A client can expect to utilize every minute of a typical session with me, because I pay attention to the smallest details from the very beginning of any drill. I've worked alongside coaches that allow room for error with their clients from the beginning, and this sets the bar low from day one. I set my bar as high as possible and as early as possible in order to maximize my client's potential and time.
