In this episode of the Pickleball Legends Podcast, I sit down with Linh Nguyen — a coach from Taunton with an international background and one of the happiest faces on the court. Linh and I first crossed paths competing in the same tournament, and since then I’ve had the chance to see the passion and intensity he brings to the game.We talk about his journey from other racquet sports, how he discovered pickleball, and what led him to start coaching. Linh shares his perspective on developing players, competing, and the lessons he’s learned from both playing and coaching the sport.This episode dives into the grassroots coaching side of pickleball, the growth of the game in the UK, and the experiences that shape players on and off the court.
