About John

I'm John Yagi, a passionate NCCP Level 2 Pickleball Coach and Instructor. I've immersed myself in the sport for over 5 years, transitioning into coaching 2 years ago to share my love and expertise with others. Recently, I had the exhilarating experience of competing in the USA National Pickleball Championships in Dallas, TX, where my blind-date mixed doubles team secured a commendable 6th place out of 23 teams.

What students say...

"The lesson was quite helpful. Coach was patient and clarified strategies and rules, which made a difference. Though I still want to learn partner play, I feel more confident about my basic understanding now and look forward to building on that.

John's first lesson was pretty good, especially since he took the time to explain the basics and techniques clearly. I liked his patience and the way he broke things down, though I do think some more tactics and paddle control drills could make future lessons even more helpful. Still, I'd consider trying him again if you're looking to build a solid foundation.

I felt the lesson with John was quite helpful, especially in understanding how to better control my shots during quick exchanges. Though I still need to work on consistency, I think with a bit more practice I can really improve my game. If you're aiming to sharpen specific skills, I’d say giving him a try is worth considering.

Oh, I guess I was pretty happy with the lesson. John had some useful pointers, especially on court positioning, which definitely made a difference for my game. Still, I think there’s room to focus more on paddle control next time. If you’re into improving your overall gameplay, it’s worth trying out a lesson with him.

Facing a smooth flow, I leaned into John’s coaching as gears shifted with upbeat focus. The highlight, Changing Gears to level up, landed with practical moves I can apply immediately, and I’m motivated to practice for progress. I’m excited to see how Maestro’s lessons unfold next. 🥎
