About Michael

I 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. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

I recently took a pickleball lesson with Michael and it was a great experience! Michael is very knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic, making the session both fun and productive. We covered lots of ground, from proper grip and footwork, to different kinds of shots and court strategy. Michael broke things down in a way that was easy to understand, offering personalized feedback and encouragement throughout. This was my first lesson, and I already feel an improvement. I can’t wait for the next lesson! If you’re thinking about trying pickleball or want to sharpen your skills, Michael is your guy!

Oh, the lesson was quite helpful, especially with volley and drop shot drills that really clarified some techniques for me. Still, I think more practice on those specific shots would be beneficial. There's definitely room for refinement. The serve technique also saw some improvement, which was good to see. Honestly, Michael's approach feels quite measured and straightforward, making it easy to stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. If you're interested in fine-tuning your pickleball skills, I’d say give him a try.

Michael is an excellent teacher. This was my first time playing pickleball. He taught me some of the basics including the rules. Two other players joined us for my first pickleball game. Unfortunately, I lost my balance a couple of times and fell. Michael was concerned about my balance and suggested I see a PT to work on strengthening and balance before continuing with this sport. I feel like he did a great job dealing with my physical limitations. I give him 5 stars.

Oh, the lesson with Michael was quite thoughtful, especially with good tips on strategy and some nice drills volleying at the net and with backhand. Though I think continuing to refine skills and decision-making will really boost progress. Still, I appreciate the balanced approach and the focus on practical aspects of the game. If you're aiming to brush up your pickleball fundamentals without overloading, it's worth trying Michael out.

Honestly, the lesson with Michael was pretty straightforward, and I guess that’s what I needed. Though I felt like I was already at a similar skill level, I still appreciated the way he explained techniques clearly. If you’re looking for a patient coach who keeps it practical, and explains clearly, you might want to try him out. He also accepted my lesson within one days notice, and made an effort to communicate with me. Great guy.

Micheal's lesson was a really good and fun workout, and the enjoyable vibe certainly came through. Though I’d love to see a bit more variety in the drills, I still left feeling pretty motivated to keep practicing. Still, the straightforward approach makes me hopeful to build on what I learned. If you're looking for someone who keeps it relaxed and effective, Micheal's worth checking out.
