Hey, I’d say the lesson with Nick was quite helpful, especially in understanding some of the basics better. Though I still think I need to work on my positioning and shot placement, the lesson really gave me a good foundation to build on. I’m quite hopeful about improving, and I might consider another one soon to refine things further. Definitely worth giving Nick a shot if you're looking to get into pickleball.

Nick is an excellent coach. He designs his lessons to fit your skill ability and builds on that to improve your skills. Nick has a positive attitude and is always fun to work with. I was very pleased with my lessons.
