When we woke up today, the sun was shining after the continuous rain that night. But unfortunately the joy was short-lived, as a thunderstorm fell during the warm-up, so that all the pitches were immediately flooded. Unusual for this time of year, but no reason to take a break Ljubicic Tennis Academy As planned, after the first hour of fitness, we went to tennis training on the four hard courts in the hall. what happened on the fifth and final day of camp and how the rest of the family used the day in and around the Vitality Hotel Punta in the fifth and final part of the Camp Diaries.
The weather forecast for today was clear: rain from morning to night. But as the coaches from the Ljubicic Tennis Academy told us, there is not only a healing but also a microclimate here on the island. "As long as it's windy, it won't rain here," said head coach Luka, and he was right. It wasn't a sunny, warm day, but it stayed dry until the end of training in the afternoon. This meant the kids were able to complete their planned training program outdoors. Consistency was the topic for coach Mario Visek this morning. I had the opportunity to have a hotel talk with Ivanka Ajlec , the general manager of Vitality Hotel Punta , our beautiful camp hotel. You can read what else was going on in part four of our camp diaries.
Don't jump and move! Two announcements that could be heard again and again intensive camp at the Ljubicic Tennis Academy Coach Darko had recognized two "adjusting screws" in Tom's game. Less "jumping" when hitting and being constantly in motion. We also worked on this today - with success! On Wednesday the Academy only trains in the morning, so today it was over after the morning fitness session and 1.5 hours of tennis. “Recovery” is the order of the day on Wednesday afternoons. So we had time in the afternoon to explore the beautiful island. Among other things, we went to Mali Lošinj , which is exactly on the other side of the island. You can find out what was going on today in terms of sport and tourism in part three of our camp diary.
Day two of the intensive camp at the Ljubicic Tennis Academy in Veli Lošinj. The training plan was the same as the first day. So after a hearty breakfast at 8 a.m. we went to the gym of the Ljubicic Tennis Academy in the Punta Vitality Hotel for a one-hour warm-up with fitness coach Oskar Amančić. All the kids were fully motivated at the start and it stayed that way throughout the day. The second day of training ended at 5:30 p.m. And despite the initial tiredness, Tom is on fire! exactly what happened and what I learned in a detailed conversation with head coach Luka Cvjetković , Jannik Sinner's long-time tour coach, in my second camp diary entry. Have lots of fun with it!
After we arrived here on the beautiful island of Lošinj last Saturday and were able to enjoy two days of vacation and “settling in” in our camp hotel Punta Vitality Hotel intensive camp at Ljubicic Tennis today at 8 a.m Academy in Veli Lošinj. Excited and full of motivation, we headed towards the fitness room with our tennis gear packed. So much in advance: the first day of camp in the best tennis weather was quite something.
We decided quite spontaneously to go to the island of Lošinj in Croatia at Easter. The deciding factor for this was the Ljubicic Tennis Academy , which has been located in Veli Lošinj since 2021. Our son Tom will take part in intensive training there. A week of pure tennis and fitness - that's on the program. The Academy's motto "BE YOUR BEST" will also be Tom's motto. Give it your all and have fun. He is excited about everything that awaits him on and off the tennis courts. The rest of the family is also really looking forward to getting to know the “Vitality Island” with its beauty and healing climate, playing a bit of tennis and going on holiday.
5 days of intensive training and you can follow everyday camp life and much more via our camp diary - not quite live, but almost and with lots of sound, text and color!

Admittedly, the market for sports supplements is quite large and confusing, so it is not so easy to find the right product.
This year we have therefore decided to shed a little light into the darkness and clarify for whom and when nutritional supplements make sense. Today we'll start by introducing you to the Orthomol Sport drinking bottle, a real all-rounder when it comes to supplements.
Playing and studying tennis at a US college is a big dream for many young tennis players. To make your big dream come true, many US universities offer tennis scholarships. With this significant financial support, many tennis players from all over the world can fulfill their dream of playing college tennis every year. But who can actually apply for a tennis scholarship at a US college ? How does it all work? And there are countless other question marks that my husband and I had on our faces at the beginning of the year when, completely unexpectedly, our daughter Mia expressed her desire to study in the USA and play college tennis.
Over the next few months we will take you on Mia's journey to US college .
So that you get an idea of everything that needs to be done, thought about and prepared. Both as a future “student-athlete” but also as a parent. In the first part of our series we will tell you how Mia's wish came about, how we took the first steps towards it and what decisions have already been made. So much in advance: it was an extremely exciting start!
The fact that gentle strengthening exercises, relaxation and meditation techniques are a perfect match for tennis is nothing new . Yoga, Pilates and meditation are omnipresent in the professional sector, but they also offer a lot of potential for every amateur player that can pay off not only on the tennis court. Many camp organizers have now recognized this and offer holistic tennis camps in which, in addition to tennis, there is also a lot of stretching, strengthening and yes, even meditation. For example, at MasterCamp by Patrik Kühnen in the Kalimera Kriti Hotel & Village Resort on Crete , which takes place in May.
We asked Patrik why a holistic camp experience with tennis, yoga, Pilates and meditation can be so valuable for every participant and how he practices yoga, Pilates and meditation in his private life.
Feel free to listen to his video messages!
