Excellent teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. Positive, helpful feedback.
Chris M
Tako is a true professional if you're looking to take your pickleball game to the next level. The value and feedback he provides are pricelessβ€”he truly wants you to succeed. I compete in many tournaments, and I always seek Tako's feedback because he's always willing to help. He genuinely cares about you as both a player and a person. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to improve your game, Tako is the best coach you could ask for. Thank you, Tako!
Jeremy Pinga
Have taken multiple sessions with Tako now and have developed skills to help me jump from 3.5 to 4.0+ very quickly. His drills are very effective to help with on court situations and he has a strong ability to identify opportunities to improve your form, position, shot selection, and placement.
Jon Y
Tako is extremely patient when teaching me strategies of pickleball. He is very knowledgeable about the game, and can flex his communication styles when talking to beginners or advanced players of the sport. Highly recommend him!
Jeff Gonzales
Tako knows how to spot the little things to improve that make a big difference when improving my game. He is always positive and knows how to build lasting connections both on and off the court.
Jesse T
Tako is very knowledgeable when it comes to pickleball. He was able to watch me hit play and dissect what I needed to work on. Regardless of what level you are at, he will make you better!
