This coach makes it fun and had me laughing, which eased up my nervousness and we put a lot of good work in. Appreciate it James and look forward to next time. I wanted to leave a review because James helped me when I did not even really think I needed a coach, but he was recommended. Attend to play a fast hard game having been a tennis player and other racket sports. He explained the philosophy of adding in a better soft game using more dinks and drop shots and demonstrated how it could help me with the way I play. I can see perfecting it is harder than it looks… but it’s already making a difference in my play. He stress that there is no magic pill or one size fits all strategy and it depends on a variety of factors. Which seems like common sense now, but I’m hardheaded And had hit a wall that I could not seem to breakthrough or get better. He helped me mentally I guess as much as anything..

Found out James was a pickleball Coach at a conference. We both carry our paddles everywhere so we got to play a little one day and we got into a conversation about footwork, paddle positioning, and techniques I hadn’t thought of. I booked a couple sessions for us to sneak in before the week ran out which dramatically improved my serve, valley and speed ups at the kitchen line. I wished we live closer together because I would train with James three or four times a month at least. Thank you!

James, if you read this, what you don’t know is I almost canceled our lesson after watching you play. You look too good out there, but I assumed that you would expect your students to play your style. I even saw you dive for a ball. That’s intense! But then you somehow put on a different hat, literally, and were way less of an intense coach and I got better dramatically in one lesson. You smile a lot when you teach, maybe do that more when you play (a student tip :-)
