“I'm pretty satisfied with how the lesson went, especially since Pancho emphasized continuing to practice ball striking and good finishes. I hope to get a tune-up on what we've already covered, just to keep things consistent. Still, I think my game can stay steady with a bit more focus on those areas. Nothing flashy, but a solid step forward. If you're looking to work on fundamentals like good finishes, Pancho's approach could be worth exploring.”

Coach Thornton covered some basics that helped me understand what I had to do. I experienced an immediate improvement. He is able to convey the game from both a mental and physical perspective in a very comprehensible way.
