The Excel Tennis Academy went through some changes since the pandemic and reached its highest number of members. This extremely professional and friendly academy in the UK constantly provides new coaching programmes but, in the meantime, keeps its personal approach. It is one of the reasons why so many former players return and start to work within the academy. 

The founder and managing director of the academy Ed Large joins us to give us a deeper insight of the operation. Also, we touch practical and theoretical subjects, and the importance of long- lasting relationships on the tennis court.
