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.

Cal is a great coach and his lesson definitely highlighted some useful techniques I hadn't fully grasped before. Though I still have work to do on consistency, I'm hopeful that with more practice I can incorporate the tips he shared. Honestly, his approach feels quite practical and tailored, which I appreciated. Still, I think continuing with these lessons could really make a difference for my game. I’d suggest giving Cal a try if you're serious about improving your pickleball skills.

The lesson with Cal was quite helpful, especially because he offered specific insights into my pickleball technique, which I found pretty useful. Though I still have some areas to improve, I feel more confident moving forward. Still, a bit more focus on shot placement could make the lessons even better. I’m hoping future lessons will be even more tailored to my needs, so I might give Cal another shot.

The lesson with Cal was quite thorough. I appreciated how patient he was in explaining everything, especially since I wanted to focus more on my posture and understanding the rules. Though I still need to refine some details, like my stance during volleys, the lesson provided solid guidance that I can build on. Still, I’m optimistic about future lessons and shaping my game further with his help. Seems like a good way to get better at pickleball if you’re serious about improving.
