Antoni GIROD, expert in mental training

Tennis Mental Kit is a registered trademark owned by GIROD INTERNATIONAL SARL. The concept of the Tennis mental kit has been thought out and developped by Antoni Girod.
Every tool of the Tennis mental kit has been tested on court with a large number of young club players aged between 6 and 17 as well as with young players of international level. Besides, the exercises of the TMK method have been subject to educational adjustments according to the feed-backs coaches from different countries have gathered, in order to be easily fitted into the usual training programs.
