Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I usually like to start off with talking about goals with a new student. Once we are aligned, it makes everything easier. If getting better at tennis is the goal, an example session looks like:
- Warm up with footwork drills
- Start with hand feeds, focusing on form and technique
- Progress into live ball feeds focusing on targets
- Serves
- At the end of sessions live ball hitting with me, mixed in with some competitive point play
