The Coach

In 1978, Nick Bollettieri founded the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy.  The Academy was the first full-time boarding school of its kind, dedicated to preparing student/athletes for college within an environment that combined intense tennis training with a specially designed academic curriculum.  By combining specialized performance training and mental conditioning with technical and strategic training on court, the Bollettieri team builds athletes who thrive in the competitive arena.  It was this proven method that Nick used to coach nine #1 tennis players in the world - Agassi, Becker, Courier, Hingis, Rios, Seles, the Williams sisters and Maria Sharapova.

Distance Learning (DL): This program makes Nick available for private lessons delivered via innovative video technology.  The program lasts for nine months during which time the player sends Nick and his DL staff a 30-minute video each month.  Nick leads a team of professionals - mental, physical, tactical and strategic.  Each contributes comments, tips and suggestions on how to improve all aspects of the player’s game.  The entire session is taped and returned to the player.  The program encourages an ongoing dialog between the player, Nick and his DL staff via email.
