That lesson clicked for me, and the team play helped link every drill to real rallies, so I can actually use what Jon showed during matchups, wow. Continued improvement, for sure, and that highlight of applying tactics in live play felt like a real turning point. I’m excited to keep building on this and see how the next lesson adds to the pace and control.
