"Great teacher. I was stuck and plateaued after some competitive success but couldn’t crack those more difficult players. I was filming myself but didn’t know what I was even looking for. Brandon was so helpful and would break things down into manageable pieces and helped me improve my resets, serves, drives, and dinks. He also gave me specific drills, videos, and small daily things to work on. So helpful and encouraging.
