Two tennis sessions and 2 fitness sessions per day, mental coaching, nutritional follow-up, physical therapy and medical support are key to "Reach your potential". For the Pro Track Program, boarding and non-boarding are available the whole year, but the places are limited.

The Justine Henin Academy welcomes players who have ambitious goals for personal development and tennis career. They should be fully committed to this one and be ready to work hard to achieve their goal. The Pro team program, boarding and non-boarding are available the entire year.

Justine Henin and her team of coaches work closely together to give to each player the resources needed to reach their full potential. We are passionate about quality which is why we focus on small working groups, team spirit, individual programs, goal setting and an individual tennis tournament program for each category and level in Belgium and abroad (Tennis Europe, ITF Juniors, ATP&WTA, National Belgian circuit).
