"Coach Dean and his lesson plan was absolutely perfect for me. We/he spent time evaluating my skill level set up the lesson accordingly. The drills were designed to focus on the fundamentals which I really appreciate. He gave me an honest evaluation of strengths and weaknesses in a very positive way. Coach Dean really helped from the ground up with clear direction that made sense. Every bit of instruction came with an explanation and action/example behind it. I can’t wait to get a couple more lessons in and see where my game goes with Coach Deans instruction.
