Understanding the proper technique of each stroke, quickly detecting the problem and then immediately initiate an effective plan to correct the errors makes me an effective Instructor.

Q: What’s your pickleball story? How were you introduced to Pickleball?

 

​

I started 4 years ago with a group of foreigners who shared with me the strategies and basic rules of the game and since then I practice it 4 to 6 days a week with players of different levels. Two years ago I became interested in starting this sport at a competitive level and as a coach of a group of beginners.

 

I have played in Canada (Regina and White City) and in 5 Mexican states with different groups (Mexico City, Oaxaca City, Puebla, Queretaro, Hidalgo) and participated in 4 tournaments in Bahias de Huatulco, Mexico City and Queretaro at level 3.5 in Women Doubles, Mix Doubles and Team, obtaining 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals.
