Testimonial

Lucia was and still is my tennis coach in Shanghai. She was essential to achieve my goal. In addition to the profound technical expertise, she was able to motivate me always, pushing me to do my best to reach my goals. She's a sunny, very serious and reliable person, able to plan winning strategies and implement them until the goal is reached. I also observed in her a natural predisposition to the organization of events and to the management of people in general; I'm sure she has a natural gift in this. I recommend Lucia without any doubt, whether it is for coaching or for any other activity that requires a very motivated person, with so much energy, and who knows how to make people feel relaxed, excited and fascinated for any activity

Lucia has been my tennis coach for a while in Shanghai now. She's professional, energetic and fun to work with. I'd highly recommend any level of tennis player to train with her. She always has something to offer.
