"The lesson with Carlos was quite helpful. I appreciated how the focus on footwork and shot consistency made a real difference for my game. Still, I think there's room for more drills that target my specific weaknesses, so I’m hoping future lessons will cover that. Honestly, it’s quite encouraging to have a coach who naturally understands the subtleties of pickleball and can point out areas for improvement without overloading me. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, measured approach, it might be worth giving Carlos a try.

"If you are looking for a tennis coach who treats the sport as a craft rather than a transaction, Sean is in a league of his own. I came to Sean with a unique background: a former ping-pong champion from China, raised in Germany, with a deep appreciation for technique but zero experience on a tennis court. From our first session, Sean didn't just give me "drills"; he asked for my goals. I told him I wanted to win the very tournament I had just finished spectating as a beginner. He Values Breakthroughs Over the Clock: In an era where sports like pickleball and tennis are becoming hyper-monetized and often unaffordable, Sean is a rare breed. We trained 2–3 times a week, and if we were on the verge of a technical breakthrough, he would blow right past the hour mark. He never looks at his watch, and he never charged me for that extra time. He cares more about the "lightbulb moment" than the invoice. He immediately identified how to translate my table tennis "gifts" to the big court. He provided me with a rigorous practice outline for my solo days, ensuring every minute I spent on the court was purposeful. After just 11 months of training, I entered that tournament at the 2.5 level and won the whole thing. It felt as rewarding as any trophy from my childhood. Sean even showed up to support me during the finals. When the crowd applauded him, he refused the credit, insisting he was just there for inspiration and that I did the work. The Ultimate Compliment The best testament to Sean’s coaching? By the end of the tournament, people who refused to hit with me months ago were accusing me of being a "sandbagger." It’s an irony we still laugh about—it wasn't that I was hiding my skill; it was simply that Sean’s coaching accelerated my growth at a rate that seemed impossible to outsiders. Sean isn't just a coach; he is a world-class teammate. Whether you are a total beginner or a seasoned athlete looking to pivot, he will help you find your "A-game" and then some.
