I’ve dedicated my life to understanding tennis. I love being on the court with the players. So yes, the road to the top is a long one. Knowing how to surround yourself with the right people at the right time is essential.
That’s what I’ve managed to do as a coach. Several mentors have guided me along the way and helped me succeed. I’m very grateful to them.
Outside tennis, I like to spend time at home with my loved ones whenever I can.
I like to go to the cinema, to a music concert, or have a drink in a good bar with friends.
I’m curious and like to discover and learn new things.
As well as tennis technique, I’m passionate about biomechanics. Understanding how the player moves and balances before, during and after the shot are essential components of the game. Every player is unique, so every coach needs to make an effort to individualize his coaching as much as possible.
Using Kinvent equipment, I have developed an innovative approach to measuring physical performance. I know the players inside out. In addition to my experienced eye, the data enables me to give clear training guidelines.
