I am a dedicated Coach with a passion for developing players of all skill levels. I will focus on fundamentals such as serving, shot selection, footwork, and court positioning, while emphasizing strategy, sportsmanship, and game awareness. I am committed to creating a positive, engaging environment that helps athletes improve and enjoy the game.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE PICKLEBALL COACH I know what it takes to compete — and I coach from that experience, not just from a certification manual. I CAN DIAGNOSE FAST Most coaches give generic feedback. I identify what's actually wrong — quickly — and we make real progress in a single session. No wasted time, no vague cues. I UNDERSTAND men…er…WOMEN…er, people! That’s it, people. The dynamics, the mental pressures, the physical realities of being a (man, a woman, or a muppet) on court. I bring empathy and edge in equal measure. No mansplaining. Ever. EQ, off the charts, (HOW)ever! I COACH THE WHOLE PLAYER Technical, tactical, mental. I know when to push and when to have patience. I'll enhance your strengths, work on your weaknesses, and tailor everything to who you are as a player. EVERY PLAYER HAS A GOAL WORTH CHASING. My students range from 3.0 players discovering the sport to 4.5+ competitors chasing a rating or a tournament result. Mostly women — but not exclusively. What everyone shares is a goal, even if they haven't fully defined it yet. Sometimes the goal is simple: beat Suzy at league night. Sometimes it's bigger: find your inner athlete, feel confident on court, connect to something that's genuinely yours. Often the goal evolves — students come in wanting one thing and discover something they didn't know they were looking for. I'll meet you where you are and hold the highest vision for where you can go — while understanding that progress isn't always linear and some days are just harder than others.
"If you’re looking for a coach who is both easy to get along with and highly skilled, Chris is the one. He brings a contagious energy to the court, and it’s clear he clearly loves the game. I really appreciate how he adapts his teaching style, to my needs, using fun drills that keep me motivated while noticeably improving my game. It is a huge plus that he’s such a strong player himself; his demonstrations are always spot on!

I love sports, and my goal is to make pickleball simple, logical, and fun for everyone! My background is a little different than most coaches. I have an engineering background and have spent years as a sports analyst, but I am also a lifelong recreational athlete myself. I know exactly what it feels like to pick up a new sport, work though the awkward phases, and play just for the pure love of the game. Because of my multi-sport coaching and sports media background, I am really good at breaking down movements into simple, easy-to-learn steps. I don’t use confusing sports jargon-I focus on clear, friendly communication so you can see progress in your very first lesson. Beginners & Seniors: Want a gentle, zero-stress introduction? We will focus on fun, steady balance, and learning the rules at your own comfortable pace. Kids & Teens: With my coaching background, I keep lessons high-energy, active, and filled with engaging games. Intermediate Players: Want to win more weekend games? I’ll show you the smart court positioning and tricks to outsmart your opponents. No matter your age or skill level, my court is a welcoming place. Let’s get out there and play!
