The ins and outs of our programme personalisation

Every tennis academy has its priorities in their training methodology as well as a general set-up. Our team puts major emphasis on the personalisation of all our programmes, be it individual or group options.

What does such a personalisation involve in practice?

First of all, it impacts crucially on the coach-player on-court ratio. Being a small academy that puts a limit on how many full-time players it accepts, our normal on-court ratio is 2 players and 1 coach. However, it happens on a regular basis that our players enjoy one-on-one training sessions, which is an advantage of our limited number of players.

Second, we individualise tennis, fitness and mental programmes, adjusting each of them to our players’ unique needs.

Moreover, programme individualisation allows our coaches to provide our players with constant and up-to-date feedback as they have time to focus on each individual player every day and modify programmes according to players’ progress.

Last but not least, our organisational framework permits us to build relationships with our players as we spend a lot of time with each and every one of them, talking to them individually throughout the day, be it on the court, during tournaments, on the way to or back from school or during lunch breaks. Thanks to that, we know their daily concerns and respond to their needs based on the on-going situation, not on some general ideas detached from individual context.
