Current and Previous Coach, Club & Academies
- I started training in Tullinge tennis club were my head coach was Daniel Bjerner. In autumn 2018, Peter Lönn started as a tennis trainer in Tullinge tennis club. Peter Lönn and I started a closer cooperation in spring 2019 and one year later, Peter arranged for me to show my tennis skills/qualities to the new Sporting manager at SALK tennis club, Simon Aspelin, who is the former world rank #8 in double. Simon Aspelin offered me a place in the SALK youth talent group, even though I was too young.
- So since May 2020, I’m part of the SALK youth talent group were my head coach is Carl Ackered. I’m the youngest tennis player in the talent group where everyone else is born 2008 & 2009. At SALK I’m also training twice a week with Simon Aspelin.
Testimonial
I started at the Tullinge Tennis Club I the south of Stockholm in the fall 2018. That was the first time I saw Mick, who was 8 years old at the time. In the fall 2018 I coached Mike 1 hour once a in a week in a group. I also played with him individually every second week. I remember that I was often impressed when I saw Mike and his father, Jakob, in the hall playing by themselves. In March 2019, I started working with Mick more on weekends, and also had the opportunity to watch him in a competition in Danderyd. Mick has often had the opportunity to play in exhibition matches against older players, and then be given one or two things t focus on during these matches. Despite his young age, Mike has proven that he has great mental skills, and an amazing attitude towards match playing and training. Also, at setbacks, he has not allowed himself to be down for long. Instead, he has always turned up the next day, boosted with energy. In all my years as a coach, I have never seen a 10-year-old who has mastered all the shots of tennis like Mick. Outside of the tennis court, Mick is a very modest person, he is a great friend. Mike also likes other sports, like soccer and ice hockey. Besides tennis, he also does swimming training, and is very good at that too. Mick also likes to go to restaurants and cafés.
