Saddlebrook Tennis Hopman Academy Review

So I thought after spending ten days at the Tennis camp I would write a summary, or a review of what I liked and did not like about the Saddlebrook Tennis Hopman Academy.

Things they do right

1) The instruction is top notch, I mean absolutely great you will find no better

2)  You will get into better shape they put alot of emphasis on fitness

3)  The resort and the restaurants are very good, pricey but good

4) They are extremely accommodating and grant most requests

5)  Instructors go the extra mile for you and you can get alot of private one on one time if you need to

6) The courts are well maintained

7) Your game will improve

Things they could do better

1) They should send out a letter letting you know it is physically challenging offering suggestions on how to stretch and get in shape to come.  Some of us researched the camp and knew what to expect others who did not were not ready for the physical aspect.

2) They have no Tennis attire with the Saddlebrook logo

3) They do not push match play for after hours, they could be more forward about setting this up.  I mean if you asked they set something up but never went around asking who would be interested in night play

4)  If you travel alone after tennis ends nothing organized is going on so you have to fend for yourself

All in all this is a great place to go and if you have any questions leave some comments and I will answer them

Saddlebrook Tennis Hopman Academy day 10 am and pm

This was a great way to finish my stay here at the Saddlebrook, Hopman, Tennis academy.  The drills were real intense and the instructor Tony kept the pace at a real high level.  So much so that one of the three on our court took some extra rest from time to time as myself and the other guy on our court continued on.  I feel my game has come full circle from early on in my stay when I felt it had broken down.  I was able to ask Tony and Alex, another instructor, to take some video of mys o I have a reference for when I am home.  I cannot say enough about the instructors at Saddlebrook.  They are knowledgeable, competent and have an exuberance about them that is contagious.  I still feel a little fatigue in my legs but for soreness, nope non of that.  I am glad I tried to get in reasonable shape before I went down there.  I will take some time tonight and give a good recap and go over all the pros cons and tips I can offer about the Tennis camp.  Til then I am back to work, yes I have to do it eventually…I will ramble more later
