Brian is a fantastic instructor. He meets you where you’re at and is patient. He uses lots of real world examples to support his feedback and instructions. I would highly recommend sessions with Brian.

Hey Brian, thanks again for today. I really love how you’re breaking the game down for us and making us aware of our weaknesses and drills to improve them. You make me think of aspects of the game that I wouldn’t focus on without you bringing it to the forefront. Anyway, you have been so helpful and I just want you to know it is totally appreciated and enjoyed!!!

As a beginner pickle ball player I started to do drills with Brian about a year ago. Brian’s enthusiasm for the game, and his keen attention to to the technical aspects of play helped me a lot as a novice to this fun sport. I would recommend Brian to anyone wanting to learn the game or work to improve and develop their skills. And he makes it fun!

Thanks for all your tips and spending the time explaining them. The time you have spent drilling with me, working on the fundamentals , body positioning has helped improve my all round game. I feel that I am becoming a more accomplished player because of it. I can't thank you enough.
