"Oh, alright. The lesson definitely helped me improve my game, especially with my backhand smacking, which was a bit of a weak spot before. Parker's approach is quite steady, and I appreciated how he broke down the techniques without rushing through. Though I think focusing a little more on my backhand during future lessons could really make a difference, still, I feel like I’m making progress. If you’re serious about sharpening your skills, it’s worth giving Parker a shot.

"I started playing pickle with some friends of mine and decided quickly that I love it! I met Miles in a restaurant and he told me he was a coach so I decided to give him a try.

I started playing tennis at 11 years old. Among this sport also ping pong was my favorite. I met Pickleball 4 years ago and it seemed a natural combination between the two. Just easier to mastering.

Recently I achieved the Level II from PPR and then I joined IPTPA obtaining the Level I & II Professional Coach Certification. I am a VAIR Rater, a new, innovative, company which has developed an excellent system to rate players for the players. www.vairified.com I am a very patient teacher and a good listener.
