Coming from tennis, I wanted to play pickleball as a faster and stronger player. Harrison ran lots of drills to make make me faster, but instead of driving we focused on hands speed since that was my biggest area to improve in. He showed me how different grips can be used for different shots, how less is more at the kitchen, and the importance of dropping the ball especially against people who are bangers. I haven’t taken too many lessons, but I can’t wait to learn more!

I booked lessons with Harrison to improve my court positioning and confidence coming up to the kitchen. I’m still getting there, but learning from him made me realize that dropping the ball rather than always driving is usually smarter. He pointed out my unorthodox technique, and instead of fixing it outright he told me the pros and cons to what I’m doing. He’s an understanding guy, and I’d suggest taking lessons from him if you feel like there’s a gap in your gameplay.

I took pickleball lessons from Harrison after I took tennis lessons. However, Harrison’s lessons were 1 on 1 instead of in a group which, admittedly, put me way out of my comfort zone. It took around 3 lessons for me to get used to single instruction. I felt overwhelmed at first, but Harrison took his time and eased back and ran drills instead of going over the game plans. He helped me get more confident on the court and now I feel like I can plan with other beginners.

I started taking lessons with Harrison, as we play at the same court. We started off hitting aggressive dinks, and he showed me what a good dink was and what a bad one was. He insisted on running lots of drills and practicing consistency, and I’ve noticed that I’m much stronger at the kitchen than my friends! If you want a chill but intense coach, take some lessons with Harrison.

When I started lessons with Harrison, he was great at accommodating me. He knew that I would be more open to learning if we focused on having fun first. Instead of going over a ton of rules and technique, he encouraged me to use my backhand and just feel the game out. It’s been challenging but informative, and I definitely will continue to take more lessons with him!

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonI believe in asking lots of questions at every point of my students’ pickleball journey. If you’re just starting off, I’ll start off on game rules and what a pickleball point consists of.

Lesson 11+These next lessons are up to you. You must ask yourself what you want to improve on and I’ll focus on the how. Anything from hands battles, all-out drives, nasty drives, or resets and impeccable drops, I’ll get you to a level that makes you formidable on the court.

Lesson 4-10If you’re feeling confident with your simpler pickleball mechanics, I’ll begin showing you what an actual pickleball point consists of. During these lessons, I’ll also be recording to see if you have a big or small weakness that’s holding you back and remedy it on the spot.

Lesson 2-3After our first lesson together, I believe it’s best to not overwhelm you with too many rules and do or do nots! Instead, we’ll just simply hit together until I think you are at the point of using your pickling skills in an actual game.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonIf you’re advanced at this game, you already know what you want from a coach. We’ll be talking strategy and I’ll be making direct and clear plans to how you can make consistent and achievable growth in your goals.

Lesson 11+These ongoing lessons will purely be based on your willingness and drive to drill, lab out new techniques, and get advice on your game. Consistency is the best path to perfection, and as long as you have someone with you, anything is possible!

Lesson 4-10These lessons will all be about technique. I’ll be hyper critical as well as supportive of your practice to get you to your goals. I will be filming to show you immediately what you are doing well and what can be improved, as well as editing longer form videos to present your exact identity as a player to yourself.

Lesson 2-3For these next two lessons, I’ll be looking at if what you say and want is actually what you should be improving on. I believe that our strengths should be emboldened while also having our weaknesses diagnosed and treated. If everything is going to plan, we’ll continue to work on both.

Youth players

Working with kidsI’ve worked with kids and tweens quite a bit. The biggest factor I look out for is attitude. I believe in a firm yet encouraging approach, whether it’s young picklers or a more advanced one. Kids need to be encouraged and worked with their strengths more, and that is something I love doing!

Working with teenagersIt’s a privilege to work with teens because they almost always have a great amount of talent in the sport! I try to quickly find where their talent lies and base a game plan around it. Just like everyone else, I’ll be encouraging you a lot while also being a kind teacher.

What you need to bringNothing! Except for a can-do attitude and maybe some sunscreen

What I can bringI will bring multiple paddles, professional outdoor pickleballs, a full-length pickleball net, and instructional aides to help you!
