"Tanav helped me transition from a tennis player into a pickleball player. He’s super supportive, super humble, and super skilled at introducing new skills. He was very observant and instructed me on what adjustments I needed to make. He’s very adapt and encouraging, and I improved a lot even after a single lesson. At first I couldn’t even hit the ball on my forehand side, and now it’s my killer shot. I have complete confidence stepping onto the pickleball court. I’m very grateful.
