Teaching Philosophy:
I've played competitive tennis and racquetball for most of my life. When I was introduced to Pickleball I was amazed at the fun I was having on the court! I impart fun to my instruction. After all, we learn and play better when we are having fun!
I believe in "real-time" feedback to immediately correct both technique and strategy.
I build on a player's strength and previous sports background, while identifying and improving players' areas of weakness.
I believe drilling is extremely important to solidify learned techniques, so I provide students with a drill plan to implement after instruction.
I believe techniques developed and mastered must be introduced to our actual games.
Skills with no strategy are less effective.
I believe in customizing lesson plans for individuals/groups that are targeting certain aspects of their game, e.g. 3rd Shot Drops/Drives, Transitioning Skills, Top Spin/Slices, Spin serves, Blocking and Resetting Bangers, etc. Specialty Shots are fun to learn too! ATP's, Ernes, "Tweeners", etc... They don't always win tournaments, but they do sell tickets!!
