Testimonials
“Playing on the French tour was a fantastic experience. I was playing in France for two months and my game greatly improved because I had many high quality matches and competed against different types of players. Also- playing on red clay is always fun and a good way to work on consistency and fitness. In addition, I loved the relationships I built and people I met while traveling through the beautiful country that is France. I would highly encourage the experience to anyone who is serious about improving their game and wants to learn about other cultures. Training that Gustavo provided gave me confidence to compete at a higher level and he helped me feel more comfortable playing on red clay. Also, the players were all highly motivated and encouraged each other every day at practice. Gustavo Gomez brought together players with different playing styles, from different countries, which ultimately raised the level of my game”

Despite spending only a short time with Gustavo, his warm heart immediately made me feel at home. The tennis level in Rouen is one of a large variety. This allows a player to be able to train with different styles of play, while being personally coached by Gustavo or one of his team members. Aside from learning a lot about my tennis game, I was also able to learn responsibilities through living in an apartment with my younger sister. Although there was always a staff member near by, we were challenged to be independent which I thoroughly enjoyed. Gustavo is a genuinely caring person who wants the best for all his students and I would recommend his academy to anyone looking for a challenging, fun and professional time”

“Ir a Francia ha sido una experiencia increíble que me ha ayudado a ver el mundo de otra manera. Este viaje no solo me ha ayudado tenísticamente pero también como persona. Yo he hecho muchas amistades que nunca olvidaré. Todo allá es de primera tanto como las instalaciones y el grupo de coaches. Gustavo es una gran persona y entrenador que siempre está al tanto de las cosas y siempre te hace sentir como en casa.”
