He takes the time to understand what you want to improve and builds each lesson around helping you feel more confident on the court. Even though I was brand new to pickleball, he made it fun from the very beginning. He breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, and he gives just the right amount of feedback - enough to help me improve without ever making me feel overwhelmed. What I appreciate most is how he… > From Rainbow, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite focused on working on the smash, which was helpful. Although I need to fine-tune the mechanics of overhead slams, the emphasis on footwork and proper body position really helped me understand what to work on. I feel like there's room for more technical work, but I’m optimistic about what I can improve with time. We also worked on forehand dinking. Michael really helped me with my footwork, which immediately made me stop popping up dinks. If you’re looking to get a solid grasp of smashing and dinking, Michael is definitely the person to work with. > From Saadi, 5 out of 5 > Honestly, I was pretty impressed with how Michael broke down some of the key pickleball techniques during the lesson. He’s got a way of explaining things that makes it easier to pick up, like his focus on stance and shot placement really stood out. Though I still have a lot to work on, I feel more confident about my next game. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on footwork could make the lessons even better. But yeah, I’ll probably try another lesson soon and see how much I can improve. > From Jean, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite thorough, he gave a clear overview of how to hit different shots correctly, which I appreciated. Still, I think practicing dinking and shots from the kitchen line could really help me improve further. Though the experience felt really balanced, I definitely look forward to applying what I learned and hopefully building on it with more practice. Still, if you’re into sharpening your pickleball skills, Michael’s a solid choice to try out. > From Julia, 5 out of 5 > Michael's lesson was quite helpful, especially in highlighting the importance of positioning and shot consistency. Though I still have room to improve, I appreciated how he broke down some key techniques to focus on later. Still, I think a few more lessons could really help cement what I learned and boost my confidence on the court. Hey, if you’re looking for a balanced approach to get better at pickleball, it might be worth trying out a lesson with him. > From Yi, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite enjoyable and really helped me get a better grasp on some fundamental techniques, plus he managed to give individual attention despite the group size. Honestly, the atmosphere was laid-back which made learning easier, and I appreciated his patience throughout. If you’re looking to start or improve your pickleball skills, it’s worth trying out a lesson with him. > From Radella, 5 out of 5 > The session clicked for me, and I appreciated Michael’s patient pace; there was no rush, just steady guidance. I’m excited to work on those dinks and backhand drives next time, building on clear, doable tips. I’ll definitely return for more calm, focused lessons with Maestro. 🥎 Michael also showed high skill level and experience of the game. His dupr is definitely 4.5 or higher. > From Josiah, 5 out of 5 > I'm working on my way to DUPR 3.0 (currently 2.3). For this lesson I wanted to focus on my forehand drives and forehand serves. Michael was able to dissect my issue and feed me different types of balls (low bs high) to see where my weaknesses arise. I was able to figure that my form regresses on low balls and I need to swing further out in front instead of to the side. > From David, 5 out of 5 ## Pages on this site - [Home](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/index.md) - [All services](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/services/index.md) - [Pickleball Lessons](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/lessons) - [Private Lessons](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/private-lessons/index.md) - [Lessons in Cupertino](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/areas/cupertino) - [Cupertino Memorial Park, Cupertino](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/locations/cupertino-memorial-park-cupertino) - [Agent instructions](https://sites.coach/michael-yang/llms.txt) ## Book through the API Michael Yang sells Pickleball lessons on this site.
