We all agreed it was a fabulous holiday/tennis coaching trip and Rupert was a great coach – we especially liked the simple warm up drills he gave us which we can do on our own or in pairs. We also liked that he quickly found the good points in all our games and encouraged us to strenghten them, even if they were not quite in the text book (Brian cross court…..), while giving us the necessary adjustments to improve various strokes. For me, I like to take away three things from each trip. From this trip, the serve and forehand adjustment Rupert made I started using at once and now will never go back to the old ways. The backhand may be harder to move out of “cognitive” but I’ll keep working on it (or come back for a second round!). I shall certainly need to come back for the smash as no doubt he will tell you!!!!!
The other Nick and Toby were delightful and the group as a whole were well chosen and we enjoyed meeting them – all of us were glad of the opportunity to mix in.
The Hotel itself was without doubt the most comfortable we have been in with warm, friendly staff and good food. We were impressed with the size of room and wide screen TV in each room as a bonus. The setting is of course fantastic.
