Our methods

Strategy

Come into every point knowing what to do. How you will move with your partner. What to do in certain situations and how to adapt.

Positioning

Put yourself in the correct position to be in front of the ball rather than reach to the ball. This puts maximum pressure on your opponent, taking away your pressure.

Technique

Learn the proper technique for each shot, the higher percentage shots, proper movement, and reduce your swing to be more compact.

Biomechanics

Learn better body mechanics to reduce injuries, increase power, and increase safety on the court.

Success Stories

Karyssa L.

Brett has been my Pickleball coach for three years. In a matter of months I gained control of the ball, learned better placement, and adjusted how I moved to competently cover the court. Brett would examine my game and then give examples for how to improve weaknesses. He allowed me to explore different ways to complete shots without telling me it had to be done in a certain manner. His coaching style is exactly what I needed: fun, relaxed, but structured.

I have been training with Brett for over a year now. Most of our time has been correcting bad habits I created before we met. Brett has an ability to identify problematic behavior and the skill set to suggest solutions to improve my game. He is very patient, knowledgeable and worth every hour we spend together.

Flavio M.

Brett is an amazing coach and person, and a pleasure to be around on the court. I am so incredibly happy with the opportunity I had to play against him. Ever since we played together, I have seen that what he thought me in match play has reflected in the results that I have seen in my own game. I thoroughly enjoy each the lesson I had with him. Since then, I have always felt like I am continuing to improve both my technique and strategy, while actively implementing the work that I did with him in practice during my match play.

Kathryn L.

Brett was my coach for two years before I moved out of California. He is extremely talented, patient and has a natural ability to teach. I greatly enjoyed drilling, as I found my game improved fastest that way. It wasn’t long before I was able to confidently step onto a court with any player, whether a beginner or pro. I am extremely grateful for the motivation, encouragement and skills I developed with Brett as my coach and I’m thankful that my daughter can continue to learn from him.
