Växjö 1

This weekend will be remembered in history as the weekend when Swedish Tennis and the Academic World merged.

Henrik Ekersund, the Federations Education Officer, is bringing to sail a 10 year project. The launch of the new Coaches Education Program.

The SvTF aims to take Swedish Tennis into a new era. A new era illuminated and guided by scientific knowledge.

As the Education Officer for the Northern Region, I am more than exited about being an active part of this process, the new step that will make us a much stronger tennis nation. I have been asked to cooperate with the Stockholm Region when it comes to giving lectures, this will enrich my experiences and contacts further.

4 universities a sports academy, all 7 regions and several prominent coaches are involved in the process. The Federation is taking feedback from all important tennis profiles in the country to make of this project an inclusive one.

Let's hope that the winds of change pick up pace and race through all clubs across the nation so that we all understand the critical difference that scientific knowledge can make. Let's allow ourselves well educated coaches, let us understand the importance of investing in a tennis future!
