"Excellent coach. Viet is knowledgeable, patient and encouraging.
Brian brings a rare combination of rapid progression, high-level competitive experience, and analytical depth to his coaching. In just eight months, he climbed from a 2.7 to a 4.599 DUPR competing regularly with 4.5+ level players. That kind of trajectory isnβt accidental. It reflects deliberate practice, smart drilling, and a deep understanding of patterns, probabilities, and pressure moments. Brian doesnβt just teach shotsβhe teaches advantage. He thinks in terms of exchange ratios, positioning leverage, and when a speed-up truly earns you a 51β49 edge instead of opening you up to a counter. His fast hands and aggressive instincts are backed by thoughtful decision-making, helping players build controlled offense rather than reckless pace. What separates Brian is how clearly he sees the game. He understands rating systems, regional play styles, and how skill translates across levels. Heβs studied what actually moves DUPR, what causes plateaus, and how to break through themβbecause heβs lived it. Whether youβre a 3.0 trying to stabilize your third shot, a 4.0 stuck at a ceiling, or a tournament player refining hands battles, Brian coaches with structure, intentionality, and measurable progress in mind. If you want to level up intelligentlyβnot just hit harder, but win smarterβheβll help you build a game that holds up under pressure. ^ yes, written by ai. real people donβt use that many em dashes.

"Brian's lesson was amazing and I really enjoyed the 1 h lesson with my son. Brian has rich knowledge and improved our skills of pickleball. While he taught us, he was watching our body movements and paddle face and he corrected the right places. That helps us to improve and he knows the pickleball game strategy, next time we offer him to have a lesson to improve our game.

Whether you have never picked up a paddle before, you are just getting started, or you are looking to sharpen your game - I would love to help you on your Pickleball journey. No experience needed, no pressure, just fun :) My goal is simple: make Pickleball accessible so everyone gets a chance to try this amazing sport. I am a PPR Certified coach with a 4.0+ DUPR rating. My lessons and clinics help players build confidence and progress from beginner to intermediate and advanced levels.
