"Wow, Jens's patience and encouragement really made the lesson stand out. Though I still have some areas to refine, I appreciated how approachable and calm he was throughout.
Jens
I have been teaching people to play pickleball for over three years and love the excitement and fun of new players. I find tennis players and racquetball players and other paddle sports players quickly grasp the rules and need just a little coaching in strategies and shots to quickly become intermediate players. people without a sports background need more in-depth personalized coaching, which is my forte. I love helping people discover their inner jock for the first time and love how much fun even the most basic player has in pickleball. my lessons emphasize the fun while helping learn the basics.
