Grand Slam

“Yes?”

The marble surprised me.

The fluffy facial clerk explained it to the marble again.

“Junior courses were explained by age. ”

Here's what the employee said:

7-13 years old, 14-17 years old, over 18 years old. That's half of all three.

Especially as we go up, there are many children who are close to the pros. The quartz entered the age of 14-17 next week and said he had to undergo training and tournaments. This is unusual, but the coach explains that it is not a very absurd situation.

“I understand. I'll do that. ”

However, for the marble who had been too disappointed in the previous tournament, the employee's proposal was truly welcome.

“Oh, and... if you don't mind, I'd like to ask how many coaches can accommodate your request……. ”

“What demands? ”

“It measures all physical abilities from head to toe. He wants to measure all of the skills required in tennis, including eye, cardiopulmonary function. I think it would be good for the party to know. ”

“Good. I'll take that, too. ”

The staff nodded satisfactorily.

“First, I will explain the main facilities of the Academy. ”

* * *

Myrtle and Jinhee followed the clerk with excitement.

It was not even 50 meters from the hard-coat site that was good enough to fit my feet well, so the coat showed up again to cover the eyes of marble and Jinhee.

“Oh.”

I couldn't help but admire the spectacle in front of my eyes.

Twenty red clay courts were situated.

“Like the hard coat, the clay coat has twenty sides. Likewise, we pride ourselves on top-notch coats. Oh, you can go down and check it out. ”

Quartz and Jinhee went down and felt their coats.

The marble loosens its feet a few times and runs at a terrifying speed. And then I made a quick stop.

Shhhhhhh!

Traces of marble slip as long as tire tracks.

"Claycoat said it tasted good - over 2010, Claycoat was often regarded as the official court of competition. This is the best coat I've ever seen. Hard-coats twenty, claycodes twenty... You said there were 50 sides to it, so the other ten would be grass and Indoor coats. ’

As you guessed, the lawn coat welcomed the group.

“With global trends, the number of lawn coats is low. Even with Wimbledon by Major, the grass falls from the audience's satisfaction. ”

Followed by a description of the clerk

“But Wimbledon manages just as well as quality. It's almost a complete loss, but it's right to remain in the Academy's shoes. ”

‘Yes.'

The clerk was right.

The future trends are hardcoats and clay coats. In particular, Claycourt can enjoy a longer rally game in the audience because once the ball is bounced, it slows down dramatically. Later on, in the highlight video, we could see the rally over three or four minutes.

The last group arrives at the Indian Court.

Indian is literally a hard-coat that sits indoors. The Royal Palace, which usually concludes the year, is held in Indian languages. Although the ball is slightly slower than the lawn coat, it is slightly faster than the outdoor hardcoat, and there is no environmental variable above all, so athletes' skills are expanded in glamour.

“All excellent. ”

The marble was greatly satisfied.

Florida facilities in the '90s are much better than those in Korea when they were 30 years old.

I was filled with a yearning to grow my skills whilst swinging these coats quickly.

“We still need to make a few more stops. Let's hurry.”

The clerk seemed a little tired.

“Yes. Let's go. ”

Since then it has been a fitness training facility.

There was so much space in the room, there were all kinds of exercise equipment.

“Basically, there are about thirty prestigious trainers living there. It's where we train our bodies through their rigorous maps. It's strictly ‘tennis’ training, so there are a lot of different instruments that are a little different from other GYMs. ”

Then I saw the pool.

There were over 20 25m lanes.

“Like a fitness training facility, it is up to you to decide whether or not to take part. There are ten coaches who are skilled in various laws. ”

By this time, I was worried about how much money this academy would have to receive from its participants to maintain the facility. Although my parents are upscale in Korea, marble has a "feeling" as a player. It will probably be millions in 4 weeks. I don't know the details of Jinhee's department, but I was worried that it would be quite a burden.

That doesn't mean the Academy takes the hit. From facility management to trainers and coaches… it will cost an enormous amount of maintenance

“It's okay.”

Jinhee suddenly says when the marble expression is a little stiff.

“What?”

The marble replied, frightened.

“My parents said I could do this. Don't worry, I won't be burdened at home because of the marble. ”

“ ……. ”

It is Jinhee who has insight to go with her parents when it comes to marble even though she is like a child.

‘It's not reading……. ’

The marble grumbled lightly.

“The next stop is the Academy's last facility. ”

The academy was so wide, marble and Jinhee had no choice but to stick their tongues out.

Leading them both, the office was filled with computers. On each computer, a considerable number of athletes were pierced with sweaty clothes, ranging from the age of marble and Jinhee, to young men with big mustaches. And some adults who appear to be coaches continue to talk and talk with players in a frenzy.

“This is where you can see your form. ”

“Form?”

The clerk smiles and answers the question of marble.

I have always been proud to introduce the facilities, but today's pride is the best.

“Every coat has a CCTV. I use it to film daily training and competitions. Players are likewise free to visit here and check their forms. Files are organized individually by the employees here, so you can conveniently view only what you own. You can also check yourself with a variety of perspectives because the angles you take are different. If you have other players' consents, you can also refer to other players' forms. Mental coaching is also taking place here. ”

“ ……. ”

This time, marble was really surprised and lost his words.

It was not surprising how that idea was possible in this age.

The clerk gave a favorable look at the response of such marble. The last time I introduced this place, everyone was overwhelmed and fascinated. There is no such blessed environment for someone who wants to play tennis properly.

“Every facility I've introduced you to today, as I've told you, is an individual player's ‘free will.’ Anything you think is necessary should be asked of the coach or trainer by the individual. Of course, we provide a basic schedule, but no matter how we transform it, we don't interfere. Yeong-suk, Jin-hee. Tennis is about getting through almost everything on its own. So our academy represents autonomy. ”

“I see what you mean. ”

The marble nodded and agreed.

“Oh, my God, I'm so excited to explain, I must have said something out of the question. Seeing you reminds me of being a player... Haha. ”

“Did you go pro? ”

I opened my mouth as if marble was a surprise. Seeing him in an office, I thought he was open-minded.

“I was an unprecedented player who had lived in the 700th place……. ”

The clerk scratched his back head and smiled.

The marble hardened his face and thought.

‘There are hundreds of thousands of athletes who dream of playing tennis or dreaming of being on top. Depending on the circumstances... It all depends on how you get there. ’

The day's schedule was over, leaving behind the convenience of depression.
