"After the lesson, I appreciated how we wrapped up with some game play, which really helped identify aspects that may not have been observed during drills. I can see myself continuing to improve with additional lessons. Michelle’s approach is quite practical and helped me connect the dots in my game. I really appreciated how Michelle met me where I’m at vs. giving a generic lesson. I’m looking forward to working with Michelle again.
