"Sanjay is a natural-born instructor of the game Pickleball. He has helped me transform my Pickleball game immensely. From the beginning of my Pickleball experience, he first took the time to introduce me to the game. Spending time with me and much lesser advanced players with an artistic approach to Pickleball seem easy for him. In the next stage of my Pickleball development, he is pointing out the strategical analysis of the game, to the advanced planning on how to play the game and realizing your opponent's behavior of the game. I often and selfishly call him my coach. His creativity, resourcefulness, and ability to see what may be needed in your Pickleball development through to the end really makes it distinctive and successful. I know it has in my Pickleball game. Thank you, Sanjay, for the work and advice over the past year.
