Testimonials

"Though I live in Chicago and Jasna lives in California, I have been extremely lucky that my job has been taking me to the Bay Area the last few years and given me the opportunity to work with Jasna. Jasna is an amazing coach. Even when we play games for fun, she is always focused on helping others improve their games and she truly enjoys their improvements. She is very quick to see player's strengths and opportunities for improvements. Jasna stays current with how pickleball is evolving and applies those new insights into her coaching. One of her strengths is that she adapts her teaching for different styles of players and all level plays. Jasna's coaching and consulting over our calls has been fundamental in breaking through to get to the top 5 senior pro women on the rankings."

"I have been working with Jasna for over a year and my lessons with her are always the highlight of my week. Jasna is simply one of the best coaches I’ve ever had in any sport. She brings an infectious enthusiasm for pickleball to every session. She has literally made me a better player and the journey has been a blast. From learning how to effectively dink to perfecting overhead slams, her instruction is concise and equally important, leads to amazing results.

My lessons with Jasna have led to a greater understanding of the strategy of the game and far more enjoyment as well. She’s a demanding coach, but balances that perfectly with encouragement. She’s an inspiration as well, as she continues to compete and win at the Senior Pro level. My lessons with her are always so much fun, and always have an ‘Aha!’ moment in them. She has a keen eye and I continue to marvel at the nuances (aka bad habits) in my play that she spots and then fixes. I hope to continue to work with Jasna for many years to come!"

"Jasna was the best pickleball instructor I found in Marin, CA. I attended small group classes which allowed Jasna to play with us while giving feedback about our game. She is very perceptive and offered each of us unique suggestions to help bring our game up to the next level. I found this way of learning very effective because it allowed me to learn in the moment, while playing. Jasna is kind, patient, has a great sense of humor and really cares about helping her students level up their game. I highly recommend her!"
