Sometimes the advice you are getting is correct. Topics like scoring and the two bounce are usually pretty accurate.
Unfortunately, often the advice is wrong. Things like: rush to the NVZ on the 3rd shot, wait for the ball to bounce before stepping into the kitchen, or the forehand takes the shot in the middle. Not only is it bad advice, but it can limit your improvement.
How do we know?
First, we were in your shoes once and got the same bad advice.

My Coaching Background
I didn't come to coaching by accident. Ski racing taught me how to work hard at something and still love it, watching my mom the whole way. She's in her 80s, still skis multiple times a week, and spent 55 years on ski patrol. She's the reason I've never believed there's an age where you're supposed to stop getting better. Twenty-plus years as a golf professional, running clubs and coaching teams, taught me how to break a skill down so it actually sticks. Pickleball is where all of it came together.
If you're ready to feel more in control of your game, I'd love to be part of your journey.
