Scott is a great instructor. I told him what I wanted to improve, and he quickly put together a challenging but great lesson to target those areas. Not only did he help me improve key details, he also emphasized the small things that are easy to overlook, which made a difference for me. I’m looking forward to continuing to work with Scott

Let me start off by saying I have had lessons previously by other coaches who charged more but didn't help me with the things I actually needed help with. Scott takes an innovative, hands on approach in really getting to know his clients by watching and playing with them in real time. Through video, hands on explanation, and drilling, Scott has molded me into a player that can compete with anyone! Scott understands the game in a way few others I have met see it; combined with his easy going personality, Scott shows how much he cares about his clients succeeding. Scott has already transformed me into a much better player then I had ever expected and continues to teach me more every lesson I have. I highly recommend him for anyone at any level.

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonAnalysis and Information Dense. In an hour, 90 min, or 2 hours, we will get to know each other's backgrounds, goals, and desired intentions moving forward as we build a relationship practicing and learning together. We will visit each area of the court, test a little bit of game knowledge, test a little bit of body knowledge, and from there we will develop lesson plans for individual skills, team skills, and mental skills and strategies.

Lesson 11+We can discuss how the game evolved and changes. We can challenge all your skills and creativity and we can hold events, businesses, teach you how to teach as a side hustle, and compete and travel!. The majority of my students that continue to take lessons with me over the years believe in me, support me, enjoy learning and exploring the sport with me, and want to see different styles of hitting. I have a unique and different perspective on pickleball as a Martial Art so there's novel value to having me as a coach consistently or a coach in rotation. I also refer and invite other coaches to my lessons that I believe may help certain students and their unique styles and body types since I am only a 5'9 male 177cm

Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 will depend on progress from 1 and 2 and 3. Each lesson will always be similar to previous lessons of the same time and will always be slightly altered, difficulty adjusted to progression, and designed to be exciting with the number of people involved. The student will have the option of individual, duo, or group lessons to focus on what they want to focus on. If the student wants to default to my suggestion, I will default to my drill/routine of the day which changes daily and weekly repeating monthly so no skills are neglected and all skills are Sharpened, maintained, and built up upon.

Lesson 2-3Individual lessons will focus on building a routine, declaring focus and goals, building habits for movement, and a healthy warm up, exercise focus, and cool down. We will go through basic shots forms and simple options. Group lessons of 2+ will emphasize mental skills, team movement skills, communication skills, basic set up and formation, and basic court positioning. Working together and understanding each other and ourselves will lead us to solve many problems on the court and in life.

Advanced training plan

Lesson 2-3What do you want to learn?

Youth players

Working with kidsLet them take their due diligence seriously Less explanation, more games. More simples rules. More rewards. Simple words. Kid play and kid acting with a high sense of positivity moral supportive energy. Develop brain thinking and having the ball do what they want it to do. Spur curiosity about what is possible with this sport and playing with others.

Working with teenagersReinforce their strength and improve the weak qualities Challenge their egos and grant them more confidence. Simple explanations. More demonstrations. More games. More fun challenges with small rewards. Demonstrate the potential for their futures in work and networking. Grant the girls more confidence in playing against the guys. Feel better about their image and fitness and teamwork. Grand the guys more self-assurance and confidence in making correct decisions and helping each other and their team. Lots and lots of mini games.

What you need to bringBring whatever you want that supports healthy play such as fitness clothes, hydration liquids, court shoes, your smile, positive fun attitude, excitement, negative energy you want to put into the ball, anything you have really, bring a friend too why not.
