He helped me clean up my game, but the biggest difference was learning how to actually play with strategy instead of just hitting the ball. He taught me where to be on the court, when to attack, when to reset, how to construct points, and how to play smarter against different types of players. I started seeing the game completely differently. Going from a 3.5 to a 4.0 has been a huge accomplishment for me, and a big part of that is because of his coaching. He’s knowledgeable, keeps the les… > From Craig, 5 out of 5 > I came to him because my two-handed backhand was probably the weakest part of my game, and I honestly didn’t know what I was doing wrong. He broke it down in a way that finally made sense and helped me understand the right grip, swing path, timing, and footwork. After just a few lessons, I felt a huge difference. My backhand is more consistent, I’m able to hit with a lot more confidence, and I’m not constantly thinking about what I’m doing with my hands anymore. He’s a great coach because he doesn’t just tell you what to do—he explains why you’re doing it. Plus, he keeps the lessons fun and r… > From Melissa, 5 out of 5 > I had such a great experience taking a lesson with him! He’s one of those coaches who can actually teach you a lot while making the whole thing fun. He kept things light, joked around, and somehow made me forget I was working on things I definitely needed to improve 😂. He gave me tips that actually made sense and were easy to use when I got back on the court. I left the lesson feeling more confident, playing better, and having a lot of fun. If you want a coach who knows his stuff but doesn’t take himself too seriously, I’d definitely recommend him! > From Laura, 5 out of 5 > I’m a beginner and was a little nervous about learning pickleball, but Joey made it fun and easy right from the start. He explained everything in simple terms and never made me feel overwhelmed. He was patient, encouraging, and kept the lesson relaxed while still helping me improve. By the end, I understood the basics, felt much more comfortable on the court, and was actually playing! I’d definitely recommend Joey to anyone who is new to pickleball and wants to learn the game, get better, and have fun doing it! > From Ping, 5 out of 5 > We worked with him to get our mixed team ready for a tournament, and it made a huge difference! He helped us understand our roles, improve our positioning and communication, and gave us a strategy for how to play together instead of just relying on our individual games. The biggest thing was how much more confident and comfortable we felt as a team going into the tournament. He kept every session competitive, positive, and fun, and we walked into the tournament feeling prepared and ready to compete! > From John, 5 out of 5 > As a complete beginner, I had no idea where to start with pickleball, but he made learning the basics so much easier and actually really fun. He was patient, explained everything in a way that made sense, and helped me learn the fundamentals of serving, returning, positioning, and keeping score without feeling overwhelmed. I left my first lesson feeling confident enough to get on the court and play, and most importantly, I had a blast doing it! Highly recommend him to anyone just getting started! > From Tersea, 5 out of 5 > Joey makes pickleball fun, simple, and easy to understand. He doesn’t overload you with complicated instructions or try to change everything at once. He explains things in a way that actually makes sense, then gets you playing and learning through real game situations. > From Dennis, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-joey-mandra): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/40042eff-30ef-412e-abb6-1c8c450c3ba2): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
