Private Lessons & Coaches in Lake Forest Park, WA

In August of 2021, Leonard embarked on a quest to elevate his pickleball skills, actively seeking a place to learn and play. It was during this journey that he crossed paths with Damon, a gentleman who extended an invitation to a community center predominantly frequented by players aged 50 and above. Initially feeling out of place, Leonard was warmly embraced by the community and taught the game that now ignites his passion. Today, almost two years later, Leonard aspires to give back by sharing his knowledge, eager to teach newcomers and enable them to experience the joy of one of the world's fastest-growing sports.

"Kene managed to squeeze in multiple topics to a 1 hour session, quickly provided actionable feedback, and listened to my areas to my interest.

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.

"My training session with Coach Mendo (Wayne) was excellent. The session was well organized-- he was able to quickly assess my current abilities and areas for growth, and then ran me through a number skill building excercises. By the end of the first session I could tell that my dribbling skills were much improved and he gave me specific advice on how to improve my shot. His coaching style is positive and direct and I look forward to our future training sessions.
