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.
A few things to know.
Which book should I start with?
Hard hitters do not have to set the terms. Volume I and Volume II focus on specific problems. Volume III brings the full method together and comes only in the collection.
What is in the collection?
All three books for $97. Volume I is $27 on its own. Volume II is $47 on its own. Volume III is available only with the collection.
