Coach Ming
Hello, I’m Coach Ming. I grew up in Shanghai and played table tennis as a girl. I coached young players in San Jose, California, for 35 years. At 58, my adult students brought me to a pickleball court. I laughed. Then I fell in love.
Today I teach players over 55 to stay calm when the pace picks up.
Every picture of me on this site is an illustration.
