Todd is an excellent and insightful coach who uses methods tailored for quick understanding. In my first (free!) lesson with Todd, I gained techniques that I could apply immediately, as well as initial groundwork for more advanced shots. I look forward to more lessons and am excited to see what progress I can make with his help!

I had my first lesson with Mojo today. I learned a lot about all aspects of the game. One in particular was serving. My serve has been weak and I’ve tried different techniques, but I couldn’t figure out how to get a strong serve. Mojo gave me two suggestions and immediately my serve improved. I got home and was so excited about what Mojo taught me that I practiced my serve over and over again until I was exhausted. If he can fix my serve that easily, I’m excited to see what else I can learn from him!

Had my first lesson with Mojo today. He is great at making you understand the reasoning and strategy behind everything you learn. In one lesson I took away at least 5 fundamental changes I want to work on. He takes his time making sure you understand, offers great visuals to help, has a good sense of humor, reminds you that saying positive thoughts about your game leads to a better quality of play. Overall I highly recommend him. Also the fact the first lesson is free is a testament to his love of teaching the game.

Two friends and I had a great lesson with Mojo today! I think I am now re-programming myself to think like a PB player instead of a tennis player. He is observant (quickly saw my dysfunctional backhand) and funny and makes you laugh at yourself and have fun learning. Want to try this again soon. Thanks so much, MOJO!

My first lesson was a very fun and informative experience. I learned things that immediately improved my forehand drive, my serve and attacking the ball at the net. The insights gained during game play were particularly useful. I look forward to more lessons and seeing how far I can go. (3.0 player)

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Mojo. He clearly demonstrated new techniques I could utilize to improve several aspects of my game and showed me how those improvements would directly impact play. His approach to teaching not just the mechanics but also game strategies is very helpful in taking your game to a new level. I am confident his help will lead to my enjoying the game more. His timely responsiveness when setting up my lesson was greatly appreciated. I look forward to my next lesson!

My husband and I had never played a single minute of pickleball until meeting Mojo, he was so helpful and fun to learn from. He is all about the love of the game and spreading that love by getting others to enjoy it…Mojo was super informative and encouraging….What do u have to loose w/a free first lesson? Better yet, there is an entire community to GAIN from it!
