Centercourt Instructors
Favorite sport memory/moment/event is…..after coaching for a few years in Alicante, Juan Carlos Ferrero began to build his tennis academy. At that time Ferrero had not yet achieved a world #1 ranking and was only a very good junior player transitioning to the pro circuit. I saw how that academy was built from the ground up and realized that great dreams cannot be achieved unless one takes great chances and is willing to fail. It taught me that a great tennis academy is not just built on bricks and steel but it is built on its values.
