What students say...

"Eric and I made such great progress within our first lesson together. His teaching style really clicked with my learning abilities and that was very helpful with the drills we were doing. I left with enough information and ideas on what I can work on during my own drilling sessions to help me move forward with this pickleball journey. He is patient, super knowledgeable, and gives great instant feedback.

Honestly, I think Eric's approach really works. He's an excellent coach, especially for someone new to pickleball like me. The lesson helped me understand the game better, and I appreciate his patience and clear explanations. Though I could still improve, I feel more confident about my skills now. To improve even more, I suppose I’ll need to keep practicing what we covered. Still, I’d say giving him a try is worth it if you’re looking to get a solid start.

I'm pretty glad I took a lesson with Eric because he’s really in tune with my level and adjusts his approach accordingly. Though I still need to work on my serve, I feel like I’ve made some progress thanks to his focus on areas where I struggle most. Pretty helpful overall, and I’d say it’s worth trying him if you want tailored advice.

The was helpful, actually. I got to learn some basic techniques and think through game strategies a bit, which was pretty good. Building on that foundation would be the next step. If you're into sharpening skills, Eric might be worth trying out.

The lesson was pretty helpful, especially since Eric gave me some good pointers to work on for my defense, though I’m still aiming for that 3.0 assessment. It’s a bit uncertain if I should switch to another coach, but I still feel like I’m on the right track. Definitely looking forward to seeing how I can improve with more practice, and maybe Eric’s guidance will help me get there eventually.
