"That lesson with Frank was quite helpful. I especially appreciated the way he explained some key strategies, and the lesson highlighted how important the fundamentals are. Still, I think adding more drills and rallys could really make a difference in building consistency. Yeah, Frank's approach feels practical, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus on rallying, I’ll see further progress. If you're looking for someone who knows their way around tennis lessons, you might want to give Frank a try.

Michele's journey into pickleball began in 2017, driven by her preparation for the US Transplant Games the following year.

It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.

Hockey has been my life for as long as I can remember. That passion led me to Wilkes University and then to the ECHL, where I've been playing professionally for the past three seasons. Now, I'm excited to share my knowledge with the next generation. I've been running hockey camps and lessons for players of all ages, from beginners to aspiring pros. My coaching goes beyond skills, focusing on mental toughness, efficiency, and the small details that make a big difference. I incorporate skill development into game-like scenarios, so players learn how to apply techniques effectively. Whether you're just starting or looking to refine your game, I can help you reach your full potential. As I consider my own future in pro hockey, I'm eager to help others achieve their hockey dreams.
"I started working with Nick 3 years ago in the summers. He not only devolved the skill side of my game, but has taught me alot about positioning, and the small details that make up the game of hockey. Will be continuing to work with him!

My mission as a golf teacher is to identify and optimize your innate biomechanics in order for you to consistently hit higher quality golf shots. I captained my golf teams both in high school at Hanover Park and College at Susquehanna University, and have been giving free lance instruction to friends and family for the last 10 years. Seeing the successes of my clients has encouraged me to branch out to a broader base of golfers of all levels of skill. My knowledge of the game comes from 25 years of playing experience, caddying for professionals, and studying the best players and instructors in the world. I believe what separates me from most instructors is my method of assessing your natural movements and working within those parameters to create your ideal grip, setup, posture, and swing type. Not only will this lead to you playing your best golf, but it will minimize the effects of any chronic pain or ailments you may have and maximize future injury prevention. Aside from simulator lessons, I also offer playing lessons, short game work, and club fitting assistance. I want my students to be able to reach me 24/7 with any type of follow-up questions and feedback. I'm not a cookie cutter hourly instructor, I take pride in being your golf coach and helping you get the most out of your game!
"“Working with Pat has been the best experience I’ve had with a golf instructor. His knowledge of the game and his ability to teach everyone on their unique swing characteristics is something far advanced compared to others. He gives you confidence in your ability and I always walk away learning something new from each lesson.”
