About Leonard Stakhovsky - tennis coach background and credentials →What makes Stakhovsky Tennis different from regular tennis coaching?
Unlike standard hourly lessons, Stakhovsky Tennis begins with a diagnostic assessment, builds a structured development plan with ranked priorities, and ensures every session has a biomechanical reason and measurable outcome - from technical correction to tactical match-pattern coaching, all delivered to the same standard for local and international players.
Assessment Before Prescription
Every player starts with a 90-minute performance assessment. Leonard identifies the real technical, movement, and tactical gaps before building a development plan. No guessing. No generic drills.
Structured Development Plan
After the assessment, you receive a written plan with clear priorities - ranked by impact. Each session has a defined purpose and measurable outcome.
Technical Clarity, Not Generic Repetition
Leonard provides precise technical feedback - what is wrong, why, and how to fix it. Sessions are not random hitting; every drill has a biomechanical reason.
Tactical and Match-Pattern Coaching
Technique transfers to match conditions. Leonard works on decision-making, point construction, pressure habits, and tactical patterns that win points when they matter.
International Training Destination in Prague
Players and families travel from different countries to train with Leonard in Prague. The coaching is structured and assessment-led - relevant for locals and international players alike.
Who is Stakhovsky Tennis best for?
Stakhovsky Tennis works best for players who want structured improvement - locals in Prague, international players visiting for focused coaching, expats needing English-speaking instruction, juniors seeking technical and tactical development, adults who have plateaued, and competitive players preparing for tournaments.
Who is Stakhovsky Tennis not for?
Stakhovsky Tennis is not the right fit for players looking for the cheapest available lesson, casual hitting without feedback, or a generic group tennis school. The coaching requires a willingness to receive direct technical feedback, change established habits, and commit to consistent practice between sessions.

Every player begins with a 90-minute on-court assessment where Leonard diagnoses stroke mechanics, movement patterns, tactical decision-making, and physical baseline. From there he builds a written development plan with clear priorities, followed by private coaching sessions that each have a defined purpose and measurable outcome, with regular progress reviews.

Book a 90-Minute AssessmentThe research behind this approach
In controlled tennis research, players given individualised, learner-controlled video feedback improved their tactical performance significantly more, and retained it better a week later, than players on a fixed, one-size-fits-all feedback schedule. (Self-controlled video feedback facilitates the learning of tactical skills in tennis)
The arithmetic of attention is simple. A strong academy typically runs one coach to four or five players in drilling, and junior group programmes often around 6:1, which works out at roughly ten to twenty minutes of direct instruction in a paid hour. One-to-one is about sixty. (Tennis schools vs individual coaching: coaching ratios in practice)
