Learned much more than we expected in a single-hour session. Johann went over & beyond to promptly accept our 4th-of-July weekend req. He was agile, clarified expectations, communicated clearly, consistently kind & motivational -- & most importantly, set us up for a successful journey with specific follow-ups.•° If you need your expectations exceeded, then Johann is your coach! > From Tracy.L, 5 out of 5 > Johann's coaching techniques remain super effective because they're essentially combining Eastern wisdom traditions with modern efficiency optimizations, tuned for that kaizen spirit of continuous improvement. He's a special kind of Spiderman on the court, so agile & athletic with Table Tennis chops that almost defy physics; your ideal iron-sharpens-steel coach! > From Coach, 5 out of 5 > So grateful for Johann's supportive Table Tennis style, that helped us win Silver in our inaugural partnership; at CT3's annual tournament. Not only did he help sharpen my TT skills, but effortlessly transitioned our quality training to Pickleball singles; then gently introduced me to a 4.0 Doubles growth opportunity! > From Porter, 5 out of 5 > Johann is a good coach ... he and i had a stupendous ... practice session.

Looking forward to our next opportunity! > From Kyle, 5 out of 5 > Very Good coach ... Only 3 sessions have made us better partners on the court. It reinforced many strategies that we knew but it is more present, like moving up for the 5th shot, being tethered to partner, fast hands, .... 😊 > From Shawna, 5 out of 5 > Johann went over & beyond, to begin extra early 7:15 a.m. at a more convenient venue.
