The OTF is delighted to advise that Cyril Jacobe (VAN) has been certified as a coach of advanced players following his passing the ITF Advanced Players Coaches’ Course last month in Valencia, Spain
This course enabled Cyril to have the opportunity to watch and talk to the coaches at the Academy about the training methods they use and why they use them; he then was able to utilize what he had learnt by passing this on to the junior players that he worked with in the Academy. Feedback from the Academy tutors is that they were impressed with the positive learning environment that he created; that he showed strong ability in detecting technical, tactical, physical and psychological aspects of the game of tennis and was able to organize appropriate drills and progressions to help the players he was working with improve in these areas.
Congratulations, Cyril!
