What students say about Jeff

I have had the pleasure of knowing Jeff since 2014, when we met at the Resilience Center in Aurora, CO. The center was established to support Columbine survivors and anyone else who needed help navigating difficult times in their lives. Jeff was teaching a class on mindfulness and the Four Agreements. He emphasized the importance of staying in the present moment as a way to cope with everything happening around us and in our lives. The Four Agreements is a book that offers a practical code of conduct, helping people eliminate unnecessary suffering and discover personal freedom, true happiness, and love. Jeff was passionate about teaching and genuinely wanted to help everyone who attended his class. He engaged us in discussions and activities to illustrate the significance of being present. To this day, I apply the Four Agreements that he taught in that class to my life. Recently, I had the opportunity to take a pickleball class with Jeff. What I appreciated most was how he continued to encourage us to be present with every shot. Once a play was completed, he urged us to reset and return to the present moment. I have observed that in every endeavor Jeff undertakes, he gives it his all. His goal is to ensure that participants leave his class not only with improved pickleball skills but also with lessons they can apply in their everyday lives. Debbie Fitzgerald

Here's a warm, personal review for Jeff: --- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My sister and I had next to zero pickleball experience when we booked a session with Jeff, and we walked away ready for our first league game. He covered everything we needed to get started — serves, stances, basic rules, and best practices — and managed to make it all feel approachable and fun. What stood out most was how thorough he was without ever making us feel like we were in a lecture. He met us right where we were, kept the energy light, and made sure we actually understood what we were doing and why. By the end of the session, we weren't just going through the motions — we felt like we had a real foundation to build on. If you're a beginner looking for a coach who's patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely nice, Jeff is your guy.
