“Sean is very clear with his instructions. He explains exactly what you need to know without being overly verbose and demonstrates well. Some people spend so much time explaining that you don't get much chance to practice, but Sean provides the right balance. If you mess up, he doesn't immediately stop you to re-explain because he understands you need to keep practicing before you can do what he said. Some people keep stopping you to keep re-explaining, preventing you from continuing to try to actually do what they instructed. Sean is good about letting you know what you did right and *how* you did something wrong. He always provides encouraging feedback.”

Sean is a pretty detailed coach, and I think his lesson really helped me refine some techniques. Though I wished there were a bit more focus on strategy, overall I felt more confident when I left. Still, I appreciate his approach and look forward to hopefully tackling more aspects in future lessons. If you're into pickleball and want a coach who really pays attention, you might want to give Sean a try.

That first pickleball lesson with Sean was a pretty good start. I appreciated how he focused on control and techniques, which are areas I definitely need to work on. Still, I felt encouraged and came away with some practical tips to improve my game. If you're aiming to get a solid handle on fundamentals without the hype, Sean’s a decent choice to consider.

“Covered a lot. Got a lot of practice. Received a lot of pointers about what was good and what wasn't, specifying why something did or didn't turn out the way it should. I think I can progress quickly with his style of teaching.”
