It was a great first lesson! Sean assessed my skills and addressed my issues transferring from tennis to pickleball. We performed drills. Sean not only explained the why, but showing me and breaking it down on the court was very helpful. Would absolutely suggest taking lessons to build good skills if you're just starting out or a former tennis player.
