"The lesson went pretty well. Marc gave me some good tips on court positioning, forehand/backhand drives and well as some placement strategies. I can take the feedback and work on it during my pickup games. Looking forward to the next lesson with Marc to keep building on what I’ve learned so far.

"Honestly, I was quite pleased with the lesson, especially how Dylan emphasized controlling the ball under pressure , that really helped me feel more confident during drills. Still, I think a bit more focus on position awareness could make the next lesson even better, but overall, I’d say it was quite helpful. If you’re looking to improve your touch and decision-making, Dylan might be worth trying out.

I’ve been playing pickleball for four years and coaching for three, with consistent experience competing in tournaments. I’m on the court nearly every day and stay closely connected to the local pickleball community, especially in the Arlington area. Sports have always been a core part of my life—including basketball, soccer, and table tennis—but pickleball stands out as the most engaging, strategic, and social game I’ve played. As a coach, I combine drilling with live play, working alongside my students to develop solid shot mechanics, sharpen strategy, and improve decision-making under pressure. Beyond lessons, I help players plug into the local pickleball scene so they can continue progressing through games, leagues, and community connections. If you’re ready to elevate your game, I’d be glad to work with you.

"There was no lesson it was pretty disappointing, mainly because I felt pressured to accept options I wasn’t comfortable with and you clearly didn’t do enough to confirm with the coach beforehand what would he accept virgins and combine to ask me to come his way 1 hr from me that he can't come that way ( he is not doing me a favor and I clearly don't appreciate you sending someone who is now asking u to ask me to come an hour away when he and I have agreed he can't fit in Virginia that he earlier accepted the job for )Still, I think it would be good to be more proactive in checking details next time. George didn't hv any lessons with me as he doesn't work in Virginia but accepted the job I feel he is being manipulative and I wouldn't want to work with him
