IMPROVE YOUR TENNIS LEVEL WITH SELF-TALK
Many times we see tennis players motivating themselves on court, with phrases like “Come on!” or “Got it!”. Or we see how they give instructions to themselves, like “Fast!”, or “Position”. Is this useful for players? Do they do this in an instinctive way, or do they learn how to do it? Normally, these kinds of techniques are part of their training and the mental work they do, which every day becomes more and more important in the professional tennis world.

Everything that you work for makes sense.

Children, fruit and vegetables
Most children and teenagers don’t eat the recommended amount of fruit and vegetables. How can we make sure our children are eating the right amount? Sergi Bonillo, Food and Beverage manager at Academia Sánchez-Casal Barcelona, talks about it.

Diary of a coach: a day in the life of teaching your children (Part 1)
When we talk about a day in the life of a coach at our Academy, we’re also talking about a day in the life of our student tennis players, because the lives of both are closely linked. A typical day is very intense: training on the court, physical fitness training, school, studying, homework. But there is also time for camaraderie, and to create relationships that will probably last for the rest of their lives.

Teaching athletes how to eat for maximum performance
