View Junior DevelopmentFor adults & expats
Adult & Expat Coaching
For adults who want an expert check, focused drills, and clear gains. One-to-one work is open to Prague residents, staff from abroad, and guests who book an intensive training block.
View Adult CoachingTraining hard but not winning? Start with a Performance Review.
A strong academy gives court time, peers, good courts, and a set plan. A player can still stall if the main issue is not clear. Gains may also stay in drills and fail in matches. A new coach each day can make this worse.
The Remote Junior Performance Review is a structured first step. Send one full match. Leonard sends back the main issues and a written 30-90 day plan. Use it with your current coach or as the base for a short block in Prague.
It can work with your current coach or academy. You get a clear next step with no need for a fast move.
A private alternative to the large-academy model
Large academies are built for long stays, many courts, large peer groups, and more court time. Stakhovsky Tennis gives direct access to the lead coach. The work targets one clear match issue. No model is best for all players. Choose the one that solves the player's current block.
| A large academy may fit when… | Stakhovsky Tennis may fit when… |
|---|---|
| The player needs full-time immersion, boarding, school, and a large training group. | The player needs a structured diagnosis or a concentrated intervention. |
| The priority is broad training volume over a long period. | The priority is one or two clearly defined match constraints. |
| The family wants a complete institutional pathway. | The family wants continuity with the principal coach and documented next steps. |
| The player is thriving within the current system. | The player is working hard but practice gains are not appearing in matches. |
