“I have taken pickleball lessons from six different pickleball coaches. Erik is by far the best coach I have had. In addition to teaching correct pickleball techniques, he has the ability to watch me play and then helps me correct and improve. He is also excellent at coaching partners, especially teaching how to know whose ball it is and the correct shot to use. My game has improved significantly. I highly recommend him.”

“I love how Erik can analyze your game, then teach you what you need to do. He is so good at it. He is my favorite teacher.”

– Klyn Haskell (Centerville, UT)

“Erik’s greatest talent as a professional pickleball coach is to break down the basic elements of competitive pickleball. I look to Erik to make subtle corrections in my game versus overhauling it totally. ”

– Whitey Anson (Alpine, UT)

“Erik has taught us much as we have begun our journey into the world of pickleball.  Although we knew the basics, he has coached us through more of the finer points of play and strategy.  His style is quite technical and he is patient and kind.  With his many years of pickleball experience, he has been able to see our individual needs and help us make major improvements to our games.”

-Carol and Stan Hayden (Alpine, UT)

“I started training with Erik when I was a brand new pickleball player.  He first taught me fundamentals and correct technique.  I'm pretty sure I wondered when we would stop dinking (I now know never!). He has helped me develop physically and mentally into the player I am today.  His positive feedback and his ability to find the specific weaknesses in my game has helped me develop quickly.  I enjoy the time I get to spend with him training and will continue to train with him to keep reaching for the next level.  He truly is the best!”

-Traci Harward (Farmington, UT)

“Erik will teach you the fundamentals but after that he isn't a “fit you into HIS mold“ instructor. He will work with your strengths and abilities and motivate you to elevate your game.”

-Michele Nay (Farmington, UT)

“Erik really knows the game of pickleball. He knows if you are pulled out wide, you have to come back to center by planting that outside foot. Whether it's chasing down a lob or whether it's staying calm during a point, he analyzes your game and helps you improve!  He knows the game, he knows the proper techniques, he knows what the fundamentals are to help you develop into an advanced player. He makes lessons fun and enjoyable! Skinny singles at the end of the lesson is always my favorite part!!”

-Lorraine Rupper (Pleasant Grove, UT)

I have been very fortunate to be able to get lessons from a lot of different  coaches/players instate and in California! Erik - you are one of the top coaches I have ever had!! I like how you've taken my game and have made it SO much better I am definitely a better player because of you!! Still to this day I think in my mind ..stay low ....leverage...Thank you for you positive feedback!  Your drills are new and  fun ! You ran me ragged! 

-Lyn Donovan (Ogden, UT)

I took lessons from Erik when I first started playing Pickleball.  He showed me the correct form, propelling execution, and strategy during a game.  He also made me a "killer" at the net.  He upped my game.  I am so happy to have heard about Erik from a friend and was smart enough to call him for lessons.  I loved the private one on one lessons.

-Nancy Schreiver (St. George, UT)

I was referred to Erik by a friend to take some lessons -  I'm glad I did.  Erik was just what I needed in order to improve my game.  The thing that impressed me the most about Erik is his ability to analyze my technique and make the changes needed to make me a better player.   I would never be where I'm at today without having taken lessons from him.  Erik is the best!!

- Joel Huebner (American Fork, UT)

Erik is a great pickleball instructor.  He watches you play, then finds a couple of areas in which you can focus on and improve right away.  If you listen, implement his ideas and corrections, your game improves tremendously!  Not only does he analyze your game but he gives you drills in which to use to reinforce the pickleball concepts he teaches you.  He is patient, professional and really knows and understands the game of pickleball.  I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone wanting to improve their game.
