That lesson gave me a really good real experience, and I feel like I understood things quite well. Max's approach is pretty relaxed but insightful, and I appreciated the focus on practical skills. Though I still need to learn lobs and improve my movement up to the kitchen, I think with more practice I'll get there. Still, it was helpful to get a sense of how to approach those aspects in actual play, and I’m hopeful about the progress ahead. If you're into pickleball and want a grounded, honest lesson, I’d say it’s worth trying Max.

Max was geat. I had played tennis in high school, but basically nothing for over 50 years. Prior to Max, I had one group lesson, but it wasn’t enough to learn the very basics. With Max, my confidence greatly improved. I’m going to try another open play before another lesson. I have several great takeaways, including crouching more and keeping my arm straight, and striking the ball in the middle of the paddle. Max was very encouraging and convinced me I could advance to the intermediate level with some good guidance.

Max was able to provide a well rounded overview of pickle ball in our hour session. I believe I could walk into an open game and not embarrass myself too bad. However, I plan to continue lessons with Max. I would prefer having some more lessons before I go out on my own, His enjoyment of the game is contagious and he’s a great instructor .

I really appreciated Max’s patience, positivity, and kindness during the lesson. It was encouraging to receive corrections while feeling comfortable and supported in my learning. His approach makes improving skills enjoyable. If you’re looking for a coach who makes the game fun and uplifting, Max is definitely someone to try out. 👋

Max is a fantastic pickleball coach! I’ve significantly improved my game (especially my serve) after only a few lessons. He is very friendly and makes the lessons both informative and fun. Scheduling a time and location for the lessons has been very convenient for me which is great!

We have been working with Max for over a month now in a group setting, and all of us have seen significant improvements in our game from serving, volleying, to powerful shots, and thorough process, and strategy.
