Dealing with criticism is a sensitive and important topic for us tennis players, both on and off the court. It's also an equally important topic for our TennisTravellerpartners – hoteliers and camp organizers. Given recent events, I'd like to briefly report on what I consider to be the exemplary way a tennis camp organizer handled negative criticism.
Over Easter, I was in South Tyrol with my family for preseason training. While part of the family was sweating it out the European Tennis Academy's tennis camp TennisTraveller hotels. After all, maintaining personal contact with our TennisTraveller hotels is very important , and we try to cultivate it as best we can, time permitting. And of course, there's always something new happening at the hotels!
"I can hardly believe it!!!!" – that was Nicola's reaction to our news that she was the winner of the active weekend at the TennisTraveller Hotel ROYAL-X on Lake Millstatt in Carinthia. Together with her husband and son, she will surely spend a wonderful weekend in Carinthia. Nicola's whole family is tennis-mad in the best possible way – including herself.
The fifth and final day of training at the European Tennis Academy Naturns tennis camp in South Tyrol. What about the early bird? The kids didn't catch the worm at 8:30 this morning, but they certainly learned a lot about tactical maneuvers in singles . And they bravely and with great motivation defied the cold and early morning fatigue!
Under sunny skies, we headed to the courts in Naturns at 10 a.m. on day four – with coach Joe from the European Tennis Academy . Today's camp diary entry is very special – because our Mia wrote it herself! Are you as curious as we are to see what a typical camp day looks like from a child's perspective? Then read on!
Training on the third day of the tennis camp with the European Tennis Academy in Naturns started at 8:30 a.m. today. Although the sun was shining, it was still quite cold. Therefore, the team decided to hold the first session indoors.
Today's training session should focus on the serve and return – two shots without which a victory is hardly possible. And despite this knowledge, they are practiced far too little in so many training sessions – especially the return.
The weather wasn't exactly on our side today for the start of training on day two of the tennis camp with the European Tennis Academy . Since it was only 8 degrees Celsius at 10 a.m. and an icy wind was blowing, coach Alex decided to move the training session indoors. It was great that this was possible – the beautiful and bright four-court hall with carpet and granules is, of course, perfectly suited for this.
After a warm-up with ball coordination exercises, the kids were not only warmed up but also completely focused. Today's focus was on "Minimizing Unforced Errors - Gaining More Confidence ." Relaxed practice on a small court with directional instructions went quite well, with no errors, and the goal was to return three balls at least 60 times.
Day 1 at the tennis camp with the European Tennis Academy in Naturns, South Tyrol. The sun was indeed shining at the start of training, but the temperatures weren't exactly spring-like. However, this didn't dampen the good spirits of the three motivated young tennis players at the start of the camp.
Alex greeted the kids and they started with a relaxed warm-up on the small court. Even during the warm-up from the baseline, two key points established: exhaling while hitting and smoothly following through the hit to the final position . The children were to concentrate on these two points from now on.
