“Coach Napoleon has honestly made such a big difference in my tennis game. He taught me how to hit on the rise, which totally changed how I play, and he also worked with me to fix my technique so I could be more confident and tactical on the court. He was always super supportive, patient and explained things in a way they would click for me. What I really appreciated was how he made our group feel like a real team. He came up with fun ice breakers and little games that got us talking and laughing together. Even though we play singles and doubles, it started to feel like we were all playing for each other. Because of his coaching, we made it all the way to CIF as both a team and in individual competition and we made it far. I was proud to make it to Individuals CIF myself, along with three of my teammates. It was an amazing experience that I’ll never forget, and none of it would’ve been possible without him.”

Oh, I’d say Napoleon’s lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my serve technique. Though I’d love if there was more emphasis on rally drills, but still, it was a pretty good experience overall and I’ll probably try another lesson soon.
