Stephen

Stephen is no stranger to building communities through sport. With years of experience as a badminton host, he’s long been passionate about bringing people together, creating welcoming spaces, and helping others stay active through movement.

When he discovered pickleball, something clicked. The sport’s energy, inclusiveness, and potential to grow deeply resonated with him. What began as pure passion quickly became purpose. Seeing the opportunity to turn this into a career, Stephen stepped in with both feet—recognizing that it aligned perfectly with his ikigai.

Now, as both a pickleball host and coach, Stephen brings his experience, warmth, and organizational flair to every session. Whether it’s hosting engaging open plays or guiding new players with patience and clarity, he specializes in helping beginners take their first steps and confidently progress toward intermediate play. His goal is simple: to inspire more people to pick up a paddle, stay active, and find joy in the game—just like he did.
