Lessons

Last week I had my first lesson with Dan in a new series. I think this is the fourth series of ten I've done with Dan so far. I asked Dan to make this series much more focused on specific goals, with more structure, and homework. I want to know that if I took an exam at the end, I would be doing better in X, Y, and Z. In the first lesson, Dan decided to focus on consistency, and had me hit 10 baseline shots that must land between the service line and the baseline. For every three shots that landed short, he punished me with 10 push-ups. I can tell you I was sore the next day from all the push-ups. Since the lesson, I drilled with the ball machine, focused on loopy shots, getting under the ball. We'll see how it goes today when I have the second lesson. Push-ups are good, but I want to do them on my own terms.
