I've been playing Pickleball for close to 20 years and didn't have anyone to teach me back then except other players so I formed some bad habits. Some of those I have fixed but still in the process of breaking the rest. I can teach new folks the game and coach players that are looking to become a better player by breaking some old habits while acquiring some beneficial ones.
