"I would recommend Coach Michael to anyone interested in learning pickleball and/or improving their game. He is very skilled at making sure you're equipped with the fundamentals to take your game to the next level. He also has a good eye for identifying areas in one's game that need improvement at any skill level. He is good at breaking down difficult concepts and making them more digestible for the player. In addition, he is patient, kind and professional. His work ethic and passion for tennis are evident in the quality lessons he provides. I have had the pleasure of working with him in both private lessons and group clinics, and I fully recommend both services.
