Global Tennis Team International Academy. A tennis academy and summer camp offering lessons and clinics. Located in Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain.
The training is scheduled by seasons (years). We work in groups of a maximum of four players and with personalized objectives depending on each player’s level, needs, and ambition. Everything is studied. We do not leave anything to chance, from the duration and form of the training to each workday’s most insignificant moments. The concept is simple, to achieve objectives, you have to adapt. How flexible, smart, and fast that adaptation is, we will be more effective.
We constantly promote this adaptability, and we believe that if we create an environment in specific conditions, we will achieve its development sooner. The work environment must be serious and harsh. This is not a Disney film. There are moments to laugh and others to cry, but always under a serious and demanding work atmosphere. We work with unusual and novel methods such as graphology to know and shape our players’ character. We use lateral techniques, biomechanics, slow motion cameras, personalized videos, etc. Everything at your service. We believe in what we do, and we like it. We try to surround ourselves with passionate people who enjoy what they do. It is also possible to hire one of our training packages, differentiating between Stage and Long-term duration and your accommodation and/or training needs.
