Head Coach Fernando Gouveia: Precision, Power, and Progress
As we prepare for our upcoming camp in Bangalore, India, from 10th to 14th September, we are excited to highlight the coaching of our Head Coach, Fernando Gouveia. Fernando brings years of international experience and a proven ability to guide players toward technical excellence and tactical awareness on court.
In this video series, Fernando works with Akshita, one of our dedicated Indian players who has already taken part in our previous camp in India and is now continuing her development with us at our branch in Can Via. Seeing her progress under our programme, both in India and Spain, is a true reflection of the long-term growth we aim to foster in every player.
Focus of the Training: Shoulder Turn and Topspin Power
In the videos, Fernando concentrates on two key elements of modern tennis:
Staying low on the legs to build a strong and stable base.
Turning the shoulders effectively to generate controlled power.
Creating topspin by combining lower body drive with upper body rotation.
The session is carefully structured into a four-part sequence, where Fernando guides Akshita step by step:
Mastering the shoulder turn.
Engaging the legs for stability and energy.
Combining leg drive with upper body mechanics for spin.
Bringing it all together into a fluid, powerful stroke.
By the final video, all these elements merge seamlessly, showing how technical precision translates into consistent, effective shots.
This is the essence of our coaching philosophy: breaking down complex movements into clear, progressive steps, and then blending them into the natural rhythm of the game.
We are proud to share these training moments as a preview of the world-class coaching that players will experience at our September Camp in Bangalore.
