I have been coaching on the ATP/WTA pro circuit for over ten years now. I have had and still have the chance to work with some of the greatest names in tennis.

They have inspired me and shown me the way to excellence through their professionalism, but also through their constant search for improvement. They were always looking for new training techniques, new exercises adapted to their development choices.

From my beginnings in a club to my arrival on the pro circuit, I have always loved the challenge of helping my athlete to progress and reach their goals. To do this, I have always tried to find new ways to make him progress, to make him aware of certain things.

One evening in 2019, I was in my hotel room in Hungary, preparing the week’s workouts and I asked myself: how can I put together the various training techniques I use in one exercise ?

How to reproduce a stressful situation, a physical effort, a maximum concentration, while keeping the pleasure of playing.

It is not always easy to keep the concentration and the motivation of your athlete, because since their childhood they do the same exercises every day. This is how the Tennis Cards Challenge was born.
