"Today’s lesson with Jamie was quite helpful, especially focusing on solving problems with my backhand.

My coaching style is a combination of encouraging, fun, while also trying to get the best out of my students. Before pickleball I was a 2-sport collegiate athlete, and have coached numerous athletes. Furthermore, as a competitive player myself, I am constantly studying, learning, and seeking to improve as a player and a coach. I am continuously learning, and stay up to date with the latest strategies, techniques, and developments in the game. Pickleball is constantly evolving, and is about situational awareness and adaptability. I aim to help my students apply these concepts as well.
