The path of the young professional
1. Trial week
The beginning of our cooperation starts with a trial week, giving the coaches but above all the player a chance to get to know each other. Do you like the way we train? Then let’s move on to step number 2.
2. Setting goals
We work with you to develop short, medium and long term goals. What technical changes do we have to make with you, and where will you be tactically on the court in 3 months? These questions will take place with close consultation with your coach.
3. Intense tennis and
fitness training
Intensive tennis and fitness training – a prerequisite for us is that the player fundamentally brings 110% to every training session on and off the court. Are you ready?
4. Training and
tournament planning
Training and tournament planning – To test your abilities in competitive conditions, our team will plan the right schedule around your training and tournaments.
5. Feedback and
Re-goal-setting
Naturally, we love to receive feedback from you regularly. How do you feel during a match? Were you able to use on court what you trained and learnt into action?
6. The transition to the
professional circuit
Once we have worked together in taking you to be the best you can be, these stages undergone will prepare you for your professional career.
