Boy's 16 & 18 Mini-Camp


The staff and I just finished an extremely energetic three day mini camp for some of the Midwest’s highest ranked players. Invitations were mailed out several weeks ago to the top ranked boys in the 16 and 18 divisions of the currents USTA seeding lists.

27 juniors were selected to participate and they traveled to our academy for the weekend. Our theme for the camps was to structure the workouts very similar to a daily collegiate team practice.

Co-Directing this camp with me was former Northwestern University Head Men’s Coach and HTA Special Advisor, Paul Torricelli. Assisting us were HTA Head Coaches Ben Pettinari, Jackie Jenkins, and Peter Heckler. The two special guests for the camp were University of Minnesota Men's Tennis Coach Geoff Young and Dallas based High Performance Coach and Mental Expert Craig O'Shannessy.

I kept a complete diary of the weekend's events and it can be found at HerrmannTennisAcademy.com.
