Rajiv B.
Sushil is an extraordinarily talented and coordinated Pickleball coach and player who truly embodies the spirit and skill of the sport. Over the last 8 months, I have seen him  SLAY countless opponents in various matches and can confidently say that his performance is nothing short of exceptional. He brings MAD-HAND-EYE coordination skills from other sports like Badminton and Cricket and dominates whether it's a swift volley, a strategic lob, or a powerful smash with accuracy and finesse.  Sushil has a comprehensive mastery of all shots in Pickleball. He has especially perfected the art of the cross-court dink shot and ruthless speed-ups demonstrating incredible control and patience.
Cindy Norman
Sushil is a rare, true game-changer as a coach. His international multi-sport background gives him an incredible eye for detail and the ability to quickly spot and fix even the smallest mechanical flaws.     •    Every session delivers real results. You don’t just practice. You level up.     •    Fun, inspiring, and exciting to watch. His athleticism and creativity naturally draw a crowd and reflect his next level understanding of the game.     •    Exceptionally generous coach and person. He invests genuine time, knowledge, and encouragement into every player.  I feel incredibly lucky to have trained with him and cannot recommend him highly enough. A+++
Patty R.
What sets my pickleball coach apart is his rare combination of elite athletic experience and analytical thinking. As a former badminton champion and an engineer, he understands how physics strategy and mechanics intersect on the court - and he explains it in a way that makes immediate sense. He quickly identifies what's happening in your stroke, clearly explains why it's happening, and shows you exactly how to fix it. He adapts his teaching to the individual player, which makes his coaching incredibly effective. I've gained both confidence and a deeper understanding of the game because of him.
John M
Sushil's knowledge of the game, courtship, and understanding of strategy and positioning is exceptional. His shot selection and the wide range of shots he has available in his arsenal are impressive. His patience in playing with people of lesser caliber is amazing. He is always willing to teach, give advice, and help those who are not nearly as good. He is a fierce competitor in all the right ways. He is a pleasure to play with. He always keeps me on my toes and it’s always an extreme accomplishment anytime I’m able to win a game against you.

With a deep understanding of the game, a patient teaching style, and a passion for helping players succeed,  the tall indian guy is the perfect coach for players of all levels. In addition to his expertise in pickleball, he also teaches valuable stretching exercises to enhance flexibility and prevent injuries, ensuring a well-rounded approach to training.
