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. I decided to switch to PB for a change of pace and soon made my mark by winning multiple tournaments at the 3.5 level. 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. Though I still need to work on a few specifics, it’s encouraging to see steady progress. Still, I might try a couple more lessons to really hone in on those details.

"Kamal's lesson really helped me understand some key techniques, especially focusing on proper ball control. It’s pretty clear he knows his stuff and puts effort into making sure each player gets useful feedback, though I’d say I still need more practice on consistency. Still, I feel like I made decent progress and I’d be curious to see how my skills develop after another lesson. If you’re into improving your soccer skills, trying Kamal’s lesson could be worthwhile.

I was an all-state high school golfer working carts at La Cantera. I then went to college, where I played golf and graduated with honors in sports management. After college, I got hired as an assistant golf pro, giving lessons and playing on the mini-tour simultaneously. I later relocated to my hometown of San Antonio to work at Golf Galaxy. 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.
