I typically start with a full warm up, then based on the players needs will work on anything from specific stroke fundamentals, lots of repetition through feeding balls and live hitting drills as well as lots of serve and return work. I am big on footwork and hard work and love to give extra time to the serve. I am a positive motivator, keep things simple and try to have fun on court. Look forward to working with you!!
