Learn from Warwick Bashford –
One of the World’s Top Pro Coaches

Warwick Bashford, Olympia Tennis Camp’s Head Coach, has achieved the kind of worldwide acclaim reserved for only a handful of tennis coaches.

He’s coached Michael Chang, Amelie Mauresmo and Marcus Baghdatti. 

Former WTA #1 player Amelie Mauresmo credited her own two-year rise from around 130 in the world rankings to her first Grand Slam final to the fact she had “learned how to take risks,” from Warwick, who coached her as she rose to the top. 

At the Olympia Tennis Camp, Warwick will share his deep knowledge with you so you can compete at a higher level when you return home.

Born in South Africa and educated in London, England, Warwick began his career in tennis on the European Circuits. He soon learned his real interest was in the technical, psychological and physical intricacies of the game. This mental side of tennis is what he has used to help top players get to the top.

Warwick has been featured in CNBC, FOX, The Miami Herald, The Boston Globe, and many others.

Helping clients reach their potential through his Championship Mindset Training technique, Warwick Bashford’s coaching will help you win on and off the court.

Warwick coached at the Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Paris.

The Right Coach Makes a Huge Difference

There’s a world of difference between the typical tennis club instructor and a professional tennis coach.

Very few golf pros or club-level tennis instructors have a deep understanding of sports psychology, mental toughness, kinesiology or biomechanics. Consequently, although they mean well, many times they teach in a way that hurts their students.

It’s common for them to try to “justify” their hourly rate by constantly giving instructions – which only confuses and overwhelms their students.

Olympic and pro-level coaches understand that students and athletes of every level respond better to a teaching tempo that allows them to mentally relax and achieve a peak state of mind.

They understand that the words they use when explaining a concept to their students have the power to create positive or negative mental pictures. So every word out of their mouths is designed to elicit a specific outcome.

Plus, their knowledge of biomechanics and kinesiology allows then to understand how a change in foot position will create a chain reaction impacting the ankle, the knee, the hips, the arms and ultimately what the body does. So they teach in a simpler way that results in faster progress.

Warwick and his team will transform the way you think and will help you reach a new level of tennis.
