"I was in college when I met Amari. We would always hoop together. She would come after my practice and rebound for me, knock me around with a pad, and make up some crazy shooting drill she wanted to try. Her energy was unmatched. She had her own season to worry about but she was always willing to help me. I’ll never forget her for that.

Hi! My name is Benjamin and I have been playing pickleball for over 10 years now. With that, I’ve seen exactly how much the game has changed over the last decade and grown alongside it. Now I’m a freshman at UT Austin studying mechanical engineering and playing on the competitive travel team. I’m young, energetic, and honestly just grateful for the chance to share all the knowledge I’ve picked up along the way. I love playing and helping people actually advance to the next level, let’s do this.
"Working with Benjamin has been a game-changer for my overall court awareness. We focused heavily on the transition zone and hitting quality thirds to get to the net safely. He’s incredibly observant and catches the small habit flaws that most people miss. If you want to play a smarter, more strategic version of pickleball, I definitely suggest booking a session with him
