The progression
From fundamentals to player diagnostics
Each tier builds on the last. You begin with fundamental pedagogy, move into technical analysis and safety standards, and finish with advanced player diagnostics.
01 · Fundamental pedagogy
Structure lessons, sequence skills, and explain technique so players can practice it on their own.
02 · Technical analysis
Read footwork, paddle path, and court position, then identify what drives each shot.
03 · Player diagnostics
Spot recurring errors in live play, prioritize them, and give feedback a student can act on.
