Learning Psychologist · IPTPA Level II Certified Pickleball Teaching Professional · fmr. Selkirk Sport International Advocate

Most pickleball instruction teaches strokes. Dr. Kim teaches judgment. As a learning psychologist, he studies how players perceive a scene, weigh options, and choose a target under pressure, then turns that science into training you can use in your very next game. In 2024 he founded Pickleball Tactics to give that judgment a curriculum of its own.

His standing in the game is a first. He is the first pickleball strategy specialist: the coach who built an entire curriculum around shot selection back when nobody was teaching strategy at all. He holds IPTPA Level II certification, and he previously served as Selkirk Sport's International Advocate, working to raise the standard of pickleball education worldwide.
