"I used to be a defensive tackle (DT) in a NCAA football team. When I first started working with coach Howard, I was 5'10" and 245lbs. I was really committed to tennis. Sometimes I'd drive an hour one way for lessons twice during the weekend. I soaked up everything coach Howard taught me, like a sponge, especially working on my serve and return. After about 9 months, coach suggested I start playing locally instead of driving that distance. I jumped right in and started playing in a 2.5 league. Within 15 months of learning from coach Howard, I was down to 200 pounds. I am 180 pounds now.

"The lesson was pretty tailored to what I needed, especially since I want to prep for a tournament. Andrew's approach felt quite focused, and I appreciated that he kept it practical without overloading me with extra info. Still, I think there’s some room to fine-tune my game, but I’m optimistic about the next session. If you're aiming to get ready for competition, I’d say give him a try.
