Testimonial

I’m writing to you in regards of my son Mick Knejp who plays tennis and has had Peter Lönn as his head tennis coach/trainer since the beginning of 2019. I can highly recommend Peter Lönn to any tennis club who is looking for a result oriented trainer/coach! Mick is 9 years old and since Peter started working with him, Peter has improved Mick’s tennis game in general terms significantly. Among other things, Peter has improved Mick’s technical skills. After having discussed Micks technique with me, Peter changed Mick’s forehand and backhand so that Mick now plays with a lot of pronation (think Casper Ruud). With this technique, Mick gets his opponents (even 12-14 years old opponents) under a lot of pressure when playing from the baseline (like Rafael Nadal). Furthermore, Peter has developed Mick’s strategical and tactical part of the game a lot. Among other things, Peter has developed Mick’s tactics to use his strengths (both natural and learned). For example, Mick now use as many inside-out forehands (natural stronger forehand) as possible and he also hit the balls more on the rise (learned by Peter) to put even more pressure on the opponents. Even though Mick is still very small and obviously still has a lot to learn, Peter has got Mick to play smarter, more strategically correct tennis mixed with cunning (and fairly advanced) tactical plays that his opponents have difficulties reading. Thanks to Peter that has improved Mick’s technical skills and developed Mick’s strategical and tactical part of the game, Mick has started winning against players (12-14 years old) that he previously never beaten before.

Peter started as my tennis coach when I was about eight years old. He kept training me for several years, until I was fourteen. Peter is a coach who have strong believes in his players and who helps his players develop both technically, mentally and physically. Already when I was just a kid playing tennis with my friends after school, he saw that I had some talent. Throughout the years we kept working hard, and he helped forming me as the tennis player I am today. Peter is a coach who like to challenge his players, already from young age. He sees what players are capable of, and he helps them develop and improve every day. The years I had with Peter as my tennis coach were crucial for my tennis career. He is the one who really introduced me to the possibilities I had, and who thought me all the most essential parts of developing as a tennis player, despite my young age at that time. I went from being a kid who ran around on the court with a tennis racket, not knowing what I was doing, to moving from Norway to the USA to play college tennis and receiving the award female athlete of the year at my university. This is all thanks to Peter
