Tako is a true professional if you're looking to take your pickleball game to the next level. The value and feedback he provides are priceless—he truly wants you to succeed. I compete in many tournaments, and I always seek Tako's feedback because he's always willing to help. He genuinely cares about you as both a player and a person. Whether you're just starting out or aiming to improve your game, Tako is the best coach you could ask for. Thank you, Tako!

Have taken multiple sessions with Tako now and have developed skills to help me jump from 3.5 to 4.0+ very quickly. His drills are very effective to help with on court situations and he has a strong ability to identify opportunities to improve your form, position, shot selection, and placement.

Tako is extremely patient when teaching me strategies of pickleball. He is very knowledgeable about the game, and can flex his communication styles when talking to beginners or advanced players of the sport. Highly recommend him!
