The Masters Academy

"I have taken pickleball lessons from a number of coaches and Lien “Lynn” Truong is by far the best.  Lien creates incredibly valuable instruction and fun at the same time by inventing drills that involve active competition, but quickly grow into real game scenarios.  Also, her lessons always end in real pickleball games where she coaches actual play with a keen eye, a positive note, and always with a great sense of humor and a winning smile.  She even likes to text questions to her students the evening after the game to see if they have learned what they practiced that day.  Her love of the game and her delight in her players’ progress makes taking lessons from her a very positive experience.  She provides excellent customer satisfaction." -Monty​

"COOLLIEN has been nothing short of excellent in everything that she does surrounding pickleball in Vietnam and specifically in Ho Chi Minh City. I started working with her about 8 months ago and she has taken my game to a new level along with guiding me thru my coaching certifications. She and her team make you feel welcome on and off the court so if you are looking to Level Up your game there is no other option in my opinion. Thank you again so much, Lien!!" -Jo-Anne

"Coach Lien is gregarious, observant and breaks down feedback and observations analytically and simply. I trained for 3 days and returned with better serves, a new slice drop shot, and much more confidence and tenacity transitioning to the net. What I enjoyed even more were the spontaneous chats we had about pickleball in general and her incredible plans for Court One. Coach Lien was unstinting with her time and I’m already planning to head back as soon as possible." -Eugune

"But the real secret weapon here is the coach. She is an absolute master of the game. She has an incredible way of spotting your weaknesses and giving you clear, actionable drills to fix them. Her expertise is obvious from the first minute."

-Israel

"Ms Coollien was my teacher and she is both very heartwarming, technical skill is the best. She is the best." -Huy

"Took up a package with Coach Lien. Great sessions correcting all my strokes n bad habits from tennis. Movement and placement... Patience ... Calm, Control and Compact! Coach Anh was great too. Will be back to take my coaching certification." -Leslie

"Coach Ben is such an amazing coach. Patient, caring and very knowledgeable. During each session, he identifies and targets specific skills to be worked on. His demonstration and constant guidance has helped me to fine tune various techniques and strokes. Definitely a coach I'd recommend if you're looking to level up your competitive gameplay." -Timmo

"Coach Anh is an effective coach. He was able to quickly identify my playing style and adjust the training to focus on what would make the biggest difference for me. His instructions were clear and practical, which made it easy to understand and apply on court.

​​​

Coach Cherry is extremely supportive throughout the sessions. She complemented Coach Anh really well, gave useful pointers, and adapted the drills according to what we needed.

​​

I have really enjoyed the training with both of them and came away with plenty to work on. Looking forward to going back to Vietnam to level up again!"

​"Training with Coach Anh in Vietnam was a great experience. He has a sharp eye for spotting weaknesses in your game and doesn't waste time - every drill felt purposeful and directly tied to something I needed to fix. He was always encouraging me to relax (especially for the serves), even while pushing me to train harder and get comfortable working through some discomfort.

​​​​

Coach Cherry made every session just as rewarding. She brought a lot of energy and encouragement, but took a more conservative approach - making sure I felt good throughout and never pushed past what my body could handle. She fed really good shots that kept me locked into practicing specific moves, especially around volleys, and always wrapped up sessions with stretches to make sure my muscles were properly looked after.

​​​​

Between the two of them, the training pushed me further than I expected in a short time, while keeping recovery front of mind. Already thinking about when I can go back for round two ☺️"

-Cheryl

"A good coach isn’t just someone who teaches skills or techniques, it’s someone who truly connects with their student. And even though we only met once, I really felt like we could click on so many levels. As a coach myself, I understand how rare and special that is. I agreed with everything you said during our session, you’re so good at reading different players and adjusting to their styles, personalities, and backgrounds. It shows how experienced and tuned in you are. And your energy is what really stood out to me. You made the session fun and positive and I still felt challenged and pushed in the best way. You encouraged without pressure, and I left feeling better, not just as a player but as a person. Honestly when we parted ways after the intensive 3 days course, I was tearing up secretly. That’s how much you impacted me. You really captured my heart. Thank you for being so genuine and amazing. You’re a rare kind of coach. And I learned so much from you not just as a pickleball player, but a coach and in life 🥰" -tenniswithmary.com
