Unbeknownst to me, he was also watching me play and I was making so many unforced errors. When he was done with his lesson, he came over to my court and stood next to me and explained how I should be holding my paddle and the positioning of my feet in anticipation of my opponent's shot. It made such a huge difference that I work with him once a week now and my game has gotten so incredibly better! > From Brianna, 5 out of 5 > Thank you so much Bob for helping me get rid of my shanks! I struggled for months not being able to land my serve. Bob watched me serve and made two quick fixes that solved everything! It was the positioning of my feet and the angle of my paddle when making contact with the ball. I also now remember to keep my head down and watch the ball make contact with my paddle before lifting my head and moving. He is the absolute best!!!! > From Noah, 5 out of 5 > I asked Bob to help me get more conditioned so I can survive a longer/intense match and boy did he ever. He is incredibly fit himself and he has helped me not get so gassed during a match by doing endless drills, stances, using my arm and not my shoulder when hitting with my paddle and being able to avoid being fatigued midway through a match. He is not only a good pickleball coach, but a trainer! > From Colet, 5 out of 5 > I wanted to work with Bob because he has been a college professor for over twenty years - this helps soooooo much when he is teaching pickleball as us "seniors" have a tendancy to forget things unless we are told them four different times. lol. He is patient, understanding, competitive and truly wants to see the students he is teaching on the pickleball courts be the best they can be > From Laura, 5 out of 5 > I have been to several different "intro" and "intermediate" pickleball classes and clinics and Bob's one-on-one instruction surpasses all of them. He has his own drills that he has created that actually help when playing a game. My favorite game was "protect you castle" when an opponent tried to knock off a pickleball from a small cone located by my feet at the kitchen line > From Chris, 5 out of 5 > I am/was a long-time tennis player so converting to pickleball was easy, or so I thought. Bob explained to me the difference in hand positioning, paddle position, game analysis and helped me get rid of all the habits from tennis that don't serve me well in pickleball. For all of those tennis players out there who want to learn on how to properly play pickleball, get Bob! > From George, 5 out of 5 > What stood out most was how clearly Robert explained everything, making the lesson easy to follow and enjoyable. The session really helped me get a better grasp of pickleball fundamentals. If you want to improve your game with a skilled trainer, Robert’s lessons are definitely worth trying out. You’ll enjoy the clear guidance and supportive pace. 🙂 > From Qader, 5 out of 5 > Bob is so incredibly knowledgeable about the game of pickleball. I came in as a semi-intermediate player and he taught me much more than how to properly hit the ball - he taught me about game strategy, tempo and how to be mentally focused during an entire match. He is awesome! > From Savannah, 5 out of 5 ## Book - [Book on TeachMe.To](https://staging.teachme.to/listings/pickleball/pickleball-with-robert-lattas): Pick a pack, a time, and a location, then pay. - [This coach in the agent API](https://staging-api.teachme.to/agent/v1/coaches/eec12fe5-0110-4e3b-a510-a90feb1fd9e6): 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.
