Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
After talking with the parent and player, I would analyze the player to see his/her strengths and weakneses to determine the approach to the workouts.
From there, I would create a lesson plan that would entail drills that highlight the players greatest need(s).

Always ask questions about the time you’ll be spending together.

Questions about a coaches experience are the most important questions someone can have. Price is important, but no matter how much you spend, you want to make sure you get what you pay for.
