Hello, my name is Austin Steel. I am a 3.0-3.5 rated pickleball player and pickleball event organizer. I have been playing pickleball for a little over a year and a half now and I have years of experience with tutoring, so I can ensure that each student understands the way of the game and gets their own personalized lesson for effective learning. I thoroughly enjoy playing pickleball whether it be with my friends, strangers, or in tournaments and I want to spread the thrill of playing pickleball with everyone.

"Wow, this lesson really highlighted how paying attention to court positioning can improve overall performance. Still, I think a bit more focus on shot variety might help me break through my plateau. Austin’s teaching approach is quite laid-back and practical, making the learning process feel natural. If you’re looking to refine specific pickleball skills, wanna give his lesson a shot?
