She is an excellent diagnostician who can break down specific skills into bite size, consumable steps. She meets you where you are - gives you just the right amount of feedback, not to much so you didn't feel overwhelmed, and not to little so you definitely feel like you're getting your money's worth! She is always positive and will try various different teaching methods so that you successfully master the skill. You will definitely play better after working with Michele. Highly recommend! > From Laurie, 5 out of 5 > My family wanted to learn how to play. My two girls 12 &14 were hitting the ball around in our driveway but didn’t know all of the rules of the game. I set up a group lesson with Michele and she taught my 2 girls and my husband while I watched. We learned how to hold the paddle, proper swing mechanics and the rules while doing fun drills and games. Michele gave clear instructions and demonstrations that made it easy and enjoyable. > From Julie, 5 out of 5 > Michele is an outstanding pickleball coach and instructor. I've taken lessons with her several times and felt the improvement immediately on the court. She is a terrific diagnostician who can help you refund your skills and technique, while meeting you where you're at. She is always encouraging, positive and constructive but doesn't overwhelm with too many refinements at once. Michele is a gem. > From Laurie, 5 out of 5 > Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. She’s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend. > From Jenny, 5 out of 5 > I have not played much pickleball, but Michele didn't hold that against me.
