I have a passion for helping players improve on and off court; Pickleball can also teach us great life lessons! I want to empower other women, and am dedicated to bringing a learning mindset towards your goals. I recently won a local tournament in San Diego and my mission is to make this incredible sport accessible to everyone, whether you want to pay recreationally or are ready to try a tournament. Whether you're a casual player or an aspiring competitor, I can help you elevate your game. We can cover the basics as you develop a love of the game or we can do drills and incorporate some game play analysis. Let me know and I'll tailor it around your needs. Thanks for considering me as a coach!
" Ann is a competitive player and a good teacher. She brought my wife and her friends into the game and now we all love playing this sport a few times a week. It's become an addiction and we can't get enough of it. Ann makes it fun to practice and refine shots too. She will tailor lessons to your skill level and interests if you know what you want to work on.

"To Whom It May Concern, I’m writing this to express my full gratitude and admiration for Tim Herman, who served as my personal trainer. At the beginning of this year, I was in a very difficult place—drinking too much, heavier than I wanted to be, struggling with my skin, and mentally in a bad state. From day one, Tim gave me the tools I needed to save myself. He never gave up on me, even when I wasn’t doing everything I was supposed to. Tim is incredibly kind, patient, and knowledgeable. He helped me lose 30 pounds, improve my skin, regain self-confidence, and most importantly, start taking care of my mental and physical health. Tim is relocating to San Diego, and I can say without hesitation—if you are considering hiring him as a trainer, do it. His impact on my life is something I will always be grateful for. He’s not just a trainer—he’s a true coach, a fitness wizard, and an incredible human being. Sincerely, Rick Busby

I coach players of all ages, skill levels, and positions. My programming is tailored to each athlete's goals, whether that's learning the game from scratch, improving specific skills, or trying to compete at the next level. Along with developing a strong base of fundamentals, I enjoy teaching the mental side of baseball, which was imperative to my career and carries over off the field. My goal is to create a positive and challenging environment that facilitates improvement.

Randy
As a former varsity football player with a strong on-field presence, I had the opportunity to earn interest and offers from both Division II and Division III programs. My experience competing at a high level taught me the importance of discipline, teamwork, and perseverance—values I now bring to my work with young athletes. Since hanging up my cleats, I’ve transitioned into youth coaching, where I strive to develop not just skilled players but strong character in every athlete I mentor. I’ve worked with a range of age groups, focusing on fundamentals, game IQ, and instilling a deep respect for the game. My goal is to pass on the same passion and commitment that football gave me, helping the next generation grow both on and off the field.
"Amazing Coach!

Hello. My name is Jessica and although I recently obtained my California teaching credential for multi subject, I have several years of teaching experience. I really enjoy teaching grades K-5.

"Ethan really struggled with reading comprehension so we spent a lot of time practicing reading through short, engaging stories that focused on sound pronunciation and segment of letters. Using digraphs to help reinforce beginning sounds followed by worksheets helped Ethan become a stronger reader. I also pre read sentences and then had Ethan read along with me highlighting difficult words we could focus on later. Discussing difficult words ahead of time helped improve his reading and comprehension significantly.
