New Student Testimonial
Sandra, I did not know what to expect at my first lesson but I enjoy watching you play and your qualifications are very impressive. I was concerned that it would be too much too fast but that was definitely not the case. You started with the fundamentals and gave me one instruction at at time. This allowed me to immediately practice what you were teaching and build muscle memory.
I also enjoyed the dinking board, pickleball machine, and equipment. This helped me with proper positioning and techniques. The video was also very helpful and encouraging. Best of all, you are very pleasant, professional, friendly, and down to earth.
I was very pleased with everything I learned and I am excited to "Get Better Faster" with Rocket City Pickleball. I also learned a lot from your book. Your friend and student - Barbara L
Book Testimonial
I have read Sandra’ Brazelton’s book, Pickleball For All. Being new to the game, I was immediately aware of how practical the book made critical Pickleball concepts, but also the emphasis on simply having a good time. In the book, she uses something called “Sandra’s Pro Tips” to highlight a concept or idea of importance. This is not a book to read once and put away, but can be considered as a reference guide for beginning and intermediate players to focus on technique, fundamental game-play, and even topics like stretching and equipment selection. In addition to reading the book, I have met Sandra personally. She is just as engaging in person as she is in the book. I have seen her in action on the Pickleball court reminding new players of the concepts that she has written in the book and freely giving of the knowledge that she has acquired over the years. An additional thought of the book is regarding where you obtain your knowledge. It is clear that Sandra has learned from some of the most prolific Pickleball players in the world and not only has played the game, but is also a trained referee, and instructor. She stresses the importance of not “picking up bad habits” that can lead to poor play, but to be intentional about mastering the skills required to play Pickleball in a fun, safe and competitive way. I highly recommend Sandra’s book, “Pickleball For All” to anyone who wants to play this game!
