Weekend Tennis Retreat · Tyrol, Austria
Drive from Munich or Innsbruck (INN) on Thursday afternoon for your evening assessment. Train three full days, Friday through Sunday. Go home with a solution. Private tennis coaching with NCAA National Champion and GPTCA ATP Certified Coach Bernhard Wallner.
The Concept
Most tennis problems have a clear root cause. Once we find it and rebuild it correctly, progress is fast. Three focused days are enough to make a lasting change.
Thursday Evening
You arrive in the Zillertal valley. We have already spoken on the phone, so you are not starting from zero. We go straight on court for 60 to 90 minutes to analyse and find the root cause of your problem. You also get a clear picture of how I coach and what the next three days will look like.
Friday
One long private session on court. We take what we found Thursday evening and start rebuilding the pattern from the root, with video analysis along the way so you see exactly what is changing.
Saturday
We take what we built on Friday and test it under real match conditions. Drills, live ball, match play. The new pattern has to hold when it matters. This is where the real work happens.
Sunday
Final session with match play against a hand-picked opponent I arrange, or against me personally. Playing me allows me to actively steer the match, giving you the perfect setups to execute your new patterns under realistic pressure. It's intense, highly tactical, and pure fun. Followed by a personal debrief: what changed, why it changed, and exactly how to keep developing it when you get home. You leave with a written training plan.
One Problem Per Weekend
Double faults at break points. Flat serve with no kick. Action that collapses under pressure.
The shot that breaks down in the third set. Too passive, too short, no direction under pressure.
Can't handle big servers. Getting pushed back. No rhythm from the first ball of the rally.
Always in the wrong position. Late to the ball. Recovery too slow after the wide ball.
Short ball comes and you can't put it away. Too tentative, wrong approach, error at the worst moment.
You get to the net and the point falls apart. The approach shot, the first volley, the second volley, the overhead — we build the full attacking sequence so it holds under pressure.
You practise well and compete badly. Leads disappear. The routine before each point is missing.
Not on this list? I am open to any problem in tennis. Tell me about it on a 15 minute call, and we will see together if we can fix it.
Getting Here
The Zillertal valley is two hours from Munich by car. Reachable from Innsbruck Airport (INN) in just 50 minutes. Drive down Thursday afternoon. That evening, we analyse and find the root cause of your problem. Then you train three full days, Friday through Sunday, and head home Sunday night.
Bring your family if you want. The Zillertal is a great place to spend a weekend. While you are on court giving 100%, they have the valley, the mountains, the spa and the restaurants. You train fully. They enjoy fully. Everyone wins.
Sessions run in the morning, while you are fresh. The rest of the day is yours to recover: the hotel spa, a walk in the valley, or just resting up so you are fully ready for the next morning. Accommodation is not included, but there are excellent hotels in the Zillertal, and I am happy to recommend a few, we figure out the right fit together on our call.

FAQ
Tennis has been part of my life since childhood. My father ran a tennis school. I grew up on the court and started teaching other players as a teenager. That early experience of breaking down the game and making it understandable for others shaped how I coach today.
My own playing career took me from Austria to the United States, where I competed at the highest college level and won the NCAA National Championship in 2011. I know exactly what it takes to perform under pressure. And how to build that ability in others.
After my playing career I completed the GPTCA ATP Coach Certification, one of the most respected international coaching qualifications in the sport.
Thursday evening we go straight on court for 60 to 90 minutes to analyse and find the root cause of your problem. Friday, Saturday and Sunday each bring one long private session in the morning, with video analysis built in along the way.
The rest of each day is yours to recover: the hotel spa, a walk in the valley, or just resting up for the next morning. Sunday closes with match play and your personal training plan to take home.
