“Michael is amazing and is worth more than his current rates. I’ve taken lessons from certified coaches and pros, and have never walked away feeling as hopeful as I did after Michael’s lessons. He somehow turned my frustration into laughter and my “what am I even doing?” moments into actual progress. His patience, sense of humor, and ability to break down the mechanics of each shot made it all click. I learned new techniques, gained confidence, and knowledge to win points. I’ve taken plenty of lessons before, but his individualized coaching was hands-down the best ever. He knows how to meet you where you are and make the process fun. I’m beyond excited to hit the courts and put all of it to use—watch out, competition! 😄 If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate—book with Michael. I can finally say I found the perfect coach. Can’t wait for a follow-up session when I’m back in town! ”

That lesson was quite helpful. Michael's focus on correcting bad habits first really sharpened my awareness, and I appreciated the way he emphasized addressing those issues early on. Still, I think a bit more technical guidance could make the lessons even more effective. Though, I look forward to seeing how I progress with his support and hope he continues to refine his approach. Definitely consider trying Michael if you're looking to improve your game.

Coach Michael was a game-changer in my pickleball journey, especially coming from a tennis background. Despite just one lesson, his expertise helped me transition smoothly to pickleball technique. His relaxed teaching style made learning a breeze, and he tailored the lesson perfectly to my needs. Michael's passion for the game is contagious, leaving me excited to improve. Moreover, he was incredibly patient and engaging with my 8-year-old son. He made the lesson fun and interactive, ensuring that my son felt included and motivated throughout. Michael's ability to connect with both adults and children speaks volumes about his coaching skills. I highly recommend Coach Michael for anyone looking to up their pickleball game, regardless of age or experience level.

I had the pleasure of learning from an exceptional pickleball coach who taught me the fundamentals of dinking to learning the third drop shot. Each session was insightful and engaging. The coach's approach to 'the wall' drill, while very tiring, improved my reflexes. He emphasized the proper way to drive by hitting the ball flat and lifting it up for a top spin. I am sure he can teach me more strategies to better my game and boost my confidence.However, the four hours i budgeted for my training is over. It was money well spent with Mike as my coach.

Michael's attention to detail and personalized approach to drills truly sets him apart. He has a knack for breaking down techniques and strategies in a way that's easy to understand and apply on the court. If you're looking to elevate your pickleball game and reach your full potential, I highly recommend training with Coach Michael. You won't be disappointed!

I guess that about sums it up, the lesson was pretty good and I learned a lot. Though I still need to practice more, I feel like I made some real progress. Michael's approach definitely helped me understand some key aspects of pickleball better. Still, I think with more practice I can improve even further. If you're serious about getting better, it might be worth trying out a lesson with him.

Oh, Michael’s lesson was quite thorough. He explains everything clearly, takes his time, and doesn’t rush through anything, which I appreciated. Still, I think it could benefit from a few more improvements, but overall, I feel more confident about my shot placement and control now. If you’re looking to improve your technique gradually, you might want to give Michael a try.
