The first lesson with Paul was everything I expected and more. His guidance, corrections, and explanations were easy to understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions through our first lesson. I can tell he would be a great coach to continue building my skills with and provide the right guidance towards my playing goals. I’m looking forward to continuing my lessons with him and to put into practice the great foundation he has already taught me. I would highly recommend Paul as your pickleball coach!

Having taken a lesson with Paul, I’d say the experience was quite good. Though not overly enthusiastic, I think the focus on fundamentals really helped clarify my technique. I feel reasonably confident I’ll improve with time. Still, some more tailored drills would be welcome in future lessons. Anyway, if you’re looking to refine your skills without any fluff, Paul’s worth considering.

My lesson with Paul was great! He explained everything in detail.. my most favorite was explaining of body mechanics (hand movements , foot positioning , best positioning for paddles) Which help me out a lot. Still a beginner at pickle ball, took lessons in past, unfortunately wasn’t taught this. FYI this was my first lesson with Paul and happy to learn so much.
