"That lesson was quite helpful, especially learning how to keep score by playing games. Sofia’s approach with strategies really made a difference, I still feel like I have a lot to work on, but I’m hopeful about continuing to improve. If you’re into picklesports, I’d say it’s worth trying out her lesson.

"I wanted to work on a special skill that I’ve been trying to work on for a long time, but just couldn’t master. I couldn’t figure how to do the backhand flick. I took a lesson with Jordan and he was able to show me my hand positioning, feet positioning, theory, and by the time I was done, I was able to do the backhand flick naturally. He is such a good coach and really cares about making you the best player you can be. He has such good technique and theory and really helps with strategy as well.
