Dear student,
I know this is a difficult time, you have just made the decision to spend a year with us at our tennnis academy studying, training and competing, I’m sure you are nervous, but I’d like to encourage you to be calm.
Here you will learn from defeat, from adversity, from giving much more than you imagine you can give and, above all, you will learn to be and live like a 360 degrees tennis player. You will rest tennis, you will eat tennis for breakfast, you will train tennis, you will shape your body to endure, to jump, to get ready as fast as you can, you will eat to perform, you will rest to endure. You will be able to give yourself a chance at life with tennis and education. This is the biggest challenge you can set for yourself and with time you will see that it is the best decision. You will learn to do it with passion and to be perseverant in following your dreams.
In addition, you will live with boys and girls from other cultures from more than 40 countries with the same dream as you. You will learn to respect them and understand them, as many will be rivals but also mirrors, friends and companions. Here you will establish unbreakable relationships over time and you will realize that this effort will help you to think like a tennis player in the matches of your life.
Here you will work on our values such as respect, effort, discipline and you will see that thanks to these values you will connect, learn and make them your own, like so many alumni who today keep talking about them.
We, the faculty, the coaches, the entire staff will help you find your best self to face adversity. And to do so, you will have to continually step out of your comfort zone to be prepared for the most incredible battles.
The academy will be your home, your peers and the staff will be your family and your support. We will have a great year. We are also celebrating 25 years of trajectory and we want to add many more with you.
