We focused on my lab and smash defense, and honestly, I feel more confident than before. Still, I know I need more practice to really get better, but I appreciate that we'll continue working on my skills and habits when we meet again. Oh, and working on serves and returns with you is always helpful, every time I see you, I pick up something new, which is great. I guess what I’d like to see next is a bit more tailored to my current needs, maybe focusing on what I’m losing most points on, but I’m hopeful we’ll find the right topic soon. Overall,… > From Irit, 5 out of 5 > Cal is a great coach and his lesson definitely highlighted some useful techniques I hadn't fully grasped before. Though I still have work to do on consistency, I'm hopeful that with more practice I can incorporate the tips he shared. Honestly, his approach feels quite practical and tailored, which I appreciated. Still, I think continuing with these lessons could really make a difference for my game. I’d suggest giving Cal a try if you're serious about improving your pickleball skills. > From Vivian, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Cal was quite helpful, especially because he offered specific insights into my pickleball technique, which I found pretty useful. Though I still have some areas to improve, I feel more confident moving forward. Still, a bit more focus on shot placement could make the lessons even better. I’m hoping future lessons will be even more tailored to my needs, so I might give Cal another shot. > From Kate, 5 out of 5 > After my trial lesson with Cal, I have to say it was quite a helpful experience. He’s really knowledgeable about the sport and took the time to explain the rules clearly, which was great since I’m pretty new to pickleball. He carefully pointed out where my serves were off and showed me simple adjustments. Still, I hope to figure out a trick to serve more consistently to the target point in future lessons. Would be nice to practice more, but I’m optimistic about what’s ahead, Cal seems genuinely invested in helping trainees improve. > From Kate, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Cal was quite thorough. I appreciated how patient he was in explaining everything, especially since I wanted to focus more on my posture and understanding the rules. Though I still need to refine some details, like my stance during volleys, the lesson provided solid guidance that I can build on. Still, I’m optimistic about future lessons and shaping my game further with his help. Seems like a good way to get better at pickleball if you’re serious about improving. > From Malini, 5 out of 5 ## Frequently asked questions ### Can I book one-on-one pickleball coaching?
