"Marty is my "go to guy" for one on one coaching! I first signed up for clinics with Marty and really liked the way he worked with everyone in the group. I always came away knowing he was watching my progress and not just another face in the group. I also enjoy the 3+pro opportunities that afford greater interaction so he can assess your play. It is always fun and feels great to get into an actual game which helps me absorb the instruction. The one on one concentration makes a huge difference with the dedicated time and drilling. Marty is a positive influence and my take away is always 1)my progress since the last time and 2)areas to strengthen.

Janos
I've played competitive pickleball for 2 years and I regularly play in 5.0 tournaments and cash games, some of which I have won. My playing philosophy centers around strong defense, consistency, and capitalizing on your opponents’ mistakes. I’m also a big advocate of recording your own games. Watching your play back is one of the fastest ways to identify patterns, correct mistakes, and make meaningful progress. If you’re ready to build a smarter, more consistent game, I’d love to work with you.
"I used to be way too slow coming to the net, nervous in the transition zone. After learning when to attack and practicing reset drills, I’m now much more comfortable and confident moving up.
