A few years ago, I was introduced to pickleball and found it to be an enjoyable pastime. With a background in ping pong, I noticed many transferable techniques, which made the transition smooth. Over the past year, my passion for the sport has grown immensely; I play weekly and have had success in local tournaments, consistently placing in the top three. Currently at a 4.0 skill level, I’m eager to share my love for pickleball by teaching others. Although I haven’t coached before, I take pride in my patient gameplay and focus on refining technique, believing that both technique and power are essential for improvement.
"Taylor is wise beyond his years. He is very cordial and easy to talk to, while encouraging at the same time. Thank you Taylor!
I'm an ambassador for Six Zero Pickleball and currently a 4.5 DUPR rated player. My tennis, ping pong, and badminton backgrounds have helped me transition into pickleball rather easily. (I guess it's a "racquet sports" thing) I primarily play at Plummer Family Park in Edwardsville, IL and the Rally Club indoor facility in Glen Carbon, IL where I'm a member. I also play in a handful of tournaments each year where I've been fortunate enough to typically medal in those tournaments. I enjoy helping people at all levels understand the basic fundamentals of pickleball, explaining strategies and tactics, as well as discussing the pros and cons of different types of equipment you should be using (paddles, shoes, sunglasses, etc).
"Oh, I’d say the lesson was quite helpful, especially with some specific techniques I hadn’t considered before. Curt has a way of explaining details that stick without feeling overwhelming, which I appreciated. Though I still have some areas to improve, I’m feeling optimistic about practicing what I picked up. Still, I’m definitely open to trying another lesson with Curt in the future.

"My friends started playing pickleball a while ago but I was injured at that time. I decided to take some lessons to gain basic knowledge of pickleball and get to a beginner level. It helped me a lot because Michael teaches everything with attention to detail and makes it easy to understand.
