"Manny’s lesson was quite well organized, and I appreciated how encouraging he was throughout. The new serve practice method was pretty helpful, and he was flexible when I asked to focus on volleys and slide techniques. Still, I think working more on footwork and backhand positioning could help me react faster. Overall, a good session that left me feeling motivated to keep improving. If you're looking for a coach who’s consistent and attentive, maybe give Manny a try.
