Playing a real game with Kevin was quite helpful, especially since I was feeling a bit unathletic today. Though, I think more consistency and confidence will come with time. The lesson highlighted how practically useful it is to apply skills directly in play, which I appreciated. I’ll probably need to work on that confidence aspect next, but Kevin’s approach is still pretty encouraging. Still, I’d suggest giving him a try if you want a steady, chill guide on the court.

Implementing the strategies Kevin shared has already made a noticeable difference in my play, especially with executing shots successfully. I’ll probably keep working on different tactics for singles and doubles and maybe ask him about that backhand overhead smash I’m curious about. Honestly, it’s encouraging to see how focused he is on helping players improve. If you're thinking about trying him out, I’d say definitely go for it!

Wow, Kevin’s lesson was quite fun, especially with how quickly I got ran off the court in just six minutes. Though I need to play smarter and respond faster at the kitchen, I feel like I gained some useful insights. It’s quite helpful to have those points for improvement, and I’m hoping to keep building on them. Still, I think anyone interested in pickleball should try Kevin’s lesson to see what they can pick up.

Lesson was awesome Greg was great! Not only did he know his stuff but he has the ability to communicate that knowledge in a way that is easy to understand so I could put it into action. We worked on backhands in all aspects. Drives, drops and dinks. Feel like i got better on all 3. Anyone who asks me about a pickleball coach, I would 100% send them Greg’s way.

What impressed me most was how Kevin broke down the challenging backhand flick into simple steps. Focusing on consistency with the basics really helps build a stronger game. If you want to sharpen your skills and learn practical techniques, Kevin’s lessons are definitely worth trying out. A great experience overall that keeps me motivated to improve.

Greg is a really skilled pickleball player and clearly enjoys teaching. His patience and knowledge made the lesson quite helpful. Though I'm still working on my skills, I felt the focus on technique was practical and easy to follow, and his enjoyment definitely encouraged me to keep practicing. Hope to see more progress in future lessons with him.

We went over skinny singles, drop & drive drills, and played a match together, which covered a lot of ground. I think focusing on those areas helped me see how to better implement skills in actual games. I’d like to get more consistent with some of the techniques learned and am excited to continue working with Kevin!

Playing singles was a good challenge, and forcing myself to work on my drops was quite helpful. Kevin's lesson gave me some useful techniques to practice on my own, and I appreciate the balanced approach he has and clear coaching style. He’s also always happy to answer questions and dive deeper into explanations.

That lesson with Gregory was quite good actually. He’s really knowledgeable and makes sure to focus on my weaknesses, which I appreciate. Still, I think I’ll benefit from continuing to work on the areas I find challenging, but overall, I feel pretty encouraged to keep improving.

Just had a great lesson with Kevin. He is a great instructor in that he listened to what I thought I needed work on, ran me through various drills, then he brought it all together with some mini games. Great teaching approach . I look forward to my other lessons with him.

Kevin’s lesson was extremely helpful for me. The skinny singles drill in alternating quadrants really highlighted some weak spots in my shot placement, which I hadn’t noticed before. Kevin is always patient with me though even on my less than ideal days.
