I would recommend her to snyone”Carol, student · shared by Janette
About JanetteFive years ago, during the pandemic, I began playing pickleball regularly, quickly falling in love with the sport. Over the past two years, I've immersed myself in the game, playing, drilling, and competing in tournaments up to four times per week. While unofficially coaching beginners during this time, my passion for pickleball has grown immensely, driving me to train towards becoming a senior pickleball professional. Currently rated around 4.1 on the DUPR rating scale, I actively participate in advanced tournaments, aiming to elevate my skills further on the path to achieving my professional goals. As a medical doctor, I see pickleball as embodying the values of health, happiness, and community, and I'm eager to share these aspects of the game with others.Go to profileJanette G.

“Michael is a fantastic coach! He’s also an excellent communicator and I really appreciated his professionalism. He’s incredibly kind and treated my 11 year old son like gold. If you are looking for a thoughtful, kind and fun pickelball coach look no further, you found him! I’m excited for our 2nd lesson with Michael. We are hoping and praying to become a mother and son pickelball duo bringing everyone smiles and laughter! God Bless You, All!”Emily W., parent
About MichaelI started playing pickleball 3 years ago and I play almost every day in advanced level open play and ladder sessions. I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to go from not knowing how to play to being a solid pickup player who can play in advanced level games.
I still know exactly what it’s like to be a brand new beginner and trying to figure out the game especially all the rules. My coaching style is easygoing and I try to keep the lessons light hearted so everyone feels welcome and comfortable.
I like to use a mix of drills and gameplay with real time instruction and feedback during my lessons. A group of 3 or 4 students makes for a great class because I can play a doubles game with you while teaching you how the game works.
I can also advise you on equipment, where to play, what apps to download to find games and leagues, etc.
