点评:When I travel, I love to take a lesson--so I booked an hour lesson with Oliver at the ATA in Saint-Martin. It was close to our residence for the 2 weeks we were there and I hoped to get a lesson, play a little tennis or pickleball, etc. My first lesson with Oliver was terrible--he saw me hit one ball and told me that my whole forehand was wrong! He said that I needed to change my grip, etc, etc and that all of my lessons before were teaching me the wrong way! Now I told him that a change like that might take me LOTS more than the hour we had available, so....was there anything perhaps less drastic that I could work on? I've been playing tennis for a long time and no one ever criticized me so quickly or so drastically--how can that help anyone?? I will never go back and you shouldn't either!
翻译:我旅行的时候喜欢上课——所以我在圣马丁岛的ATA网球中心跟奥利弗预定了一小时的课。那里离我们住的地方很近,我们在那里待了两周,我希望上课的时候可以打打网球或者匹克球什么的。结果我跟奥利弗的第一节课糟透了——他只看了我打了一个球就说我的整个正手都错了!他说我需要改变握拍方式等等等等,还说我之前上的所有课都是教错的!我告诉他,像这样的改变可能要花我远远超过我们预定的一个小时的时间,所以……有没有什么不那么激进的办法可以让我练习一下?我打网球这么多年了,从来没有人这么快、这么严厉地批评过我——这有什么用?我以后再也不会去上他的课了,你们也千万别去!
