Oh, the lesson with James was quite good, honestly. I appreciated the focus on tactics, which really helped me rethink some strategies on the court. Though, I still feel like I could use more practice, but I did leave with a clearer understanding of how to approach my game more thoughtfully. It's encouraging to see that James's teaching style makes the learning process quite engaging without feeling rushed, which is pretty important to me. Anyway, if you're considering taking a lesson, James might be worth trying out.

I loved the constructive feedback and the patience James showed during the lesson. His encouragement made the class very welcoming and enjoyable. If you’re thinking about improving your pickleball game, I definitely recommend giving James’s lessons a try. It’s a great way to learn and have fun on the court! 😊
