My name is Markus Holthaus, 57 years young and i am coming from Germany. I am divorced with 2 adult children. I have been fascinated by this sport since i was 5 years old and i am lucky enaugh to turn my passsion into a profession.
After studying at the German Sportuniversity Cologne I founded the Holthaus Tennis Academy in 1998 and managed it till march 24.
Since my children left Cologne i decided to take new paths and combine my job with my second great passion: discovering new countries, people and cultures.
In june 24 then i took on the coaching of an English/Maroccan Junior (Samy Hayes) with a four week training stay in Morocco.
Subsequently i received a contract with the Tennisfoundation Ghana. There i coached several Ghanaians ( Raphael Nortei) and Samy Hayes for six weeks during six ITF tournaments.
In september, the Tennisfoundation Ghana opened the first tennis boarding school in Accra , where i was responsible as the headcoach for developing the sportsprogram.
Since december, I have been back in Germany and am now seeking a new sportschallenge worldwide. I have extensive knowledge and would like to pass on my expertise.
I speak German, English and French without problems.

Ich würde gerne etwas von meinem breiten Fachwissen weitergeben und dabei auch meine Persönlichkeit weiterentwickeln. Ich liebe fremde Kulturen, habe keine Angst und arbeite stets sehr lösungsorientiert. Nachdem die Kinder jetzt aus dem Haus sind, möchte ich gerne Veränderung. Gerade mein Aufenthalt in Ghana hat mich zu diesem neuen Weg bestärkt. Ich bin Pädagoge und arbeite sehr gerne mit Kindern und Jugendlichen. Hier kommt mir neben meiner Persönlichkeit, meinem pädagogischem Geschick auch mein fundiertes psychologisches Wissen ungemein zu Hilfe.
Experience
In my now 27 years as a full-time tennis coach, i have gained a wealth of experience. I have trained everything from single-small groups- to large groups, from age 3 to 80, and from beginners to high performance athletes.
From designing individual training sessions to creating an academy plan or building up a developing tennis-specidic training program for the first tennis boarding school in Ghana, i have also accomplished a lot on the organizational side.
