" Training with Melanie has been a game-changer for me as a high-level player. Her deep understanding of strategy, technique, and match play has helped me refine the finer details of my game that I didn’t even realize needed work. She has an incredible eye for spotting inefficiencies in movement and stroke mechanics, making subtle adjustments that have significantly improved my consistency and power. What sets Melanie apart is her ability to push me beyond my comfort zone while keeping me focused and confident. She brings a great balance of intensity and encouragement, creating an environment where I’m constantly improving without feeling overwhelmed. Her tactical insights have also given me a new perspective on match play, helping me anticipate opponents’ moves and execute smarter shots under pressure. If you’re a serious player looking to sharpen your skills and elevate your game, I can’t recommend Melanie enough. She’s one of the best coaches I’ve worked with.
