"Honestly, Ethan's lesson was quite good and I really liked that he likes very much. The lesson highlight really stood out, and I think with a bit more practice, I could improve even further. Though I’d probably benefit from some variety in drills, his calm approach kept me comfortable throughout. Still, I feel confident about keeping at it with Ethan's guidance.

"I had my first pickleball lesson with Kibom Kim and it was a great experience. As a beginner, I wasn’t sure about the proper techniques, but he made everything easy to understand. He taught me how to grip the paddle correctly, proper stance and foot positioning, and worked with me on dinking, volleys, and drives. What stood out most was how patient and attentive he was throughout the lesson. He watched my form closely, pointed out small things I could adjust, and explained why those changes mattered. I could actually feel myself getting more comfortable and consistent as we practiced. The lesson was well organized, hands-on, and tailored to my skill level. If you’re new to pickleball or want to improve your fundamentals, I highly recommend Kibom Kim. He’s a knowledgeable coach who genuinely wants his students to get better. Looking forward to more lessons!

I’m a lifelong student of the game, raised in a family of coaches, and I’ve spent years in the gym studying how players actually improve. I care about the details—footwork, decision-making, and building skills that show up in real games. Every session is focused on helping players grow their confidence, understand the game, and become more effective when it matters. I built my own game around efficiency—shooting over 60% from three with a 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio—and that same approach is what I now use to help players improve and reach their potential. Above all, my goal is to help players develop a genuine love for the game that lasts a lifetime.
