They are also easy to waste if the only work happens in the 45-60 minutes with the coach. How to maximize results from private lessons Help your child build a loop around every lesson: Take notes (or voice-note right after) - one technical cue, one tactical intention Book a practice court the same week and drop-feed at least once or twice Work the lesson shots alone - shadow swings, basket if available, wall, ball machine Find a YouTube role model for the shot and watch with a purpose (unit turn, contact, finish) Mirror work for technique - slow, correct, repeatable The 3× rule: for every hour of lesson time, aim for roughly three hours of self-directed reps on the same theme that week.
