Coaching philosophy

Play the game you already have, better.

Most players do not need a new swing. They need to know which two things are costing them points, and a way to fix them that survives a real match. That is what Hannah looks for first, whether it is your first lesson or your fiftieth.

Lessons are structured: a warm-up to see your game, focused work on the fix, then live points so it holds up under pressure. They are also fun, because nobody improves while they are tense.
