About 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 am offering fun private pickleball lessons, semi-private pickleball lessons, group pickleball lessons and hitting only sessions for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your forehand, backhand, volley, serve, service return, overhead, drop shot (dink), approach shot, footwork, singles strategy or doubles strategy-I would be happy to help you with your game!
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.
Please contact me through my FindPickleballLessons.com coach page and then I will contact you back within 24 hours to introduce myself, answer any questions and if you are interested, we’ll set-up your first pickleball lesson or hitting session at a time and place that is convenient for you. I look forward to hearing from you and to the opportunity to be your Scottsdale pickleball coach out on the court!
