"I recommend Bacem as a coach because of his tremendous knowledge, experience and his style of explaining things and making it make sense to anyone. I struggled with popping balls, my backhand returns and landing my serve consistently. Learned from Bacem that I don’t need to crush my serve and I just need to land it, now I almost land 100% of my serves. ✅ I also implanting his feedback on how to grip and position my paddle for backhand returns, how to be ready with my paddles at all times, how to anticipate the ball and read the play. I was also advised to focus on watching the opponent how they serve so I know what to expect and how to return it without hitting out or short. Bacem is still my coach and planning to continue to improve my game.

"I wanted to work on a special skill that I’ve been trying to work on for a long time, but just couldn’t master. I couldn’t figure how to do the backhand flick. I took a lesson with Jordan and he was able to show me my hand positioning, feet positioning, theory, and by the time I was done, I was able to do the backhand flick naturally. He is such a good coach and really cares about making you the best player you can be. He has such good technique and theory and really helps with strategy as well.
