I really appreciated how we practiced alternating long and short shots. It gave me a clearer sense of how to vary my play, and I think I’ll be able to apply that during matches. Though, I’d like to keep practicing that technique a bit more to really make it second nature. Also, my serves are improving, and I’d love some additional tips to refine them further. Allen's approach is quite steady, and I’ve already noticed some positive changes in my game. Still, I hope to keep building on this progress in future lessons.

Allen is a great coach! Super knowledgeable, explains/models body mechanics so well that he helped me fix my serve after 6 months of bad habits. Only one lesson and he packed it with really helpful instructions on body/paddle position at the kitchen, driving shots, the importance of staying low, hitting behind the ball & more! His energy is motivating & his positivity is encouraging. I’ve had a few other coaches where I live a couple hours away and he’s the best of them all! Looking forward to my next lesson!!

I found the lesson helpful, especially drilling on common game shots and trying to control my shots more with a two-hand approach. Hitting with less force is still a challenge, and I appreciate that Allen focused on practical adjustments. More work on mid-court control and blocking hard shots at the kitchen line sounds promising for future lessons. I believe another lesson could really help refine my technique.

, I appreciated how we kept at it until I started to really get the hang of the shots. That was encouraging. I do think maybe trying to add a new shot, like blocking at the net, could be a good next step, along with working on serves. Still, overall, it’s been quite helpful to see steady progress. Allen’s approach makes me feel like I can actually improve with practice, which is a good sign.

I'm very happy with the lesson I had with Allen. His focus on repetition really helps solidify the strokes. That emphasis on building those memory tracks makes a noticeable difference in my progress. I'm looking forward to working on some other aspects in future lessons. If you're aiming to sharpen your skills with a steady approach, I think Allen is a good choice to get try.

A standout moment was playing as a four-some, which highlighted tactical errors we hadn’t worked on before. Allen’s approach really helped sharpen our game in new ways.

I loved how Allen trains me with the mindset of becoming a pro, even as a beginner. Working on 50 forehand and backhands gave me clear goals, and finishing the lesson with a singles game was a great way to apply what I learned. If you want focused and motivating pickleball training, Allen’s lessons are definitely worth trying! 👊

I can’t say enough about him. My game has improved Soooo Much !!! Allen keeps drilling me over-and-over until I get it, then again next lesson. I love how my body is getting the muscle memory so I don’t have to think so much, just react. I look forward to every lesson. I do a lesson twice a week now because I enjoy it so much

Allen was excellent for my first attempt at pickle ball. He really focused on proper foot work which at 70 yrs young I need to feel confident and prevent injury. He was so encouraging I can’t wait to get back out there!!! I hope he will let me book more lessons with him. I highly recommend him as a coach/teacher.
