Exclusive Benefits
“I am writing to tell you that I just watched your “Teaching Pickleball to Beginners” video.
This is the best video you have ever done!! I might say it is the single best pickleball video I have watched (and I have watched hundreds of hours from the various coaches out there).
I teach using your methods and drills and about two months ago I was going to write and ask for something like this and also ask that you make a video(s) around doubles strategy. Seems everyone wants to help with HOW to hit a ball, but most never talk about strategy, or as I do now, talk about the WHY - not just the how-to my upper-intermediate/advanced players.”
