About Mike

Driven by my passion for pickleball and tennis and fueled by the thrill of competition, I bring four years of experience to the court, having clinched victory in numerous tournaments. My coaching blends strategic insights with a fun, supportive approach, empowering players of all levels to elevate their game and unleash their full potential. I currently teach or coach 9 pickle ball and tennis clients all over Sacramento. Let’s have some fun and enjoy this wonderful game!

What students say...

"The lesson was quite helpful, especially learning new techniques that I hadn’t focused on before, though I think there’s still room to refine some aspects. Mike’s teaching style felt practical and easy to follow, which made it easier to grasp the concepts. Still, I’m hopeful that with continued focus on these techniques, I’ll gradually see more improvement. If you’re interested in building a solid foundation, I’d suggest giving Mike a try.

Advanced players typically want help with specific tactics, shots or strokes. As a result, we will most likely spend our lesson focused on a single stroke or skill, reviewing footage, making corrections where applicable and discussing how specific footwork limits available shots and decision making. For advanced first lessons, we would want to heavily rely on video feedback, using both in-game scenarios and practice sessions.

When I work with youth, I place a special emphasis on technique. At an age where kids are able to develop rapidly, teaching good technique and pickleball etiquette is essential. We will study shot selection, technique, and execution, all through fun gameplay that keeps the child or teenager entertained.
