Hi, my name is iLona. I consider myself half Ukrainian and half American, as I literally lived half of the lives in both countries, not to mention all the travels in between. Back in 2009, at 17 years old I came on one way ticket to USA on full right scholarship. I played division 1 schools, first 2 years at McNeese State, and last 2 years at University of North Texas where we won Sun Belt Conference Championship 2 years back to back.

For over three decades, I've immersed myself in the worlds of Badminton and Ping Pong, blending these passions into the dynamic sport of Pickleball. My dedication and skill recently earned me a thrilling first-place victory at the City of Irving Rec Center doubles tournament. As both a player and coach, I thrive in indoor settings, preferring the controlled environment over outdoor courts, where I occasionally step onto the court to test my abilities.

I just love pickleball and all the things that come with it. I have organized lots of drills and open plays within my pickleball group too.
"I was completely new to pickleball and took lessons with Anish and he has helped me not only understand the game but also gotten me to a level when I can play open plays without felling out of place at the 3.0-3.5 level. He has helped a lot with my footwork, drops and returns. I would highly recommend him if you are wanting to get to the 4.0 level.

"My lesson with Jose was quite good, though I’d say it’s more of a steady improvement rather than dramatic change. The highlight for me was how he focused on refining my backhand technique, which was pretty helpful. I still think I need to work on consistency, but I’m hopeful about getting there with his guidance. Still, it’s encouraging to have someone who really pays attention to your specific needs. If you’re into tennis and want a coach who’s thoughtful but not overly intense, trying Jose might be worth considering.
