He is a knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging coach who takes the time to understand my skill level and areas where I need improvement. Since working with him, I’ve noticed a big improvement in my game, especially with my technique, consistency, shot selection, and confidence on the court. What I appreciate most is that Charenz doesn’t just teach you how to hit the ball he explains the strategy and the “why” behind each shot, which has helped me understand the game much better. He cre… > From Charisse, 5 out of 5 > Charenz is a great coach because he is a great player. Although he can hit every shot, what makes him formidable on the court is his ability to recognize patterns and use those to his strengths. He can adjust at a moments notice and adapt to any play style. As a coach, he is able to focus not just on technique, but how players understand the game, and use not only technique and mechanics, but mental skills to play winning and intentional pickleball. I highly recommend Charenz to those who are trying to grow their pickleball game. But be prepared, you will improve and you may need to find stro… > From Bruce, 5 out of 5 > Charenz is a great instructor. He really understands the mechanics of the game and was able to assess what my needs are. He gives constructive feedbacks and explanations that are not overwhelming. He shows his passion with this game. And I appreciate all the pointers that he gives to be a better pickleball player. I also like the written handouts that he provided for additional learning that I can browse during free time. I have learned so much from his lessons! > From Hazel, 5 out of 5 > Absolutely fantastic coaching! Charenz brings so much energy, knowledge, and positivity to every session. He spots the small details that make a big difference - grip, footwork, shot selection - and helps me correct them without ever feeling overwhelmed. I am playing smarter, faster, and with way more confidence now. Thanks to Charenz! I highly recommend Charenz for players at any level who wants to level up their game.😃 > From Claire, 5 out of 5 > Charenz is great at analyzing how you move and can easily tell you what to improve, what to keep doing, and what to perfect. I’ve only had lessons with him online, so I had to send him videos of me playing, and from there, he knew how to help. He is really a good player, so you know he is very dedicated to this work, that is helping you also do the best you can in pickleball! He’s got awesome vibes as a coach too! > From Karla, 5 out of 5 ## Frequently asked questions ### Do you provide equipment? Yes. I got all the material we need, except your paddle.
