Jerry’s coaching philosophy:
- Have fun
- It is never too late to learn
- Enjoy the process of improving
- Set goals and work hard to achieve your goals
- Never stop growing, never stop learning
- Finally, there are many ways to play pickleball. There is no (exact, correct) technique that applies to everyone. There are fundamental basics that will allow a player to improve. Once they have a firm grasp of these basics, a player needs to further develop their individual game with their unique style and strengths
