"Hereâs a polished review you can use: Brent is an outstanding pickleball instructor who quickly identifies the root cause of your mistakes and explains them in a way thatâs easy to understand and apply. In just one session, he helped me improve my drives by focusing on proper footwork, balance, and weight transfer instead of relying only on my arms for power. He emphasizes staying relaxed and generating power from the legs, hips, and shoulders, which made a huge difference in my consistency and control.

I start by understanding the playerâs current level, strengths, goals, and pain points. We run through some live hitting, serve/return, third shot drops, dinks, and transition play to assess movement and shot selection. From there, I tailor a game plan specific to the playerâs needsâwhether itâs footwork, shot precision, or strategy.
