Pickleball: Henry Meerkerk Pickleball Coach Extrordinaire!

I want to introduce a great pickleball friend and coach: Henry Meerkerk. There are some people who will angrily tell you what you are doing wrong in pickleball, or make you feel like an idiot. But this gentle giant that hails from Abbotsford/Chilliwack, BC is a true example of encouragement. Henry (sometimes called the seagull or albatross because of his incredible wingspan) will straight talk you on how to play better pickleball in a humble mannerism. He self professes that he is far from a pro-pickleball player, but commands authority with coaching that makes all around him, especially myself eager to listen when he starts talking pickleball strategies. Henry towers at 6'4, with strong forearms & legs, and is at ease when playing that smash down the baseline, or hitting those diagonal non volley zone shots. Henry is a true ambassador of Pickleball in that he is approachable, humble, instructive, resourceful, and a man of integrity.
