"Getting a really encouraging lesson with Sarah was quite helpful, especially as I feel I've continued growing my skills and confidence overall. Though I’d appreciate some more specific drills tailored to my game, I think I’m heading in the right direction. Still, I might need to keep practicing to refine my shot and handle better. I’d probably suggest working on that next time, but I’m glad I tried her lesson.

I have been playing basketball ever since I can remember. My family has always been very athletic. My siblings played basketball as well as my parents. My grandma told me a story about how I used to shoot a little basketball into a 10 foot hoop and I would make it. I play in the point guard position. I work very hard at what I do so that makes me advance in my skill for the sport. When I really started to realize I had a passion for it was in 6th grade. We had a lot of new people therefore our team didn't blend great. But even with my team being the way it was I still put everything that I had into it. Two things at the end of the season happened to me that made me realized that if I worked at it I could do great things.

Basketball is what I dedicated myself to as a kid. Through the years I have had many trainers and professionals guide me to a level that I am proud of today. I spent 4 years at University of Indianapolis playing for the Grey Hounds. I was the 15th player in their history to score 1000 points and grab 500 rebounds, I also hold the all time and single season record for blocks. After being at a basketball exposure tour for 2 days in Portugal, I was immediately flown to Oldenburg Germany to begin my brief but educational professional basketball career. Over the years I’ve learned what is most valued at each level and how to show other coaches you have what they need. My love for sport is what drives me most, and I strive to instill that love in the players I train.

"Getting to know Jerry and how he teaches was pretty helpful. He guided me through some key points that made the lesson quite worthwhile. Though I still need more work on swing dynamics, especially with my 7 iron, I’m hopeful I can get there with more practice. Still, the overall approach was quite clear and easy to follow, which was helpful. Jerry is an excellent coach. I’m hoping I can be a better student.

5.0 player and experienced coach. I've played in 100-plus venues in 5 years. I love working with all levels of students.

Pickleball is great as it gets you off the couch, you’ll make new friends, get a decent workout and use your brain to make lots of split-second decisions about how and where you want to hit the ball each time.

"David White fixed my game in one hour — seriously. I came in with a nasty over-the-top move that killed my irons. He spotted it in two swings, gave me one feel and one drill, and I started flushing it immediately. No jargon, no band-aids, just permanent change. I’ve taken lessons from PGA pros all over Florida and nobody comes close to David’s clarity and results. Worth every penny and the drive from Miami.” — Alex M., 6-handicap, Coral Gables

"My daughter has been working with Jessica for about six months now, and the transformation has been incredible. Not only has her defense improved dramatically, but her overall court awareness and decision-making are so much sharper. Jessica pushes her in the best way, she sets high expectations but creates such a positive environment that my daughter never feels defeated. She's also been really flexible with scheduling, which is a lifesaver with our crazy travel season. Worth every penny!
