About
Working with me means receiving personalized, purpose-driven coaching focused on your goals, strengths, and areas for growth. With 10+ years of coaching experience, a degree in Exercise Physiology, strength and conditioning knowledge, game-film analysis experience, and PPR certification, I combine technique, strategy, movement, and pickleball IQ to help you train smarter, build confidence, and become a more complete player.
Specializes in: helping players master the game beyond just the physical performance. I focus heavily on getting to and controlling the kitchen, developing pickleball IQ, shot selection, positioning, and recognizing game-time situations. Just as importantly, I teach the mental and emotional side of competition—staying composed, adapting under pressure, and making smarter decisions. The goal is to develop confident, complete players who understand not just how to hit a shot, but when and why to use it.
What players say
Shahaab is an awesome coach and someone I genuinely trust with my game. What I like most is that he doesn’t just tell you what shot to hit—he explains why and when to use it. He has a great eye for positioning, shot selection, patterns, and the mental side of the game, and he breaks everything down in a way that’s easy to understand and actually apply on court. He’s helped me become more aware of my decision-making and overall pickleball IQ while still keeping training competitive and fun. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping his players improve. Definitely recommend him to anyone trying to take their game to the next level.
