Think Pickleball Coaching

Taking Alden's First Five Shots clinic was a really great experience. This was my first real instruction after playing for a few months. I learned a lot about strategy and also techniques for the most important shots. I use his tips and techniques every time I play. Alden took a lot of interest in helping me improve my serve and it's now much more consistent. Thanks!

I’m a 74 year old 4.0 player who has been playing pickleball for over a decade and developed some bad habits after knee surgery. Alden helped me analyze my game and made recommendations that immediately resulted in improving my game. I recommend Alden and look forward to working with him again in Seattle or Mexico.

Coach Alden is a fantastic pickleball coach. He was able to adjust his teaching style to best fit the level and playing style of each student. Drills he taught were done with clarity, patience, and enthusiasm with the ability to practice them in games that day. I highly recommend Coach Alden to anyone looking to improve their game. Julia

Alden will be your best cheerleader AND truth teller. If your goal is to have fun and win more often, Alden is the coach for you. Be willing to watch videos of yourself doing silly things, and be open to Alden's thoughtful, diplomatic feedback on how to improve your game and be a supportive team player.

I just completed Alden’s clinic on Magnolia. I am part of a large group on Queen Anne and three of us enrolled in his clinic. Eight people total enrolled and we had a ball. His instruction is simple to follow due to the focus on one thing at a time, it was well organized and I loved watching the videos of myself playing. This came with individual suggestions and included links to training videos. I recommend him highly. Sara
