Harrison's way of explaining things is quite clear, though I still find myself struggling to remember all of it during play. Still, the lesson highlighted some useful strategies, and I appreciate the calm and helpful approach he maintains. Though I think I need more practice on some of the techniques Harrison pointed out, I’m optimistic about applying what I’ve learned in future lessons. If you're looking to improve certain aspects of your pickleball game, especially with a balanced teaching style, maybe give Harrison a try.

The lesson with Harrison was quite helpful, especially in terms of refining my shot placement and court movement, which I hadn't expected to improve so noticeably. Still, I think a few more drills focused on my backhand would be beneficial. Though, I plan to keep working on those areas and look forward to more lessons down the line. If you're after a coach who clearly knows the game but maintains a relaxed pace, Harrison might be worth trying.

I’ve had three lessons so far, and I can already see noticeable improvement in my game! Harrison is super patient and kind, always open to focusing on the specific areas I want to work on. He also makes great technical observations and gives clear, strategic feedback that really helps me understand how to play smarter. Lessons are both challenging and fun—I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their pickleball game!

Getting my skills assessed during the lesson really helped me see what I need to work on, especially improving my dinks. Though I’m still ironing out some technique, Harrison's feedback was pretty helpful, and I’d say I’m feeling more confident about my game now. Still, I look forward to refining those softer shots even more in future lessons. If you're interested, I’d suggest giving Harrison a try.

The lesson focused quite a bit on positioning and movement, which really helped me understand how to stay aligned during plays. Though I still need to refine my footwork, I feel more confident returning shots now. Honestly, Harrison’s approach makes the technical parts more approachable, so I think it’s worth trying him out if you want to improve your overall court awareness.

Honestly, I really appreciated how Gianmarco focused on specific pickleball strategies during the lesson, which helped me better understand shot placement and movement. Still, I think I could use a bit more work on my dink but I’m hopeful the next lesson will clarify that. If you’re into pickleball and want to improve, I’d say it’s worth giving him a try.

That lesson with Harrison really clarified some footwork details for me, which was pretty helpful.
