“I’ve been taking lessons with Poom for a while now, and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. As an older person, it can be incredibly frustrating trying to unlearn bad habits or figure out why a certain shot just isn't landing, but this guy has been a real gift for making the complex mechanics of tennis easy to understand. He doesn't just tell you what to do but he takes the time to explain why you are doing it, which has completely changed the way I approach my game. Within the first few sessions, he identified a few tiny tweaks in my footwork and racquet preparation that immediately added more power and consistency to my swings. He is incredibly patient and always knows exactly how to balance pushing me out of my comfort zone with keeping the sessions enjoyable. You definitely get an intense workout in, but you’re having so much fun hitting the ball and seeing real time improvement that you hardly even notice the fatigue. Beyond just the technical strokes, he has also been great at teaching match strategy and helping me build better mental focus during rallies. Whether you are a total beginner wanting to build a rock-solid foundation, or an experienced player looking to refine your technique and take your skills to the next level, I cannot recommend Poom highly enough. He is a truly dedicated coach who genuinely cares about his students' progress, and my confidence on the court has skyrocketed since we started working together.”Max W., student · shared by Navapoom
