From baseball, football, basketball, ping pong, racquetball, bowling, water skiing, golf and now, pickleball, needless to say, he loves sports and pickleball is his favorite! It takes athletic ability, knowledge and patience to teach a sport like pickleball and my Dad is the best! So, weather you are just starting or have been playing a while and want to fine tune your skills, call John and he have you crushing it in no time! > From Chris, 5 out of 5 > John volunteers his time to coach our middle school pickleball team. He has the patience to deal beginners and intermediate players from our school. He is very encouraging and by his coaching you can tell he is very knowledgeable about the sport. He enjoys teaching all levels and has helped start the pickleball league for our middle schools. We appreciate all his time and effort to coaching these young athletes. > From Krys, 5 out of 5 > John is an amazing teacher-very encouraging, patient and always up-beat. He knows when to move ahead and when to keep repeating the skill. He makes it fun. He’s knowledgeable and a great cheerleader. He allowed us to try out different paddles instead of having to buy blindly. I highly recommend him! As a beginner I couldn’t imagine a more encouraging start than I’ve had working with John Hamm. > From Kathy, 5 out of 5 > John is a great coach, you can tell he thoroughly loves the game and teaching kids. He explains the game in a manner they can understand and act on. He is able to shift his coaching appropriately to beginners or more advanced players as well. I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to get their child started in the game or for anyone who wants to perfect their game! > From Gretchen, 5 out of 5 > John is a patient and wise teacher who helped me see the game in a whole new way. He knows the game inside and out, and he can explain even the most complex concepts in a way that makes sense to me. He's also super chill and laid-back, and he never makes me feel like I'm not good enough. I learned a ton from John, and I'm so grateful for his help. > From Mick, 5 out of 5 > Wow, John’s lesson really sharpened my lob defenses and boosted my backhand skills quite a bit. Though he explains everything clearly and makes it easy to follow, I still see room for more drills to build my confidence further. Honestly, I’d consider trying more lessons with him to keep improving. > From Yen, 5 out of 5 > He was very kind and supportive. The advice he gave was also very helpful and easy to understand. Overall he worked with me at a quick, but not overwhelming pace, and I saw my play get better at an exponentially faster rate with his coaching. > From Nathan, 5 out of 5 > I had my first pickleball lesson with John and it went great! I am new to this sport and he was excellent at explaining everything about it. I think I’m going to love playing pickleball! Looking forward to more lessons with John. > From Sandy, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-john-hamm): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/9fb91e07-f4b8-4e50-be74-9ed65c2ae49c): 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.
