Neal's lesson was quite thoughtful, and I appreciated how he tailored everything to my level. Repetition was really helpful for me, especially learning the basics and how to serve on my first day. I'm feeling optimistic about future lessons with Neal.

Neal is very knowledgeable and can talk pickleball all day - like me! He answered all my questions and worked hard to help me understand the serve, forehand and back hand shots. I will def schedule another sessions.
