Accelerate Your Game
I don't believe in the "cookie cutter" approach to teaching pickleball. While there are some indisputable general truths when it comes to playing this amazing game at a high level, it's also true that everyone is different, with their own style and their own strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to help you be the best version of YOU, by shoring up your weaknesses, maximizing your strengths, and custom-tailoring my instruction for your game and personality.
This is how we achieve accelerated improvement, while at a pace right for you.
