"Charlotte's lesson was quite helpful. I appreciated her focus on specific techniques and how she tailored the instruction to my needs, highlighting the importance of proper footwork and shot mechanics. Though I think I could still improve on consistency, I’m optimistic about building on this foundation in future lessons and hope to see steady progress. If you're interested in precise, personalized coaching, I’d suggest giving Charlotte a try.

With a lifelong passion for racket sports, particularly tennis and ping pong, my journey took an exciting turn when I discovered pickleball five years ago. Captivated by the game's fast-paced action and strategic depth, I quickly immersed myself, drawing on my extensive racket sports background. Recognizing my talent, the founder of Revolin Sports invited me to play a tournament with him. Leveraging my experience in tennis teaching, I seamlessly transitioned into coaching pickleball, catering to a growing community of players making the switch. For the past two years, I've shared my expertise part-time at MVP, coaching both tennis and pickleball enthusiasts. Whether on the court or the gym, my goal is simple: to inspire and empower players of all levels to excel in their chosen racket sport, one swing at a time.

"After taking some lessons with Mark, I’m better ready to think about what I should do next instead of just swing. If you can get in to a drill or group lesson with Mark, you’ll learn even more. Whether you’re a tennis player looking to diversify or a pball player looking to improve, Mark’s lessons meet you where you are and are a good value. -Alice Daood

My love for Pickleball began in 2011, during a time when lessons were scarce. Upon moving to the west side of Michigan, I found coaches who helped me correct numerous bad habits. After extensive lessons and attending many camps, I began sharing my knowledge with others. I started formally giving lessons in 2017 and became a PPR certified coach in 2019.

"Game-Changer Inside 50 Yards!  If you want to shave strokes off your scorecard, you need to work with Daniel. He is an exceptional golf instructor with a knack for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, actionable feels.  Before working with him, my short game inside 50 yards was costing me countless shots. Daniel completely revolutionized my approach by introducing me to the bump-and-run. He adjusted my setup—getting my weight forward and narrowing my stance—and taught me how to read the green to pick the perfect landing spot rather than just aiming for the pin.  Thanks to his clear cues and patience, I’ve replaced high-risk, stressful flop shots with a dependable, controlled bump-and-run. My contact is cleaner, my distance control is dialed in, and my scoring inside 50 yards has drastically improved. If you want to transform your short game, Daniel is your guy!

I am currently a Varsity baseball coach at Godwin Heights high school in Grand Rapids Michigan. When I took over at Godwin they had not won a game in three years 0-62, since that time we are 18-59, the big difference is that we can now play any team in west Michigan and not embarrass ourselves. I help players unlock their baseball potential. My passion is cultivating confident athletes ready to excel on and off the field. Thank you David
