Elevated Pickleball Coaching for Players Who Want to Perform at a Higher Level

Refined instruction. Competitive insight. Confident results.

Myrick Tantiado is a Bay Area–based PPR Level 1 Certified Pickleball Coach who brings a rare combination of polished instruction, tournament-proven experience, and personalized attention to every coaching session. His approach is designed for players who want more than casual repetition — they want to improve with intention, sharpen strategy, and develop the confidence to perform under pressure.

Myrick’s competitive journey began with an early breakthrough: a Gold medal at a MiLP 16 event, which earned his team a berth to MiLP Nationals that same year. That result sparked a deeper commitment to mastering the game and competing at a high level, while also helping others unlock their own potential on court.

His recent tournament achievements include Gold in Men’s 4.5, 50+ Doubles, Silver in Mixed 4.5, 50+ Doubles, and Gold in Singles 4.5, 50+ at PPA Sacramento 2026, along with Gold in Men’s 4.5, 55+ Doubles at APP Sacramento 2025, Silver in Mixed 5.0 at the 2025 Golden Ticket Qualifier, and competition at Nationals in 4.5 Men’s 50+.

Whether you are building a more reliable third-shot drop, improving your reset game, developing faster hands at the kitchen, or preparing for tournament play, Myrick’s coaching is tailored to help you play with greater clarity, consistency, and composure. Every session is intentional, focused, and built around helping you reach your next level.

His paddle of choice is now the Zcebra Gazelle, featuring Black Foam technology for longer ball dwell time on dinks, easier resets, and more powerful ground strokes and putaways.

Coaching Philosophy

Every session is:

• Personalized to your level and goals

• Structured with intentional drills and progression

• Focused on measurable improvement

Myrick emphasizes strong fundamentals, smart doubles strategy, efficient footwork, and high-percentage shot selection — the elements that translate directly into winning points.

Most importantly, he helps players build confidence under pressure. Because matches aren’t just about mechanics — they’re about decision-making, discipline, and belief.

Whether you’re new to the sport or pushing toward competitive play, Myrick’s goal is simple: help you improve faster, compete smarter, and enjoy the game at a higher level.
