I’m delighted to recommend Nic as a Pickleball coach. From the very first lesson, Nic helped me build not only my skills but also my confidence on the court. His teaching style is positive, patient, and incredibly supportive.
What really set Nic apart for me was his innovative approach to the game. He introduced techniques I would never have thought of on my own—and more importantly, he showed me how to incorporate them into my playing style in a practical, achievable way.
The part of our sessions that I enjoyed the most were the moments when we took the theory and brought it to life in active playing drills and games. These hands-on sessions were not only hugely helpful but also great fun, and they made the learning process feel natural and engaging.
If you’re looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and able to make every session enjoyable and effective, I really cannot recommend Nic highly enough. And on top of all of that he’s a really great bloke, as we Brits say.

Nic is a great instructor. He can diagnose what is wrong and offer a solution. He patiently goes over the new technique until it is learned. He is very patient and supportive.
