I was able to learn how to top spin my serve and use my hips to generate more power, which is pretty helpful. Also, I finally understood what I was doing wrong when trying to volley at the kitchen line. Though I still feel like practicing those techniques more would be beneficial, I’m optimistic about my progress. If you’re looking to sharpen specific skills, it could be worth giving Rick’s lesson a shot. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > My lesson with Rick was quite helpful. He pointed out specific adjustments I could make, especially around my paddle positioning, which has already improved my control. Though I still need to work on my footwork, I feel like I gained some practical insights I can build on. Still, I’m looking forward to seeing how my game develops after more lessons. If you’re interested in sharpening your pickleball skills thoughtfully, Rick’s lesson is worth trying. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > Wow, I found the lesson quite helpful, especially in honing my form for serving and backhand. It really kept me engaged, and though I didn't ask for any specific improvements, I still feel like I gained some practical insight. Rick’s approach is pretty effective, and I think you’d get a lot out of trying a lesson with him if you're into steady progress and clear guidance. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > What stood out most to me was learning how to serve and play both near the kitchen and at the back of the court. Rick’s lesson covered key skills that really helped me improve my game. If you're curious about pickleball or want to sharpen your skills, I definitely recommend giving his coaching a try. It’s a great experience for all levels. 🙂 > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > I really benefited from working with Rick on my backhand swings. He had great control and was able to target the areas where I needed the most practice. The session felt well-paced and focused, making it easier to improve consistently. If you want to sharpen your skills with clear guidance, Rick’s lessons are definitely worth trying. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > I can’t believe it! I already improved in my first lesson. Considering that I have poor hand eye coordination, and and that I have very slow reaction time, I am happy to be able to hit the ball over the net several times in a row after getting instruction by Coach Rick. I can’t wait until my next lesson! Thanks Coach Rick!!! > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > I learned what I was doing wrong with the over hand returns. I worked a lot on my volleying and kitchen dinks. We even had time to work on my backhand serve from the back Court. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 > That lesson with Rick was pretty useful. I learned to correct my serving and volleying mid-air. I would like to continue the same focus to help solidify those skills. > From Angela, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-rick-silaphet): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/c833bb83-25d0-421e-9f26-9222b2a03592): 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.
