"WOW! Abhi is an awesome pickleball coach!( And we have been to all the “big name”pickleball camps) Marc and I recently took a lesson with Abhi and it was FANTASTIC! Abhi is a fantastic player, but more to the point, Abhi is an EXTREMELY TALENTED and EXPERIENCED COACH, too!! From the moment we met him, he asked us what we were working on, assessed our skills, and quickly implemented a strategy and lesson plan to improve our performance. He provided instant feedback and advice. He reinforced the importance of muscle memory by repetition and explaining the process of working on the task. Abhi set up drills and short fun games to reinforce the lesson. Abhi also provided us with a homework assignment on the most essential aspects of the training. WOW!! We are grateful for the opportunity to work with ABHI! Merci beaucoup mon Ami.
