The first workout with a new student is about assessing their skill set & finding out if I am a good fit to help the player improve. I like to go through a variety of drills addressing all of the fundamentals to evaluate their strengths/weaknesses.

After the initial workout, I usually discuss with the player what my thoughts are in regards to how we will move forward and what areas of their game we should address. I also like to get feedback from the player to see if there is anything they really want to focus on as we continue with our training.

If it ends up being a good fit & the player wants to continue working with me, I discuss scheduling future sessions with their parent/guardian.
