Nate Brown is an IPTPA Certified Pickleball instructor with a 5.0+ DUPR rating in men's doubles. He has taught dozens of a wide variety of ages and skill levels. Nate loves helping players to maximize their enjoyment of this wonderful sport...working on not just the physical disciplines of pickleball, but the mental game as well. In 2024, Nate was designated as the Lead Instructor for Apex Pickleball in Murfreesboro, TN. This is his home base for lessons, workshops, and special events.
"The lesson with Nate was quite helpful, especially in working on my pickleball skills at a comfortable pace. The focus on specific mechanics really helped me understand my game better, though I still see room for refinement. I appreciated the calm, clear manner in which he explained things, making the learning process feel natural. Hopefully, with more lessons, I can build on what we covered. Still, I’d encourage others to give Nate a try if you're looking for thoughtful instruction.

Hi, my name is Stephen. I’m a 5.0 singles and doubles Pickleball player. I’m a competitive tournament player that plans to start playing the pro circuit soon, but also have a passion for coaching and helping others. My coaching style is a combination of encouraging, fun, while also trying to get the best out of my students. Before pickleball I was a 2-sport collegiate athlete, and have coached numerous athletes. Furthermore, as a competitive player myself, I am constantly studying, learning, and seeking to improve as a player and a coach. I am continuously learning, and stay up to date with the latest strategies, techniques, and developments in the game. Pickleball is constantly evolving, and is about situational awareness and adaptability. I aim to help my students apply these concepts as well.
"We had the best time with Stephen and learned fun new moves!
