About Arik Chan

I never imagined I'd love pickleball. Let alone coach it.

Tennis coach since 2002. PTR certified. Decades on court.

Photography instructor with People's Association. Winning photos since 1986.

Said no to pickleball. God laughed.

Now I'm certified. Addicted. And coaching with more joy than I've felt in years.

Passion and hard work. Never been happier.

Thank you, God. You knew better.

📸 The Photographer's Edge

What makes me different? I see the micro-adjustments others miss. A photographer's eye for detail – angles, timing, movement – translates directly to coaching stroke mechanics, footwork, and court awareness. It's not just about hitting the ball. It's about seeing the game.

Now I help others discover how fun, social, and addictive this sport is – whether you're coming from tennis, badminton, or just getting active for the first time.

Same court. Same passion. Smaller paddle. Bigger smile.

But honestly? I just want to do three things:

🥒 Coach pickleball – watching faces light up when it clicks
📸 Teach mobile photography – helping people see the world differently
🎣 Bring people fishing – quiet water, good talks, cold beers

That's my ikigai.

Thank you, God. For all of it.
