"The lesson was pretty active, which I appreciated, and I think with a little more focus on my areas for improvement, I could really improve. Nicolette's approach keeps things balanced without being too much. I hope to build on what I learn every week and get better over time!

"Hey, I have to say, Scott's lesson was quite helpful, especially focusing on positioning and ball placement in the kitchen. Though my ankle injury limited some movements, I still felt like I made good progress. I appreciate the detailed guidance on volleying too, and I’m hopeful to continue improving with practice. Still, I look forward to more focused work on shot placement in future lessons as well. Interestingly, Scott’s approach was straightforward but effective, making me feel more confident on the court. If you’re interested in refining your dink and soft game, I’d suggest giving him a try.
