Testimonial
Gunter has been my coach twice during my career: * Gunter has a very good point of view of tennis, is strong with tactics, how to win matches and turn around "lost" matches * communication: he learned me a lot off court how to become a better player/person on court * Gunter is an easy going guy off court, is able to adapt himself Best regards Kristof Vliegen

Testimonial
I had the opportunity to work together with Gunter for two years as he was a responsible for a promising young player at our academy. He obviously has experience in working with high performance players. The co-operative method in building up and running practice sessions with players is notable in his way of approaching tennis. The importance of feedback and communication skills Gunter emphasises are key factors in players development and build a positive player-coach relationship. An intelligent coach with great experience is always an asset in any academy whether working as a head of a tennis program or being responsible for creating a long term pathway for a high performance player.

Testimonial
I started working with Gunter when I was playing doubles with Chris haggard and we agreed to hire a coach together to improve as a doubles team. Gunter immediately had a big impact on me, he gave me the motivation to start working really hard. I doubled my practice hours during the period we worked together. Also mentally he got me almost obsessed with staying in the moment, to always focus on the next point. A very nice thing was that he made it feel like he was just giving me options and I was the one choosing how to proceed, what to work on. Then he would always be ready to present more options every time I was satisfied with the progress on 1 goal and/or ready for the next.
