"Today’s lesson with Jamie was quite helpful, especially focusing on solving problems with my backhand.

Coach Seth

A key during your first lesson is for you to demonstrate your shot skills and most importantly your (complete) understanding of the game’s key strategies and myriad of tactics. This allows me to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses and build from there. No sense spending a lot of time on parts of the game that you’re already really good at. But almost always, this first lesson uncovers one or more “gems” that can be deployed right away and can immediately result in more wins for you on the courts.
