"My lesson with Jose was quite good, though I’d say it’s more of a steady improvement rather than dramatic change. The highlight for me was how he focused on refining my backhand technique, which was pretty helpful. I still think I need to work on consistency, but I’m hopeful about getting there with his guidance. Still, it’s encouraging to have someone who really pays attention to your specific needs. If you’re into tennis and want a coach who’s thoughtful but not overly intense, trying Jose might be worth considering.
