylvania. I also earned silver in the men’s doubles, 55+ (4.0+) in the Hall Of Fame Club Tournament in Ohio.

"Terry is a professional coach. Very positive in instruction. Keeps the lesson engaging

I've been deeply involved in the Pittsburgh golf community, having been a member of several prestigious country clubs and achieving multiple awards and tournament victories. As a three-time club champion at different clubs and a former coach at Oakland Catholic High School, I've had the privilege of teaching and mentoring golfers over the years. For the past five years, I've offered personalized lessons at Cool Springs, Practice Tee, and Vietmeier's Golf Centre, utilizing these sites to enhance players' skills and enjoyment of the game.

"Another great lesson very helpful and he explains everything fantastically!

I've been playing golf for nearly 20 years, and truly believe it is a sport that should be played by as many people as possible. I specialize in bringing a fun, relaxed, and easy to understand style for people new to the game or wanting to learn more. I have coached both men and women, most recently being a high school golf coach in South Carolina working with many first time golfers. My affordable rates help make sure anyone can learn without being scared away by the price of individual lessons. For brand new / beginner golfers - my goal is to get you comfortable with not only your swing, but with understanding golf etiquette, rules, and good habits. For intermediate players who are already experienced, but are looking to improve their swing, short game, and overall score- I have a lot of experience with helping identify which parts of players' games can provide the biggest improvements and will prepare a plan to focus on those areas. For advanced/elite players looking to lower their scores even farther, I am probably not the man for the job. I recommend seeking lessons from a PGA Certified golf instructor in this situation.

"I took two lessons from two different instructors prior to finding Jeff. I am on my third month with him now, which says it all. He’s terrific.

With eight years dedicated to nurturing tennis talent, I refine technique and strategy for players of all levels. As an experienced player myself, I bring a unique perspective and passion to every lesson, fostering growth on and off the court.

"What stood out most was how Bosit managed to engage my son, even though he isn’t really interested in tennis. The lesson was enjoyable and laid-back, making it easier for him to stay involved. If you’re looking for a patient and encouraging coach, Bosit’s lessons are definitely worth trying out. A great way to get kids interested in the game!
