Still, improving footwork is an area I hope will get more focus next time. Anyway, I think trying Anneke could be worthwhile if you're looking for a supportive instructor who helps you stay motivated.

"Rian was awesome!! I told him specifically what I wanted to work on and understand how to fix it while on the course. We got straight to it, within 5 minutes he was able to identify some of my gaps with my swing and pinpoint how to fix it. He was very straight forward with clear instructions, easy to understand. He recorded my swings and showed me the wrongs, rights and progression throughout my sessions. Hitting off grass was also a plus, great vibe, great conversations, he knows his stuff. Great instructions for an affordable price, I highly recommend him!!

I managed the girls' varsity tennis team for two years in high school, preparing them for matches and major competitions alongside the head coach. As a player, I competed in intense district and state-level matches on the boys' varsity team. Additionally, I recruited new members for both teams over the summer and dedicated several hours each week to match play.

"The lesson was very helpful. We’re still working mostly on my backhand as that’s one of my biggest weaknesses.
