Tough Tennis Academy
Mark’s training base is located at the Tough Tennis Academy (TTA), less than 8 miles from downtown Naples, FL. The TTA has been working with juniors and adults for over 25 years. Ronen Graziani and Vimal Petal have been coaching tirelessly to improve the players coming through their programs. Mark now joins them, working with his own clients and adding more experience on the courts for everyone. The facility is comprised of three Har-Tru soft courts and two asphalt hard courts. Mark coaches on either surface, but prefers the softer courts. Mark’s coaching and training consists of individual and small group workouts lasting from 1-2 hours per session. The normal lesson materials are covered (player history, healthy review, past competition experience) as well as a review of the player’s basic foundation of strokes, footwork, and strategy. Here are other areas Mark works on that are generally NOT touched by other coaches / pros:
Between point management
Coach vs. Player roles in match play
Devising different game plans
Increasing the player’s skills of his tools in his “toolbox”
Covering “What-if” scenarios
Technique details that are so important but rarely practiced
Easy fixes for problem areas…using “Mistake Management 101”
Practice habits that truly make a difference in match play
The “2-year plan”
Mark’s unique ability to diagnose a player’s weaknesses quickly is their start to becoming a better player. This becomes quite evident in just the first session on court. While not performing miracles, Mark can help you realize your dream of rapid game improvement.
