Brian Crawley
Pickleball Professional
I’ve loved racquet sports my whole life. I was a top junior tennis player in Oklahoma, went on to play Division 1 college tennis, and now enjoy sharing my passion for pickleball (& tennis) with players of all ages and levels.
I’m an RSPA certified pickleball instructor (& tennis) and an advanced pickleball player with a strategic mindset. I take pride in helping players not only improve their technique but also understand the game on a deeper level — to play with a clear purpose on each and every point.
Before becoming a full-time coach, I spent two decades in business development and served as a military officer. Those experiences shaped my approach to coaching: clear communication, adaptability, and a focus on steady growth.
Whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or looking to fine-tune your competitive edge, I’m here to support your journey and help you play your best game.
