The lesson highlight, honestly, was just the overall focus on different aspects, though I think I need to work a bit more on my consistency to really see results. Still, I felt it was quite helpful, and I’m optimistic about making steady progress.

Slowing the pace of the ball to really focus on stroke development was eye-opening. Rally’s on forehand and backhand lengthened and my confidence on the court grew as we progressed through the different pressured balls.
