Real Athletes Tennis Academy
Five years ago we went on an extensive search for the right group to work with our academy on the mental aspect of the game, this search uncovered one standout applicant and that was the Champion Academy. Their commitment and knowledge is unquestioned, they demand respect at the same time in a caring and nurturing manner. They bring enthusiasm and a sense of humour to their work and I can truly say that there results have been remarkable. Recently the Champion Academy has been chosen to be the official South African Fed Cup group to work with the players for 2014 and 2015. As you can tell I have nothing but admiration and respect for the job that has been done for the academy and the fed cup team. They would be an incredible asset to any professional position that requires there services. Earl Granger

I can recommend your approach, the personal nature of both your story and your research and the manner in which you delivered the presentation. The little me concept resonated with me and I have already referred to it in a number of conversations. Your contribution to our event was a very successful part of the day.
