About Scottsdale Pickleball Coach Brian

Hello my name is Brian and I am a local Scottsdale pickleball coach with over 3 years of playing experience and over 2 years of teaching experience! As a passionate & experienced PPR Certified Pickleball Professional, I have had the privilege of coaching several hundred players over the past two years, from first-timers as young as 8 to active adults in their late 80s. My mission is to help every pickleball student thrive on the court by developing very strong technical skills, game strategy, effective teamwork and incredible mental resilience.

With certifications as a personal trainer, registered dietitian and also a registered nurse, I bring a unique, holistic approach to training. My pickleball lessons are fully customized to meet each client’s goals, whether that’s mastering a consistent dink, sharpening reaction time or building power and stamina for competitive play. I like to integrate principles of fitness-including agility, flexibility, strength & endurance to help players reach their peak potential safely and also efficiently.

Beyond pickleball, I’ve trained athletes across a spectrum of sports and all ages from elementary school runners to national champion ultimate frisbee players, ironman triathletes, ultra-marathoners and spartan race competitors. As a dietitian, I also provide performance-focused nutrition coaching, helping players fuel effectively for great energy, focus, and optimal recovery. So whether you’re picking up a paddle for the first time or preparing for your next tournament, I’d love to help you elevate your game and to also enjoy the journey!

I teach pickleball lessons in the Scottsdale area but will travel up to 10 miles to a pickleball court that is located conveniently near you.

Brian is an exceptional pickleball instructor-attentive, conscientious, and fully focused on helping players refine their technique and ball placement. What sets Brian apart is not only his skill, but his genuine care for each player’s progress. Like any truly great trainer, he is progress-oriented and deeply invested in each individual’s development and understanding of the game.

All of this is done in a fun, energetic atmosphere where laughter and learning go hand in hand. He celebrates our successes-big or small and makes sure we enjoy the journey, not just the results. His talent shines even more in smaller group sessions or one-on-one training, where his focus becomes laser-sharp.
