He takes the time to understand what you want to improve and builds each lesson around helping you feel more confident on the court. Even though I was brand new to pickleball, he made it fun from the very beginning. He breaks down techniques in a way that’s easy to understand, and he gives just the right amount of feedback - enough to help me improve without ever making me feel overwhelmed. What I appreciate most is how he… > From Rainbow, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite focused on working on the smash, which was helpful. Although I need to fine-tune the mechanics of overhead slams, the emphasis on footwork and proper body position really helped me understand what to work on. I feel like there's room for more technical work, but I’m optimistic about what I can improve with time. We also worked on forehand dinking. Michael really helped me with my footwork, which immediately made me stop popping up dinks. If you’re looking to get a solid grasp of smashing and dinking, Michael is definitely the person to work with. > From Saadi, 5 out of 5 > Honestly, I was pretty impressed with how Michael broke down some of the key pickleball techniques during the lesson. He’s got a way of explaining things that makes it easier to pick up, like his focus on stance and shot placement really stood out. Though I still have a lot to work on, I feel more confident about my next game. Still, I think a bit more emphasis on footwork could make the lessons even better. But yeah, I’ll probably try another lesson soon and see how much I can improve. > From Jean, 5 out of 5 > The drills we did this lesson really covered a lot, like working on my third shot drops and drives, resets, dinks and smashes, and proper footwork, which was pretty helpful. Though I need to fine-tune my game and figure out when to be aggressive with the opportunities I am creating, I left with some good insights and a better overall feel. Michael’s approach is very steady, pointing out issues he sees that I can correct right away and see immediate impact. Great fun session > From Saadi, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite thorough, he gave a clear overview of how to hit different shots correctly, which I appreciated. Still, I think practicing dinking and shots from the kitchen line could really help me improve further. Though the experience felt really balanced, I definitely look forward to applying what I learned and hopefully building on it with more practice. Still, if you’re into sharpening your pickleball skills, Michael’s a solid choice to try out. > From Julia, 5 out of 5 > Michael's lesson was quite helpful, especially in highlighting the importance of positioning and shot consistency. Though I still have room to improve, I appreciated how he broke down some key techniques to focus on later. Still, I think a few more lessons could really help cement what I learned and boost my confidence on the court. Hey, if you’re looking for a balanced approach to get better at pickleball, it might be worth trying out a lesson with him. > From Yi, 5 out of 5 > The lesson was quite helpful, especially in understanding some of the finer points of pickleball technique. Michael's approach was straightforward and practical, which I appreciated. Still, there's always room for deepening my skills, so I hope to build on what I learned in future lessons. Maybe next time we could focus more on footwork drills. If you're looking for someone who guides you with clear insights, I think Michael's worth trying. > From Yi, 5 out of 5 > The lesson with Michael was quite enjoyable and really helped me get a better grasp on some fundamental techniques, plus he managed to give individual attention despite the group size.
