Testimonial

“I would like to share with you the key elements and lessons that stood out for me over the time I worked with Frederic Niemeyer between the ages of 12 and 14. Firstly, the intense passion for the game of tennis that Fred shared with me was in my eyes essential to my development. I really had the feeling that he wanted me to succeed as much as I did. Secondly, the discipline and professionalism that he brought was a big asset. I always remember the structure he put in place during practices or tournaments being very professional in terms of preparing, training, competing and recovering. Being on top of every aspect and teaching me how to act professionally eventually had an impact on my game and my results. Lastly, Fred had a very diversified approach in coaching. There was of course the fundamental drills that a player needs to perfect, but he also challenged us with new exercises constantly. That diversity in trainings kept me and my peers very involved and stimulated in the practices. It’s for these reasons that I keep great memories of the time we worked together and still keep until this day important lessons that he taught me.”

With the combination of his intense work ethic & passion for the game, the countless on and off court drills, and his keen eye for technique, he raised my game to new level. The improvements I made under his guidance propelled me to the top of the sport and gave me the base to have the career I’ve had. I will always be grateful for having had the opportunity to work with him.”

Fred was my coach from (years) and took me from 280 ATP to a high of 92 ATP.  Fred‘s passion for tennis is evident on a daily basis by his punctuality, unique intense training drills, dedication and the professional level of each and every practice. His past high-level as a professional tennis player gave him the expertise and knowledge to teach me the technical and tactical side of the game but even more importantly helped me emotionally through the tough times.
