My partner and I appreciate Jim’s energetic coaching. We look forward to our lessons. Our playing has improved in the short time we’ve been coached by Jim.

Jim's lesson was pretty helpful, especially because he emphasized persistence which I think is key, even when my son felt tired. His control over the instruction was quite steady, and I appreciated how he managed to keep things focused. Though there's still room for us to improve control, I’m hopeful that with more practice we'll see progress. Still, Jim's approach was quite down-to-earth and realistically paced, worth trying if you're looking for someone who understands the game well.

I loved how Jim tailored the lesson to focus on my strengths and areas for improvement. We covered all aspects of the game, setting a strong foundation for future lessons. I already felt better after the first session and can’t wait to keep improving. If you want to boost your pickleball skills, Jim’s lessons are definitely worth trying! 👏

Jim’s ability to push me and give feedback at each step really stood out, and I’m quite satisfied with how that helped improve my pickleball game. Though I still need to work on my net skills, I’m hopeful the next lesson will build on that. Still, this lesson definitely highlighted Jim’s attentive coaching style, which made the experience engaging enough to keep me motivated. If you're looking for someone who thoughtfully guides you through your progress, Jim’s definitely worth trying.

That lesson with Jim was quite helpful. I particularly liked learning the new serve and return, which I’m planning to practice this week. Though I didn't focus much on backhand, which was fine, I appreciated the balanced approach he took. I still need to work on when to come up or stay back, and developing some curve and spin on my serves and returns would be good. Still, it feels like a solid foundation to build on, and I might give Jim another try soon.
