Doing well
Great split step on the return
You land on both feet a beat before the serve is struck, so you can move either way. That is why the wide return at 0:05 is still in play. Keep it.

Send me your match. Get a lesson back.
Film a few minutes of you playing, send it here, and I will watch it properly and send back a lesson: every key moment timestamped and explained, plus a talk-over video and the drills to fix it.

How it works
Three steps. You only do the first one.
The hard part is already done: you played the match. Everything after that is mine.
You send footage
Ten minutes of real games is enough. It goes up in pieces, so a big file and a slow connection are both fine, and there is a link option if it already lives on YouTube or Drive. Tell me which player you are and what you want looked at, then pay by Venmo.
I watch it properly
Not a skim. I sit with it, mark every moment worth talking about, and work out which one thing is costing you the most points. That is usually an hour on a half-hour clip.
You get a lesson back
Usually a video of me talking over your own footage, pausing and rewinding to show what to do instead, with every point written up against the second it happens. Then you can reply and ask.
What lands in your account
A page you can actually use at the court.
Every note is a button. Press "0:12" and your own footage jumps straight to the shot being described, so you are never hunting for it. Below is an example of how three notes come back, on a drawn court rather than a real clip.
This is an example, not real footage: the court is drawn and the three notes are made up to show the shape of a review. Your clip and your notes are private to the two of us.
Key moments (example)
0:12
To fix
Third shot floats: aim for the shoelaces
The drop at 0:12 peaks above the net and gives them an easy put-away. You are lifting with the arm. Bend the knees, keep the paddle face quiet, and picture the ball landing on their shoelaces, not clearing the net.
0:21
Drill this
Dink and reset, five minutes a day
Cross-court dinks with a partner, then every fourth ball they speed up and you reset it soft into the kitchen. The rally at 0:21 is exactly the ball this fixes.
Pricing
Pick the amount of footage, not the amount of coaching.

Before you film
What makes a clip worth reviewing.
None of this needs equipment. A phone on a fence post beats a camera in the wrong place, and a bad angle is the one thing that can waste a review.
- Film from behind the baseline so I can see the whole court and your feet.
- Landscape or portrait both work, just keep the phone still. A fence mount or a friend is perfect.
- A few real points beat a highlight reel. Include the mistakes.
- Tell me which player you are and what you want looked at.
What I cannot work with
- Anything filmed from the side fence at head height. The far player hides behind the net, depth is unreadable, and half the court is missing. Get behind the baseline instead. Portrait is fine from back there.
- Footage where I cannot tell which player you are. Say the shirt color and the end.
- Warm-up dinking only. It is the rallies you lose that are worth the money.
- A private link I cannot open. Check it works signed out before you send it.
Questions
The things people ask first.
What should I film?
Real games, from behind the baseline, high enough to see the whole court. Ten minutes of rallies you actually played tells me far more than an hour of drilling. A phone propped on a fence post behind the court is plenty, and portrait or landscape both work from back there.
How do you send the review back?
Usually as a video: me talking over your own footage, pausing and rewinding to show what to do instead. Every point I make is also written up against the second it happens, so you can press a note and jump straight to that rally. Some reviews are better answered with notes and stills, and those come back that way.
How long does it take?
The turnaround for each plan is on its card, and the due date is shown to you the moment you send the footage. You can see exactly where your review is at any time in your account.
How do I pay?
By Venmo, once you have sent the footage. Your review page shows the amount, my Venmo handle and a reference to put in the note. I start watching as soon as it lands. No card details are taken on this site and nothing is charged online.
Do I need an account?
Yes, and it takes about a minute. Your footage is private to the two of us, so it has to live somewhere only you can open. Your reviews, notes and replies stay in there for as long as you want them.
Do you film me, or do I?
You do, and there is not much to it. Prop a phone behind the baseline for a game you were playing anyway. I am not there, and that is the point: this is the game you actually play, not the one you play with a coach watching.
Can I ask questions once it lands?
Yes, and please do. Every review has a message thread that stays open. Ask why I said something, tell me it did not work, send a clip of you trying it. I get told the moment you post and the whole conversation stays on the review.
What if my video file is enormous?
Upload it anyway. It is sent in pieces and retries by itself if the connection drops, so a big file on patchy wifi is fine. If it is genuinely huge, paste a link to it on YouTube (unlisted), Google Drive or Dropbox instead and I will watch it there. The one thing a link cannot do is carry the clickable timestamps, so upload the file if you want the notes you can press.
You have already played the match.
Creating an account takes a minute, and it is where your footage, your review and everything I write about it stay. Nobody else can see any of it.
