31 Oct Tennis Coaching & Fitness

Sat. 27th and Sun. 28th October

As well as the mind we need to attend to the body and the Tennis Committee are delighted to welcome back to Carrickmines, Mike James who many of us met with earlier in the year,  for what was considered a very productive coaching session. Mike focused very much on the production of a good pure strike for your shot and we look forward to having him work with our various groups again. Mike is accompanied by Jonny Fraser a master physical trainer who works with tennis players. Jonny we hope will give us many pointers and exercises focused on tennis fitness. A schedule is being organised to accommodate as many people as possible. Please contact Pat, Imelda or Gerry if you wish to be included.

Jonny Fraser: ITPA Master Physical trainer & worked with a number of ITF & WTA Junior & Senior players.

Mike James:  Claudio Pistolesi Enterprise Travelling Coach & Tennis Analyst for ATP.

It was great to welcome Mike James, a technical specialist and analyst back to Carrickmines to work with all ages and levels of players. Mike was here last April and this time was accompanied by Jonny Fraser, ITPA Master Physical trainer with both working on the ATP tour. The classes were open to all members and was a great learning experience.
