Josue Marin profile
About Josue

In just over a year of playing, I proudly reached a 4.0 rating in pickleball. My journey showcases not only my dedication but also my quick grasp of the game's nuances. I'm eager to share this passion with you, making our time on the court both enjoyable and instructional as we delve into the world of pickleball together.

What students say...

"That lesson was quite helpful, especially working on drop shots and corners, definitely a step forward for my game. Josue's focus on simulating a real 1:1 match gave me useful practice, and I’m hopeful to build on that. Still, I think I’ll need more time to master those tricky corners and drop shots, but I appreciate the tailored approach he took. If you’re looking to sharpen specific skills, I’d suggest giving Josue a try.

About Suzanne

4.0 level player. Love pickleball and love teaching! Former tennis player (still play here and there). Never thought I would love anything more than tennis, but here we are! Would be my pleasure to teach you how to play pickleball and answer any questions you might have!

What students say...

"Suzanne's lesson was quite good, especially her top notch instruction which really stood out. She explained the fundamentals clearly, and I felt more confident after the lesson though I still have room to improve. Still, it's encouraging and I think trying another lesson could be helpful to refine my skills further.

The lesson with Josue was quite helpful, especially the way he broke down basic pickleball techniques to make them easier to grasp. Though I need to work on my footwork, I think his approach provided a good foundation, and I’m feeling more confident about my next steps on the court. Focusing on specific skills really stood out. Still, I look forward to practicing more because I believe I can improve further. If you're tentative about starting out, Josue might be a solid choice to help build your skill set.

Suzanne is quite good at breaking down different parts of the game and explaining them in a way that makes sense, especially because she takes her time giving specific tips for improvement. Still, I’d like to see a bit more of the same in future lessons. Overall, her approach really helped me understand what I need to work on. If you’re looking for a thoughtful coach who explains things clearly, Suzanne might be worth trying out.
