I'm John Yagi, a passionate NCCP Level 2 Pickleball Coach and Instructor. I've immersed myself in the sport for over 7 years, transitioning into coaching 4 years ago to share my love and expertise with others. Recently, I had the exhilarating experience of competing in the USA…
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.
