"Neeraj's lesson provided some useful tips on serving, which I appreciated honestly. Though there's still room to keep learning more, I found his approach quite straightforward and balanced. Still, I think focusing more on specific drills could help me improve further. If you're mildly interested in refining your pickleball serve, it might be worth giving Neeraj a try.

Golf has been a part of my life for more than 3 decades. As an avid junior golfer, I won a club championship, made all conference my sophomore - senior year in high school. I was a part of 2 regional championship teams as well as an 11th place and 7th place finish in high school state championships. From a young age it’s been my passion. Now that I’m in corporate America being able to use my talents to help win numerous charity benefits and raise money for many great causes has been more than fulfilling. I’ve seen the game evolve from wooden drivers and shot shaping course management to now teeing it high and letting it fly. One of the best benefits about golf is not only can you enjoy the game your entire life but you can find satisfaction in the game no matter your skill level. So if you're just a beginner looking to dip your toes in the water, or if you’ve been playing golf for a long time and feel like you’ve plateaued and you’ll never get better, or maybe you're just tired of letting your buddies get in your wallet. Whatever the skill level, whatever the reason, I want to help you achieve the satisfaction and enjoyment that golf has to offer.

Jamey
For over 30 years, tennis has been an integral part of my life, encompassing roles as a junior and adult player. Not only have I excelled in my personal tennis journey, but I've also passed on the love for the sport by teaching my own children, one of whom now thrives as a D1 player at the university level. Additionally, I've had the privilege of coaching young talents at various skill levels, from imparting the basics to nurturing competitive players. Tennis isn't just a game; it's a legacy I continue to build through teaching and mentoring the next generation.

"Tj's lesson focused on practicing forehand and backhand, which I appreciated since it helped reinforce my basics. Still, I think doing more of the same could be beneficial, maybe mixing in some variety later. But overall, it was quite helpful, and I’d suggest giving Tj a try if you're looking to refine fundamentals.
