Our Coaching Philosophy:

Technique and movement are the cornerstones of a great tennis game these days!

For junior players, it is critical to optimize your technique for long-term results and staying injury free!
This can sometimes mean bigger changes and taking more time away from competition.

For example, several years ago, Florian helped Carina Witthöft transform her technique at the age of 14 with a major forehand grip change as well as an overhaul of her entire serve technique. She stayed out of competition for almost 6 months and later became a top 50 player in the world!

For professional players, we specialize in finding minimal technical changes that can have a big impact. These changes should not keep the player out of competition more than a few days or a few weeks at most.

In today’s game, there is no room for a technical weakness. All you have to do is look at Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner dominating the sport with great technique and great movement.
