Our last TennisTraveller exclusive camp in 2024 was another absolute camp highlight! Under the motto “Tennis ON FIRE” we were guests at the Hotel zum Mohren in Reutte in Tyrol from November 14th to 17th, 2024. Of course, the participants were on fire during the three-day tennis training with Andreas Gerstgrasser and I's Pro Tennis School. It was particularly hot during the cardio tennis, which made everyone sweat profusely and ensured a good atmosphere, but also sore muscles. But that's not all: we also put together a wonderful, "hot" supporting program away from the tennis court. The camp was timed so that it coincided with one of the absolute event highlights in Reutte. At the opening of "Reutte on Ice" rocked with Beatrice Egli and various DJs, at Ehrenberg Castle we immersed ourselves in the world of lights of the LuMagica and were able to enjoy a gourmet menu with wine accompaniment in the hotel. All in all, once again a very special exclusive camp that all participants really enjoyed. And like in the previous exclusive camps, we were a wonderful group, had a lot to talk about and laugh about - we were almost always "ON FIRE". You can find out what it looked like on the four days of camp and what we experienced in my travel report here. The excellent participant feedback made the hotel, the Pro Tennis School and of course me especially happy!

Reducing pain with a small plaster - should that work? To be honest, that was my first thought when Torsten told me about the SuperPatches. But the more detailed he explained how the plasters worked, the more I became very curious. Because non-invasive and drug-free pain relief makes more sense to me than taking painkillers. The Super Patch plasters are intended to positively support and influence various areas through tactile stimuli. There are not only pain patches, but a total of 12 different SuperPatches to increase performance and well-being. In my interview with Torsten Bonacker you will find out how the super patches work, where and how they are used and why they can be particularly interesting for us tennis players. What we can't miss, of course: the self-test and our very personal conclusion about the product. And since we are introducing the SuperPatches to you here today, you are absolutely correct in assuming that we found the patches to be good. Are you curious now too? Then read on quickly - have fun!

Sebastian is also co-developer of the online program Ready2Perform , which we will also briefly introduce to you in the interview. Because we are convinced that you can improve your skills in dealing with pressure with this program, and not just in tennis.
