What really impressed me was that I went into the first class being a bit nervous being his friend, but he had everyone introduce themselves and he said by all means that I was to tell everyone I was his friend (and it turned out, only male besides himself) and everyone seemed excited because his friend had signed up. Dave started with all the basics, how to hold the Paddle, how to be in position to serve or return, how the scoring works, and when I got confused keeping… > From John, 5 out of 5 > David is a very patient coach. He was very clear when he explained the rules of pickleball. He was able to help each one of us but still pay attention to the other players. He was very encouraging which made us want to come back for more lessons. He provided easy exercises to do on our own. I would highly recommend him if you are thinking of taking up pickleball. > From Cindy, 5 out of 5 > I found Dave in Puerto Vallarta. He gave me lessons on serving and dinking. We focused on my mechanics and I was able to add power and spins to my serves and I’m able to dink more aggressively and with a purpose. I’m looking forward to taking his drop shots and transitions class and more serving classes next fall. > From Ross, 5 out of 5 > Received my first formal instruction on Pickelball from Dave. His approach was to teach the fundamentals and then facilitate drills to help us perfect those skills. Dave’s an excellent Instructor and an even better person. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE! > From Anthony, 5 out of 5 > Dave is great at adapting his coaching technique to the players. He is very patient with our group of Adults with Disabilities and makes every class lots of fun! He is knowledgeable and has actively been involved in the progress of our athletes. > From Lindsay, 5 out of 5 > I started as a complete beginner having never played before. My friend and I have taken multiple classes with Dave and he’s very patient with me and although I’m not very athletic, I am growing better each session. He makes it easy to learn. > From Jill, 5 out of 5 > I take Dave’s individual clinics through Bloomington Ed. He’s helped me immensely with my serves, dinks, drops, lobs/defending lobs and footwork. He’s made me really focus on my footwork and strategy and it’s helping me in rec play. > From Nancy, 5 out of 5 > Dave is a very knowledgeable and accomplished pickleball instructor. You can care he cares deeply about developing players’ abilities and addressing any questions they may have while working on their game. > From Ann, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-david-ostlund): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/ef505ec0-4328-4068-9eb0-71f10b928155): Read open times, get an exact quote, and book for a student. - [Agent instructions](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/llms.txt): Read this before calling the API.
