Latest Reviews
Susan was able to identify and fix an issue that's been messing up my game. It had to do with failing to shift my weight from one foot to the other, which in turn did not allow me to hit the ball with enough power without hurting my shoulder and elbow. The two coaches I worked with previously tried to correct this by focusing entirely on my upper body movement. Susan was the first one who focused on my feet and nailed the problem.
Overall, I find Susan's drills very effective. I think I've made more meaningful progress with her within 4-5 sessions than I did in my much longer time training with other coaches.
