I can confidently hit a topspin forehand and backhand during an average rally.
I would like to improve my forehand.
I would like to improve my backhand.
I would like to improve my serve.
I would like to improve my volleys.
I believe I am very coachable (willing to take direction and learn quickly)
I care about learning the mental and strategy side of competing in tennis
I am willing to contact a friend to play 1 every 2 weeks on my own (without the help of my parents)
I am willing to try at least 1 USTA tournament, appropriate for my level, during between now and the end of the year.
I enjoy learning tennis concepts through watching Youtube, Instagram, etc.
After visiting this page (https://www.firstservecoaching.com/photo-gallery), I feel positive and excited about my first lesson.
I feel nervous about my first lesson.
Anything else you would you like me to know about your tennis goals? (Spend at least 3 min to think about this and write at least 3 sentences.  The more you describe, the more I can help you as your prospective tennis coach)

Example 1:   I am 6 to 8 and my parents are making me take lessons. The most important this is that start my tennis journey on the right foot and have fun.   (My parents hope I have a positive athletic experience via tennis lessons). 

Example 2:   I am 11 and my last coach was boring me with technique, but I really want to learn how to rally, play points and have more fun generally speaking.    2 areas that I really need help with are my serve and backhand.    Can you help me learn and have fun at the same time?

Example 2:  I am 14 and my last coach was super nice, but a little too easy on me and I want to be pushed a bit more. I think I need to work on my fitness and I am willing to stretch a little too get there (but not too much!).   I want to have a confident topspin forehand as my "bread and butter " shot!

What would you like Coach Jason to know about your (or your child's) learning style (visual, auditory, neurodivergent issues, likes/dislikes, what motivates you most, love doing pushups, when don't you do well, etc)?  Please spend just 2 min to write at least 3 sentences about what you want me to know about you.  *
Do you (or your child) have any pre-existing injuries, disabilities or health issues that I should know about before we work together? *
Typically, I do not reserve courts so from time to time, we may have a situation where all avail courts are occupied (MA High School, Willow Oaks or Holbrook Palmer Park).   I just want to make this clear upfront that this may happen from time to time and can be frustrating, given driving time, energy spent, etc.  *
