Ryan McCarthy

Pickleball Teaching Professional

My journey into pickleball began 2½ years ago, building on a lifetime of competitive baseball. Years on the diamond shaped how I move, compete, and think strategically and those foundations translated onto the pickleball court. What started as a new challenge quickly became a passion, pushing me to refine my game through practice, disciplined training, and a deep love for competition.

Now a 4.5+ rated player and certified pickleball coach, I focus on helping players develop a powerful yet controlled game. My coaching emphasizes efficient power generation, smart shot selection, consistency under pressure, and high-level strategy, the tools that separate reactive players from confident competitors. I believe great pickleball isn’t about forcing speed or strength, but about timing, balance, and clarity.

My coaching motto is “Relaxed is Fast.” When players learn to stay loose, trust their mechanics, and simplify decision-making, everything speeds up naturally, from hands battles to court movement to overall performance.

Whether you’re looking to level up competitively or simply play with more confidence and intention, my goal is to help you move better, think sharper, and enjoy the game at its highest level.
