It was a great first lesson! Sean assessed my skills and addressed my issues transferring from tennis to pickleball. We performed drills. Sean not only explained the why, but showing me and breaking it down on the court was very helpful. Would absolutely suggest taking lessons to build good skills if you're just starting out or a former tennis player.

The lesson with Sean was quite relaxed, and I appreciated his patience and solid knowledge. We focused on some specific techniques, and I still see plenty of room to improve on my skills. Still, I felt like I left with a clearer understanding of certain shots, which is encouraging. If you're after a low-pressure environment to get a grasp on pickleball fundamentals, I think Sean's worth a try.

Sean was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable of the game. I definitely would recommend him to help you learn the game!!

A lot of fun and included playing my first real match!

Starting at the beginning was really what I needed, and Seanโ€™s lesson did a solid job of giving me that. Though I still see this as part of my ongoing process, I think the next step in my learning will be to focus on applying what I learned to actual matches. Itโ€™s encouraging to feel like Iโ€™ve made some progress, and Iโ€™d say itโ€™s quite helpful that he pinpointed what I need to work on without overloading me. Honestly, if you're looking for a coach who knows how to get you started without rushing, you might find this lesson worthwhile.
