Oh, wow, so Cal went through all the techniques we've practiced in previous lessons, starting with soft dinking and then moving on to backhand strokes and volleys, it was pretty thorough. The new tech I picked up today was volleying, which was quite helpful, and I think with some confidence during games, I could really start to apply it better. Honestly, I feel like these lessons are steadily improving my skills, and I can see how focusing on specific techniques like volleys makes a difference. Still, I’d like to see myself joining the others more confidently in gameplay soon, though. If you’re into pickleball and want to keep progressing, Cal’s lessons might be worth considering.

I'm feeling pretty good about my lesson with Cal. We focused on my lab and smash defense, and honestly, I feel more confident than before. Still, I know I need more practice to really get better, but I appreciate that we'll continue working on my skills and habits when we meet again. Oh, and working on serves and returns with you is always helpful, every time I see you, I pick up something new, which is great. I guess what I’d like to see next is a bit more tailored to my current needs, maybe focusing on what I’m losing most points on, but I’m hopeful we’ll find the right topic soon. Overall, I think Cal’s approach really helps solidify good habits in a calm, straightforward way.
