"William's lesson was quite useful, especially when he focused on improving my volley technique, which I appreciated. Although I felt a bit shy at first, he made things feel straightforward without overloading me, still, I’d be keen to try another lesson soon.

After a five-year hiatus, I resumed playing last year, with my primary focus now on coaching.
