Combine a high-level tennis program with flexible schooling program.
Description
The Justine Henin Academy’s Tennis & Academics program is aimed at tennis players between the ages of 12 and 18 who wish to train like professionals while combining this with flexible and quality schooling. The program offers individualised, high-intensity training and academic support adapted to the demands of the top level.
The training methodology has been developed by Justine Henin, Carlos Rodriguez and their sports team. Drawing on their experience and knowledge of the very high level, they have developed a high performance program that encompasses all aspects of the preparation of a professional player such as
- Technical and tactical mastery
- Physical and mental preparation
- Nutrition
- Match preparation (warm-up, hydration, nutrition, cooling down)
To ensure individualisation and quality of work, players will train with a maximum of 3 players per court.
The Tennis & Academics program is supervised by Carlos Rodriguez himself and his sports team. Justine is also present on average two to three times a week on the courts with the players.
