Student Experiences
Matti Eggerman
(Matti went from a 3.5 to high 4.0 in two months, 16 years old), written by Scott Eggerman.
"Towards the end of last summer, my daughter Matti and a friend of hers took private lessons from Austin Gridley. Matti and her friend were already good pickleball players but needed to work on their slow game with a focus on dinking and drops. We told Austin that we wanted the girls to get more comfortable and confident with their game in which Austin delivered. He worked not only on their technique but also the mental aspect of the game. I would say the girls took lessons from Austin once a week for about two months, up until school started, and their game has definitely improved more than the 0.5 that was promised."

"Austin has coached me in pickleball about five times. I am a 3.0 player that athletics doesn't come easily to. He has been helping me get my return of serve back. Also he works with me on my dinking. I'm learning to control the ball better. Austin is patient and knowledgeable. He has improved my game and made my play more fun." ---Cathi Gridley
