This is a high intensity tennis program for all levels running from June 24 to August 24 2024.
The Justine Henin Academy’s High Performance Camp is for tennis players between the ages of 12 and 18 who wish to develop their potential and train like a professional. It is an individualized, high-intensity training program, the content of which is almost identical to that offered to players following the Academy’s annual program (Tennis & Academics).
The training methodology applied during these camps was developed by Justine Henin, Carlos Rodriguez and their sports team. Drawing on their experience and knowledge of the very high level, they have developed a high performance program that encompasses all aspects of the preparation of a professional player such as
- technical and tactical mastery
- physical and mental preparation
- nutrition
- match preparation (warm-up, hydration, nutrition, cooling down)
Convinced of the benefits of team sports in the physical preparation of a tennis player (coordination, explosiveness, endurance, motivation), Justine and Carlos have also integrated this activity into the program.
To ensure individualization and quality of work, the players will train with a maximum of 3 players per court.
The High Performance Camp is supervised by Carlos Rodriguez himself and his sports team.
Carlos will give two tactical sessions per week to the players of the program.
The program includes 5 days of intensive training, 1 morning of matches (on Saturday) and 6 overnight stays (arrival on Sunday afternoon and departure on Saturday noon).
The player can choose one or more weeks of training. The program is different every week (during a three week period).
- 8× Clay courts
- 6× Hard courts
