The Right Place @ the Right Time
Sharing my passion
Hi, My name is Richard Lee (IPTPA and NCCP Level 2 coach).
Are you a passionate pickleball player yearning to break through your plateau? You've tried YouTube tutorials, sought advice from fellow players, and maybe even attended camps, but still feel stuck in a maze of conflicting information. That nagging feeling that you should be playing better persists, and facing more experienced opponents leaves you feeling intimidated. Good news: your transformative journey starts here. Let's team up to unlock your true potential, and get a fresh perspective that will revolutionize your game. Get ready to see pickleball in a whole new light and finally achieve the progress you've been craving.
As a co-founder of the Vancouver Pickleball Association, a former fitness leader and now a Pickleball coach, my passion lies in fostering participants well-being and their continuous improvement.

- Optimal court positioning

Unveiling the Hidden Court
There's more to the pickleball court than meets the eye. Beyond the visible lines and zones lies a strategic playground waiting to be explored. As you develop your skills, you'll begin to see the court as a chessboard of opportunities, with each area offering unique advantages. Learn to read these invisible patterns and use them to outmaneuver your opponents. Your newfound court awareness will transform your game, giving you an edge that goes far beyond basic shot-making.

As a dedicated pickleball coach and player, I'm thrilled to endorse GRÜVN's innovative paddle lineup. This Canadian design company has impressed me with their diverse range of paddles catering to various playing styles and skill levels. GRÜVN's use of advanced materials, like raw carbon fiber and Kevlar blends, offers an excellent balance of power, control, and durability. Whether you're a power hitter or a control specialist, there's a GRÜVN paddle to elevate your game. From the powerful MÜVN series to the spin-friendly LAZR lineup, GRÜVN paddles have consistently enhanced my performance on the court. For players seeking to improve their games, I highly recommend giving GRÜVN paddles a try. They've made a significant impact on my play, and I'm confident they can do the same for you.
