Who are the private lessons for?
Stakhovsky Tennis has different routes for local adults, competitive juniors and visitors. Leonard Stakhovsky first checks the player's level and goal, rather than putting everyone into the same program.
- Adults and expats: build a more reliable game around work and life in Prague. See adult tennis coaching for beginner enquiries, returning players and club or league goals.
- Competitive juniors: connect technique, match analysis and tournament preparation in the junior development program.
- Visiting players: plan a focused adult training block or junior camp before booking travel.
A local group course may fit better if your main goal is social tennis or a lower cost per lesson. A residential academy may offer more sparring partners, school and boarding. Compare the formats before committing to private coaching.
How do the first sessions work?
Leonard Stakhovsky's assessment at Stakhovsky Tennis checks strokes, footwork and match choices. You get a short written plan. If you choose to train further, you work on those goals in drills and live points. Then the coach checks what has changed.
- Assess: find what breaks down and record a starting point.
- Plan: choose the main changes and the time you can give to practice.
- Train: build the change, then use it in points rather than drills alone.
- Review: compare video and match evidence, then adjust the plan.
Agree how often to train and when to review. A request does not book a slot. The coach's playing record is not a promise of your results.
What results can you check?
The Stakhovsky Tennis case studies show work by Leonard Stakhovsky with individual players. Ales's record reports top forehand speed increasing from 98 to 120 km/h over two months. Aman's six-day block reports average forehand speed increasing from 91 to 104 km/h.
These are the coach's measurements, not an outside study or a forecast. Read how each result was measured and its limits. A faster shot alone does not prove better match results.
