Testimonials

As a tennis player, I am average. As an executive coach, I am awesome due to great experience with large international companies, start ups, etc. Your combination of technical expertise, communication skills, caring personality, etc is very rare for someone your age my friend. You are “World Class” in what you do and it was an honor for me to have spent the weekend with you." 
          - Hugh L. Sawyer, CPA, MS, PFS. Co founder and Senior Coach, SawyerOne Performance
Before the course with Dr. Kovacs, my serve speed was at maximum 85 mph. After the course, I am serving around an incredible 105 mph. Before, I was suffering with a shoulder injury that was causing a lot of pain. After the training, now I’m serving 20 mph faster, and I have no shoulder pain!"
       – Heitor Durate (from Brazil)
My serve speed increased from 80 to 102 mph. Before taking the course with Dr. Kovacs my biggest serve challenge was getting the ball to drop down into the service box when I tried to serve hard. Dr. Kovacs demonstrated how to generate power using the lower body and how to transfer that power up through the body to the ball. Now the ball explodes off my racket and consistently spins down into the service box with room to spare."
          – Perry Long (Toledo, USA)
  • “I’m on Court 6 after the Juan Carlos Ferrero match. My body feels good and I think that’s due to the work put in by my trainer, Mark Kovacs. The guy is amazing. We've been working hard the past few months, and he has definitely helped me stay prepped physically and respond to the grind. I feel better than ever, so it’s definitely paying off.”                                                                                                                                       – John Isner interview at the 2010 French Open
I'm at nearly 150 hours of study of the serve since mid-June based upon your practices and principles (stretching, strengthening, practicing the serve). Over that span of time I've hit 16,500 practice serves. My arm is live and not sore! Huge, huge progress on the serve of course. Working on placement. Working on what to do after the serve. Working on my slice serve. Thanks a lot!"        
         –    Joel H, MD

My name is Greg and I have a quick testimonial.  I play a lot of doubles in the 50+ group.  I haven’t lost a service game now in I don’t know how long."
