Sure was… both last week and today!! I feel like we are on the same wave length with everything. Your eye to my form and explanations to correct are just spot on. So easy to understand. By the way… me giving you feedback on my successes, is my way of saying what a great coach you are!! Thanks Ken!! Grinning ear to ear tonight… Played a match today against an opponent I’m 4-4 against. Armed with my new backhand and serve I absolutely dominated the first set: 6-0, winning 24/30 points. Of those 6 points I lost, 2 were double faults. It was amazing. Then he changed his tactics and started in with lots of slices and off speed stuff… I lost the second set 3-6. Argh! He was completely exhausted and begged for a tiebreaker… I won 10-6. Thanks coach!!

Michelle Venegas Credit to Coach Shaw. I felt like a totally different person today on the court . Mainly with confidence Great news. Our Porter Valley tennis mixed doubles 8.0 team has won the San Fernando league. Our team is going to Sectionals on Friday 9/20-9/22. I’m pretty sure I’m scheduled to be in the lineup. I still want to work on my new serve. I also need to keep up my net game, baseline & return of serve. Tennis update: I had to step in today because one of my players got injured warming up for our ladies 3.5 doubles match. We won 6-1 /6-3 playing Line 1 against Paseo. Glad I got my lesson in yesterday. I was acting Captain & player today . Thanks for coaching me!!🎾

Eddie said: Awesome, see you at 11 am this Friday. Also need another lesson on Monday 15 Jan at 12 noon or later (holiday) if you are available. For tomorrow, would be great to play a few games after hitting around/warming up. They want me to play USTA singles so I need practice actually playing singles
