Nadal, who is preparing for his comeback in the 2024 season, never imagined that because of the blatant accusation of a female student, his originally well-known tennis academy would be pushed to the forefront overnight.
They train for a long time, Tony is very committed, he trains me a lot. Their philosophy is the same as Rafa's, they train a lot, they don't rest very much, they focus completely on the field, which causes a lot of injuries because no one has Rafa's physique. A lot of us can't keep up with the rhythm of training five hours a day with no days off. When the girl, Gellings, couldn't accept the almost hellish training mode of the Nadal Tennis Academy, she chose to leave and give an interview to "Punto de Break", revealing the inside story of Nadal's tennis academy training, ** was in an uproar.
The Spanish legend Nadal, who holds 22 Grand Slam titles, has a lot of properties under his name, but any of them seem to be as famous as Nadal's tennis academy. After Nadal became famous in the tennis world, this tennis academy was once known as one of the cradles for cultivating future champions and superstars in the tennis world.
Due to Nadal's great success in the tennis world, the fame of the tennis academy with the legendary name of Spain has also risen, attracting many people to train, and many young players yearn for it, hoping that one day they will enter the Nadal Tennis Academy to study Xi success and become a tennis superstar like Nadal.
Even though Nadal has been out for almost the entire season this year, the attention of his tennis academy has not diminished at all. After the world No. 1 Swiatek successfully defended his title at the French Open this year, he worked tirelessly to stand on the platform for the graduation ceremony of his idol Nadal's tennis academy, which attracted strong attention from the world's top players at that timeIn addition, the Swiss king Federer also sent his children to the tennis academy to learn Xi, which caused a huge sensation. These two events alone have once again made the popularity of the Nadal Tennis Academy soar to the sky, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of the world.
Just when everyone was optimistic that Nadal Tennis Academy still had huge room for development on the basis of its current popularity, they did not expect that now because of Gellins's words, Nadal and his tennis academy have been questioned and criticized by the outside world.
After revealing the Nadal Tennis Academy's training model to Punto de Break, Gellings emphasized that the academy trains every student as if they were Nadal. The reason why she can't accept it is that Nadal is just an exception, not everyone has Nadal's physique, "copying Nadal's training method like this will increase the risk of injury infinitely." ”
In fact, Gellins believes that injuries are easy under this training philosophy, and it can be summed up in one sentence: too much training and very little time to rest.
After this incident was disclosed to the public, many fans and netizens also thought that this training method was very problematic. Because anyone who knows a little bit about tennis knows that although high-intensity training can improve the skill level of players, if you don't get enough rest, injuries are inevitable. This is the same as when players play high-intensity games, if they are not well rested, it will not only increase the accumulation of fatigue, but also reduce people's concentration, and the probability of injury will definitely increase significantly.
Some fans and netizens said that if Nadal's tennis academy really has a problem like what Gellings said, "then it's not about cultivating talent for the tennis world, but about destroying talented teenagers or players, which is too incredible." ”
Rest and recovery are essential elements of physical and mental health, and the best way to avoid injury or illness. Some fans and netizens said.
While Gellins doesn't agree with Nadal's training philosophy, especially when she sees very limited time off, she does say that if you're really tired, "they'll give you a break." ”
For the flawed training methods of the Nadal Tennis Academy, Gherlings also gave his own suggestions for improvement, "Since everyone has the same training time, I think what they need is to know each player more clearly, to analyze and understand them more, to decide what is the best training plan for everyone. ”
Although Gherlins's approach seems reasonable, in the eyes of fans and netizens, it is still very difficult to get Nadal to accept this suggestion and implement it, because there are too many people. Even Gellins admits that it is extremely difficult to develop a personal training plan for so many people at once.
Although he chose to end his cooperation with Nadal Tennis Academy because he was dissatisfied with the training method of the Academy, Gellings also admitted in the interview that the experience at Nadal Tennis Academy was not completely rewarding, "They also made it easier for me to learn Xi;If at home, the situation will be different. ”
Gherlings is currently ranked 752nd in the world. The Nadal Tennis Academy turmoil caused by her is currently very hot, and the outside world is also expecting President Nadal to come forward to respond to Gellins's accusations that there is really a training method that can easily lead to injuries to students.
