Generally, I find Brian has a good structure on the court, and he can rally with me for more energy and engagement which keeps things pretty active. Still, I’d like to see us progress towards a full shot regimen during rallies, though. If that improves, I think it’ll help me quite a bit moving forward. Definitely worth trying out if you want a coach who can keep the structure going without losing focus.
Deb
I taught and coached several sports and I appreciate Brian's ability to push you while providing positive encouragement to keep you motivated and willing to work hard. He is truly committed to providing his students all they need to fall in love with the game.

This coach is to technical and does not hit with me enough. He is to focused on stroke technique and long term improvement.
