Hey everyone, I’m Jon! I’m a 5.0 level player and professional coach that has 3+ years of teaching experience at The Hub Alameda and locally. I’m looking to bring my expertise to help local players improve their game! As someone who worked their way up to 5.0 from the intermediate level, I am intimately familiar with all the pitfalls along the way from beginner to advanced levels and what it takes to grind to that level. My teaching philosophy has always been rooted in approaching the game as simply as possible. I emphasize simple, repeatable shot mechanics. And equally important, I take the time to explain how shot selection and strategy impact your progress just as much as shot execution! I’m 100% confident that in just a single, one hour session we can make noticeable improvement in either shot quality or a shift in strategic thinking. You can always expect each session to be tailored to your specific needs. Pacing will always be adjusted to your progress. At the end of each session I’ll send you notes for the key points we covered as well as actionable feedback. Looking forward to working together to help you improve your game to the next level! Happy to answer any questions.

Jon is a great Pickleball coach! He takes the time to explain why we are learning certain skills and strategies so that you can understand better. Jon does a thorough evaluation of your level early on so that he can put together individual lesson plans and a overall big picture program. He sees when you get something quickly and moves on and also when you don't and stays with that until you do with great patience and encouragement. I love his texted "recap" of each lesson so I can use it as a reminder to work on what we learned in rec games until our next lesson. If you want to get better at Pickleball, go see Jon!

Jon is a true gem! I started attending the Hub's pickleball beginner socials about a year ago and Jon was our fearless leader. He is always so patient and kind when instructing us not only on the rules of the game but also giving us tips and tricks to improve it as we gained skills and knowledge. He would sometimes play against us to improve our skills. A group of us took a few private lessons from him and I can say that my serve was transformed after just one session! Fun to work with, full of knowledge about the game and a great coach!

“Jon was my first pickleball coach for a good part of one year. My simple goal was to strive to improve my shot skills to unlock my potential through self-awareness. Jon truly enhanced my development as a pickleball player by focusing on the fundamentals. Jon organized coaching lessons focused on repetitive drills, drills and more drills – starting with dinks, drops, resets, punch volleys, flick volleys, speed ups, deep serves, footwork, positioning, placement and court awareness. Jon’s clear explanations and demonstrations was key to learning. Jon kept me motivated, inspired and encouraged. Jon quickly adapted to my learning style with good and calm talk that effectively helped me during drills to reinforce correct form & habit. Jon observed early on that I was reaching & hitting off-balanced more than I should; afterwards I became more conscious & deliberate about moving my feet to avoid stretching. I learned about my habits that influenced the changes that made me more confident. My sessions with Jon became an enjoyable journey of self-discovery which exceeded my goal.”
