Una semana después de Wimbledon
The thrill of Wimbledon lingers long after the final ball has been struck, and for us at the RA Tennis Academy in Cala Millor, this year's Wimbledon season extended its excitement well into August. With our head coach Rosa - our ex-professional tennis player - representing Spain in the seniors tournament, it was a week of both challenges and exhilarating success on and off the court. Not only was it a proud moment for Rosa and her team in London, but it was also an intensely busy week back at the academy, where our hands were full with enthusiastic players, despite the holiday season.
Echemos un vistazo más profundo a la semana posterior a Wimbledon, celebrando la destacada actuación de Rosa y destacando las actividades en RA Tennis Academy.
La notable carrera de Rosa en Londres
Del 5 al 9 de agosto, Rosa representó a España en el torneo de mayores en Londres. Rosa, nuestra talentosa entrenadora, siempre ha sido más que una simple entrenadora; su experiencia y capacidad mental como tenista profesional le dan una perspectiva única del juego que comparte con los jugadores de nuestra academia. En Londres demostró una vez más por qué es una inspiración tanto dentro como fuera de la cancha.
El viaje de Rosa en el torneo fue increíble. La selección española luchó en partidos difíciles, enfrentándose a oponentes feroces y protagonizando remontadas impresionantes. Uno de los momentos más memorables fue en el primer partido de Rosa, donde se encontró perdiendo 5-2 en el set final. Para muchos, esto habría sido un desafío casi imposible. Pero Rosa demostró la tenacidad y la fuerza mental que define a un campeón. En un emocionante cambio de rumbo, logró recuperarse, punto por punto, y finalmente consiguió una reñida victoria.
Her efforts, along with those of her teammates, propelled the Spanish team to the semi-finals - a significant achievement in such a competitive field. Although the journey ended at the semi-finals, the experience was a testament to the perseverance, skill, and sportsmanship that Rosa has always embodied. It was a great week in London for Rosa and her colleagues, and the success of her team is a story we’ll be sharing with the academy’s players for a long time.
De regreso a RA Tennis Academy: una semana de energía y entusiasmo
Mientras Rosa competía en Londres, la Academia de Tenis de RA estaba llena de actividad. A pesar de ser temporada de vacaciones y de que gran parte de nuestro personal estaba ausente, las canchas estaban llenas. Nuestra academia siempre ha sido un lugar de energía y desarrollo, y la semana pasada no fue la excepción.
With players of all ages flocking to our courts, we were reminded that tennis is more than just a sport - it's a passion that drives people to improve, even during their holidays. The busy week stretched our resources, but our dedicated team rose to the challenge, ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to play, learn, and grow.
We welcomed an incredible number of players to the academy during this time, from eager beginners to advanced competitors looking to fine-tune their skills. The influx of students - combined with the absence of some of our staff - meant long hours and intense days, but it was a joy to work with such motivated individuals. Seeing the dedication and improvement of our students is what keeps us going, and last week was a perfect reminder of why we do what we do.
La Academia de Tenis: Desarrollando Jugadores de Todos los Niveles
En RA Tennis Academy, nos enorgullecemos de ofrecer entrenamiento personalizado que atiende a jugadores de todos los niveles, ya sean niños que recién comienzan su viaje en el tenis o adultos que buscan perfeccionar su técnica. El revuelo posterior a Wimbledon ha atraído a aún más jugadores a nuestras canchas, ansiosos por entrenar después de inspirarse en el legendario torneo.
Para nuestros jugadores más jóvenes, enfatizamos la importancia de tener fundamentos sólidos, centrándonos en el juego de pies, el control de la raqueta y los aspectos mentales del juego. Wimbledon sirve como una gran herramienta de enseñanza, ya que animamos a nuestros jugadores a observar y aprender de los profesionales. Ver a Rosa competir y triunfar en el escenario internacional sólo sirvió para reforzar la importancia de la disciplina y la resiliencia.
Meanwhile, our adult players benefitted from more advanced strategy sessions, working on match tactics, stamina, and mental toughness. Rosa’s comeback victory in London served as a focal point in our lessons on mental fortitude. We teach our players to stay calm under pressure, focus on the process, and never give up - lessons that Rosa embodies and that can make all the difference in a match.
Ha sido increíblemente gratificante ver a nuestros jugadores adoptar estas lecciones y aplicarlas a sus propios juegos. Si bien el tenis en la academia sigue siendo exigente, está claro que todos trabajan para lograr sus objetivos con un compromiso inquebrantable.
Preparándose para el futuro: las próximas dos semanas en la Academia
Mientras miramos hacia las próximas dos semanas, estamos ansiosos por continuar aprovechando el impulso de Wimbledon y la increíble actuación de Rosa en Londres. El calendario de la academia está repleto de sesiones de entrenamiento, partidos y una variedad de talleres especializados diseñados para promover el desarrollo de nuestros jugadores. Aunque parte de nuestro personal todavía está de vacaciones, la academia sigue en pleno funcionamiento y estamos emocionados de ver lo que nos depararán las próximas semanas.
También nos estamos preparando para una serie de minitorneos que brindarán a nuestros jugadores la oportunidad de poner a prueba sus habilidades en un entorno competitivo. Estos torneos son una excelente manera para que los jugadores adquieran experiencia, aprendan de sus errores y celebren sus victorias, como lo hizo Rosa durante su semana en Londres. La atención se centrará en fomentar el amor por la competición, así como en enseñar a los jugadores cómo manejar tanto ganar como perder con gracia y dignidad.
El entusiasmo y el entusiasmo en la academia son palpables y estamos ansiosos por ver el progreso que harán nuestros jugadores en las próximas semanas. Con Wimbledon todavía fresco en la mente de todos, el entusiasmo por el tenis está en su punto más alto y nos sentimos honrados de ser parte de la trayectoria de nuestros jugadores.
