I had the privilege of being coached by Dean in pickleball, and I must say he is truly exceptional. Dean's talent on the court is evident, but what sets him apart is his coaching prowess. His ability to break down techniques, provide constructive feedback, and motivate players is remarkable. Dean not only refines your skills but also serves as a mentor, fostering a positive and encouraging learning environment. I highly recommend Dean for anyone seeking a skilled and inspiring pickleball coach.

Dean is great! Dean’s extensive knowledge of PB lends to his coaching style. He is calm, patient and easy & fun to work with. His ability to break down each shot, repetition in practice, listening to what I’d like extra instruction on, and stressing the importance of drills have all helped me improve my skills and performance in games. Thanks, Dean!
