"Raman is a great tennis coach who explains techniques clearly and makes every session enjoyable. I’ve already seen noticeable improvement in my game. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game.

With two decades on the field as a player, a referee, and a coach, I cultivate confidence, self-awareness, and joy through soccer in players of all levels. This is a time to change things up and find out where your strengths shine and where they hold you back from challenging yourself. Progress over perfection, embracing failure to reach understanding, and introspection without judgement. This is a team sport and there are no weak links; only players that want to succeed, players that want to grow, and players that are content with their skill staying where it is.

I'm a passionate pickleball player and coach with a 4.0 skill level and over four years of experience playing locally. My love for racket sports started with tennis, where I found success in high school, winning at the district level. This sparked my interest in pickleball, and now I'm excited to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with you! My coaching covers everything from the fundamentals to advanced skills and drills, including mastering those tricky shots like smashes, lobs, and volleys. We'll also focus on strategy and footwork, so you can dominate the court. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your game, I'm dedicated to providing engaging and effective instruction to help you achieve your pickleball goals.

"As a complete beginner with no sports background, I had a great experience learning pickleball with Coach Jawad. He is friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and supportive. He quickly identifies my technical issues and helps correct them before they become my habits. For example, he helped me improve my elbow and wrist positioning during my swing. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I learned a lot in a short time. The lessons were clear, helpful, and fun, and they made me enjoy pickleball. I truly appreciate his teaching and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their pickleball skills.

In just over two years, my journey in pickleball has been nothing short of exhilarating. Starting out as a pickleball instructor at CNP, I quickly transitioned to private coaching, guiding players of all levels from complete beginners to advanced 4.5 and even a few 5.0 athletes. Competing in numerous tournaments, I've recently achieved success with a 5.5 DUPR rating and medaling in 5.0 events and advancing through teams in pro qualifiers, setting my sights on reaching the main draw soon. This sport continues to fuel my passion for competition and coaching alike, pushing me to new heights with each game.

"The lesson with Alexander provided valuable feedback that really helped me understand some of my weak spots. Though I still need to make progress on certain techniques, I'm hopeful that with more practice and additional lessons, I'll improve further. I'm still gaining confidence, and it’s encouraging to see that there’s more to work on. Still, I’d say it's a good step forward, and I might consider trying another lesson with him to keep refining my skills.
