Learn Pickleball with Michael
⭑5.0 (12)
💰$75 weekly lessons
As an accomplished, lifelong tennis player and competitor, I have coached the game since 1988. In 2017, I quickly mastered pickleball and began coaching it shortly thereafter. I am a former USPTA professional with an advanced degree in Psychology, focusing on sports competition. Additionally, I have spent over ten years in secondary and post-secondary academic education. This unique combination of training and experience has given me great insight into how humans learn and develop new skills at various stages of life. My innovative training methodology is designed to prevent the formation of bad habits and improper muscle memory during the crucial stroke acquisition phase. Recovering from a life-altering car crash and a host of sports injuries has given me a new perspective on life and coaching. Every day is an opportunity to introduce the wonder of this game to everyone I meet and help those already engaged to be the best they can be. I look forward to seeing you on the court soon!

Coach Michael is experienced, conscientious, skillful and methodical in his teaching methods, making the training fun at the same time. His background in psychology and academic education gives him an extra edge in choosing the best way to guide you throughout the learning process. He’s always encouraging, understanding and respectful. During my training with Michael, I’ve also received beneficial advice from him in different areas of health. He introduced me to the appropriate exercises that improved my physical condition overall. He also enjoys sharing his knowledge on nutrition and healthy habits to improve my quality of life. During that the first six months of training with Michael, I lost 14 pounds and one size! I now wear a size small…If you’re looking for a truly dedicated pickleball coach with the highest qualifications both on and off the court, Michael is for the one for you!

***** “Michael has the uncanny ability to tailor his communication style to each individual's needs. Further, he tailors his instruction to challenge you to perform to your personal best, while making it fun, and a great workout at the same time! He gives feedback in a positive way that encourages me to push harder to become better. I’d recommend Michael for any level of player, beginner to advanced. Whether you’re looking for social or recreational fun, or a coach that will develop your skills and make you a competitive player, Michael is the one. I have had many instructors, but Michael truly stands out as my favorite.”

Michael is simply an amazing and passionate coach who communicates well. He also has a good sense of humor. He explains things in an easy to understand way and praises you for your performance. He often uses video and he was able to point out bad habits I didn’t even know I had. He also showed me my strokes in comparison videos with my idol, Venus Williams. One thing I have to say, unlike prior coaches I had, Michael didn’t keep feeding me balls to further deepen my bad habits. He addressed the problems right way and finally got me on the path to progress. I’m planning to make the Varsity team next season!

“I’d been playing for over a year and discovered I wasn’t improving. I contacted Michael and in our very first session, he pointed out the reasons why in detailed slow motion videos of my shots - flaws in my technique. He explained in detail what needs to change and outlined a practice strategy that I could do on my own time. I’m now beating players who once beat me easily…”
