Pauline Tan

Coaching Philosophy

I believe that everyone should enjoy pickleball the way they prefer as not everyone is looking to be a competitive player. My aim is to equip students with the right skills set to play at the level that they are striving for.

Accreditation & Clubs

Accreditation

I took my RPO level 1 certification in Tokyo in July this year under Collin Johns. I have been playing pickleball since 2019 and I'm on the committee of Sharkies, a competitive pickleball team. I was the Team Manager of Team Lions that represented Singapore in the Pickleball World Cup in Da Nang this year.

Get To Know Pauline

One thing every beginner should know

Getting your foundations right from the beginning can spare you a lot of "unlearning" or corrections down the road.

Funniest coaching moment

When they found out my age and exclaimed that I'm older than their moms and still running around the court.

Most memorable student moment

I recently coached a few seniors and they were very grateful that I understood their limitations and was able to work with them based on their abilities. They laughed when I told them, let's pace ourselves, aim to hit another shot for another day. No funny business ok?
