I had the pleasure of learning from an exceptional pickleball coach who taught me the fundamentals of dinking to learning the third drop shot. Each session was insightful and engaging. The coach's approach to 'the wall' drill, while very tiring, improved my reflexes. He emphasized the proper way to drive by hitting the ball flat and lifting it up for a top spin. I am sure he can teach me more strategies to better my game and boost my confidence.However, the four hours i budgeted for my training is over. It was money well spent with Mike as my coach.

Coach Michael was a game-changer in my pickleball journey, especially coming from a tennis background. Despite just one lesson, his expertise helped me transition smoothly to pickleball technique. His relaxed teaching style made learning a breeze, and he tailored the lesson perfectly to my needs. Michael's passion for the game is contagious, leaving me excited to improve. Moreover, he was incredibly patient and engaging with my 8-year-old son. He made the lesson fun and interactive, ensuring that my son felt included and motivated throughout. Michael's ability to connect with both adults and children speaks volumes about his coaching skills. I highly recommend Coach Michael for anyone looking to up their pickleball game, regardless of age or experience level.
