Meet Mikhail
If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve caught the bug — just like I did. Pickleball. It’s addictive, it’s fun, and it’s one of the best sports I’ve ever played. I fell in love with the game quickly, and it wasn’t long before I found myself diving into tournaments — singles, doubles, across different levels — constantly learning and leveling up.
But before pickleball, I was a competitive swimmer. I spent years in the pool, pushing myself to be the best I could be. Swimming taught me discipline, mental toughness, and the importance of technique — all of which I bring to my coaching today. Whether I was racing in the freestyle or butterfly, I learned that success requires hard work, focus, and a willingness to embrace challenges. Those lessons have stayed with me and have been key to my approach in pickleball.
Now, as a coach, I aim to instill those same values in my players. Whether you're just starting or you're competing at a high level, my goal is to help you reach your full potential. I want to teach you how to improve your skills, stay focused under pressure, and most importantly, enjoy the game.
