Scott is a great instructor. I told him what I wanted to improve, and he quickly put together a challenging but great lesson to target those areas. Not only did he help me improve key details, he also emphasized the small things that are easy to overlook, which made a difference for me. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Scott

Hey, I have to say, Scott's lesson was quite helpful, especially focusing on positioning and ball placement in the kitchen. Though my ankle injury limited some movements, I still felt like I made good progress. I appreciate the detailed guidance on volleying too, and I’m hopeful to continue improving with practice. Still, I look forward to more focused work on shot placement in future lessons as well. Interestingly, Scott’s approach was straightforward but effective, making me feel more confident on the court. If you’re interested in refining your dink and soft game, I’d suggest giving him a try.

Let me start off by saying I have had lessons previously by other coaches who charged more but didn't help me with the things I actually needed help with. Scott takes an innovative, hands on approach in really getting to know his clients by watching and playing with them in real time. Through video, hands on explanation, and drilling, Scott has molded me into a player that can compete with anyone! Scott understands the game in a way few others I have met see it; combined with his easy going personality, Scott shows how much he cares about his clients succeeding. Scott has already transformed me into a much better player then I had ever expected and continues to teach me more every lesson I have. I highly recommend him for anyone at any level.
