Oh and about the nickname "Danimal," it's a funny story really. About 4 weeks after I first started playing pickleball, I entered a tournament and had to register with the USAPA (USA Pickleball Association). On the registration form, they ask you for a nickname, which I entered "Danimal" thinking no one would ever see it. Sure enough, during my first tournament, when being called over the loudspeakers for my matches, the announcer yelled Danimal rather than my first or last name. I was embarrassed and couldn't believe it. However, while walking to the courts, everyone high-fived me and told me they loved the nickname. That weekend, I won a gold medal in Men's Singles, Mixed Doubles, and Men's Doubles completing a Triple Crown in my first tournament! 🥇🥇🥇 Lo and behold, the nickname has stuck and is now foreverGo to profile

“I’d say Henry’s lesson was quite focused and helpful, especially with opportunities for improvement in mind. The emphasis on form and problem areas was pretty clear, and I feel more confident about sharpening those skills. Though I still need to work on a few specifics, it’s encouraging to see steady progress. Still, I might try a couple more lessons to really hone in on those details.”Emanuel S., student

About LanceIf you’re ready to learn pickleball or take your beginner-intermediate (1.0-4.0) skills to the next level, you have a choice: (1) Work with someone who simply “picked up” the sport and may not know how to teach it effectively, or (2) Train with a former UT racket sports instructor and multi-medalist in USSP tournaments across Texas and Oklahoma.

“Bill is quite good at making the learning process feel approachable, and his patience really stood out during the lesson, especially since he explains things in a relatable way. Though I think more serve practice and additional info could make the lessons even better, I still left feeling more confident on the court. Still, if you're looking to improve your game with someone who's easy to work with, Bill's worth trying out.”Aundray E., student

“I took 4 lessons with Catherine as a total beginner, and I looked forward to every one. Her instructions are simple and to the point, so I always knew exactly what to work on and never felt overwhelmed. She also built the lessons around my background & my goal of competing in the first tournament, instead of running a one-size-fits-all lesson. It was also just fun! She keeps the energy up, makes practice feel like play, and is really encouraging. Her feedback was detailed, and she shared helpful tips well beyond what I'd signed up for. I left each lesson feeling more confident and clearer on what to practice next.”Emily, student · shared by Catherine
About CatherineI'm Catherine, coming from a tennis background, I am currently play and compete at the 5.0+ level, with recent results include Golden Ticket to National MiLP 15 (5.0+), 3rd in Womens Open, and several medals in local tournaments. I'm sponsored by Selkirk as part of their Emerging Pros and ranked in the top 18 in Vietnam.
My goal as a coach is to provide fun, clear, and personalized lessons, the focus should be on YOU, with a strong emphasis on building strong fundamentals early on.Go to profile
