Hi, I'm Coach Henry. Before diving into my background, I want to share my passion for coaching. I am dedicated to helping players refine their game and discover their own love for the sport. As a 4.5 rated Pickleball player with more than a year under my belt, I've built upon my history as a former 5.0 tennis player.

Our lessons will thoroughly cover both the forehand and backhand techniques, always emphasizing the critical importance of a correct follow-through. Join me, and together we'll ensure you have the skills and confidence to compete with anyone on the court!

"I’d say Henry’s lesson was quite focused and helpful, especially with opportunities for improvement in mind. The emphasis on form and problem areas was pretty clear, and I feel more confident about sharpening those skills.

After four years, I worked my way up to management and became a master club fitter, training and fitting for golf clubs. My journey in golf has equipped me with a deep understanding of the game, and I’m passionate about helping others improve their skills and enjoy this wonderful sport.
