Played tennis since I was a kid. I’ve been teaching for the last 3 years. I love to teach and see the improvement in the players, it’s important to have fun and get out theirs stress, that’s my goal.
"The lesson was pretty helpful, especially in refining my backhand strokes, though there’s still room to improve form and consistency. Juan has a calm approach that makes it easy to focus on specific techniques without feeling overwhelmed. I’m optimistic about building on what I learned and hopefully making more steady progress next time.

I’ve been playing golf for 40 years, enjoying it in competitive amateur tournaments, recreationally, for corporate entertainment. I've been honored to play many of the world’s top golf courses and meet several legends of the game like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tony Jacklin, and David Duval. As a lifelong student of the game I’ve received instruction from The Faldo Golf School, Milo Lines Academy, and Dave Pelz short game and putting schools which have helped improved my game. Coaching is my way to give back and grow the game that has brought me so many wonderful memories and friendships.
"Gary was fantastic, took his time with me during the lesson, going over the scheduled time for 30 minutes!!! Definitely well worth it, he also spends a lot of extra time sharing videos with feedback, recommendations and comparisons to pga pros after the lesson. Truly has a passion for teaching, could not recommend more.

Hello! My name is Wade Bryant I am a young professional pickleball player with a high level tennis background that just moved to the Boca Raton area to further my training. I have played pickleball for 5 years and participated in multiple pro events competing against top players like JW Johnson, Dylan Frazier, and others and I’m looking to help improve anyone’s game through private lessons!
"Honestly, Wade's lesson was quite helpful, especially since I need to work on my serve , I was pretty terrible at it. Still, I think focusing solely on that next time could really make a difference. It's good to have a teacher who keeps things straightforward and addresses specific weaknesses. If he can help me clean up my serve, I’d definitely be up for trying another lesson with Wade.
Wade

"I found the lesson to be quite knowledgeable, with John adapting well to my needs and staying right on target throughout. Though I still want more of the same focus, I appreciate how precise and flexible he was in guiding me. If you're looking to refine your skills without overdoing it, trying John might be worth it.
