Teaching Philosophy:
I believe in learning the right basics from the beginning to get you off to a good start. Everything from proper stretching, safety, how you hold a racket, having a good athletic stance, hitting the ball out in front, and leading from your shoulder when you dink.
There are numerous pickleball skills to become efficient at including having a good forehand, backhand, dinking and serving technique, as well as, blocking, punch shots, third shot drops, top spin, when to lob, overhead, proper foot movement, court positioning, team strategy, knowing how to anticipate a return shot, getting to and staying in the offensive position, to name a few. The best part of the game though is to enjoy the camaraderie, laugh often and have fun!
