Are you playing more but not improving?
Most players rely on games and scattered advice to get better. But without a clear plan, progress is inconsistent and frustrating.
Not sure what to train
Without direction, it’s hard to know what will actually improve your game.
Practice without structure
Playing without structure makes progress inconsistent and slow.
Repeating the same mistakes
Without feedback, bad habits stick and hold you back.
There's a better way to get better
Instead of guessing what to work on, follow a structured system designed to help you improve with intention.
I've built an online community where, you’ll learn what to train, how to train it, and how to track your progress—so your time on the court actually translates into real results.

Derek Rungsea
Built on real coaching experience
I’ve coached 550+ lessons across players of all levels, and the biggest difference between those who improve and those who don’t comes down to structure.
I've developed a training system that ties together the same coaching principles, drills, and progressions I use in lessons—so you can keep improving on and off the court.

What students are saying
Derek is the coach for you if you want a transformative experience. Very personable, will spend the time to get to know you first, and then individualize your lesson so that you can't help but level up your game!
Derek’s a great guy. We talked before the lesson so he could understand what I wanted to work on going into it. I’m happy with the relationship! I saw an immediate improvement after just one lesson.
Derek is a great coach. He observes, analyzes and give suggestions to my weaknesses. I’ve already improved in my first lesson!
Derek was very instructive and patient. His tennis technique really supports pickleball and my strokes are now definitely improved.
Professional, great immediate feedback for technical improvement and strategy. Lots of experience teaching tennis and now pickleball.
Derek is an outstanding instructor. He is very patient and friendly. He is also quite skilled and knows how to help improve mechanics and form.
Best instructor to date. He focused on fundamentals first. I wish I had learned all this from the start instead of having to change years later…
