As an individuel sport above all, tennisis undoubtedly one of the most demanding in terms of mental strength and fortitude, and when I joined the Justine Henin Academy, I expected to face what was probably a difficult period of adaptation.

Well, I found it to be an ideal environment for my personal development, not only as a player.

On the one hand, thanks to the top-quality facilities that make you feel “at home”, on the other, the warm welcome and support of the staff, both at the academy and in the residence, and then the enormous solidarity of the other boarders who help and facilitate integration into a structure where you are destined to be alone and obliged to take care of yourself.

And then there's the team....., with the administration on the one hand, which whom you obviously have less contact, and the technical team with whom you're in constant contact.

A professional team always close to the player, thanks to whom we can only progress with rigor, sweat, good humor, friendship, complicity and sometimes tears, but always with humanity to get you where you want to go thanks to their enormous experience and passion.
