"Great teacher!
Ken
With over three decades of experience as a military trainer, soccer coach, graduate marketing professor, and now an IPTPA coach/trainer, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our coaching sessions. While I'm a 4.0-rated player, that is not what makes me a good coach. Playing the game at a high level and coaching others require different skills. Coaching goes beyond following proven techniques and passing exams. It is about connecting with my students and tailoring lessons to their unique needs and skill levels. I understand that each player has their makeup and learning style, and I am skilled at adapting my coaching methods to ensure maximum progress and fulfillment. As your pickleball coach, I am focused on enhancing your skills and serving as a motivator and a dedicated instructor for your safety. While pickleball is an exciting game, it has seen increased injuries due to players not fully understanding its nuances. I will guide you in playing safely and provide the necessary knowledge to prevent injuries, allowing you to enjoy the game fully without compromising your well-being.
"Great!
Zev
With years of paddle and racquet expertise under my belt, I bring a wealth of knowledge to each lesson. I've designed various training programs for players of all different skill levels that delve into the techniques and strategies of the game. My goal is not only to help you better understand the game, but to help you become the best player that you can possibly be. I look forward to helping you elevate your game!
"That lesson was quite helpful. Brad's focus on consistency really stood out, and I appreciated how he explained the positioning technique clearly. Though I still have room to improve, I’m feeling more prepared to work on my shots. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress after just one lesson, hope to keep building on this with Brad’s guidance.
