Alastair Milne Home - Tennis Fitness Trainer

Alicante
Spain

I\’m Aly, from Hong Kong and sport is where I excel. A very early memory I clearly picture in my mind is when I was 6 years old discussing with the new boy who just beat me in the sprint race, what made him run so fast? I decided it was because of his pigeon footed style and much to my mum\’s dismay, I trained myself to walk/run pigeon footed…and then back again for my mum\’s sake! I don\’t think it made much difference as I was never able to beat that boy, but I can honestly say this was my first foray into sports performance enhancement.

Now, as a Certified Tennis Performance Specialist, I integrate corrective exercise, strength and conditioning for performance enhancement, tennis-specific movement, and serve biomechanics to develop injury-resistant athletes. My approach focuses on customized, long-term development plans that prioritize both performance and injury prevention. For me, coaching is about more than physical conditioning; it’s about building a resilient mindset, embracing the process, and helping athletes reach their long-term goals while enjoying the journey

Experience

At 50 years old, I’ve lived many experiences which all contribute to the way I am now, both professionally and personally. The role I play as a strength and conditioning coach specialising in high performance tennis very much combines both the professional and the personal. The bottom line though is people employ my services because they require guidance to successfully navigate the brutal demands of professional tennis, and that’s what I do.

Testimonial

It's been a busy year our end with A. exams, health and sh'e finally on track.2023/4 didn't go as expected but she's in a good place now. She played brilliantly yesterday and her level is going up all the time. We are going to explore finding an S&C nearer to home because as you suggested it's not ideal that she is here and you are in Spain.If that ever changes then let us know because you've been the best S&C coach she's ever had. Thank you for everything you've done for her.

We are very sad to hear you have left the academy, as you were very professional and really helped and taught E. a lot. I hope we will see you in the near future, keep in touch.

...it makes me very sad and even in a certain way strange for not having found you at the academy. You know how much we love you and especially teh admiration that J. has for you. We hope to see you soon and we are sure to meet again.

...I just want to thank you for everything you've taught me, for all the care you've shown me, the attention you've given me, and most importantly, you've taught me to improve as a person. Thank you so much Aly.

Testimonial

Alastair has been very methodical in his planning both long and short term for each player, whose differing needs and goals required an eye for detail to assess and analyse player movement (on and off-court) which has resulted in improved performance and reduced risk of injury. It is clear this has been due to his effective communication and education of players on proper exercise technique, hydration/nutrition, injury prevention and other important recovery protocols. He is a great team player with a bubbly character and sharp sense of humour. He will be sadly missed here at the academy but I understand his wish to pursue his professional career in elite tennis and further afield within the profession
