Over the last 15 years, I have been fortunate to have worked with Sebastien as a player and as a colleague. He is one of the knowledgeable trainers in tennis and I have witnessed him first hand develop world-class athletes at all ages while building extreme mental toughness at the same time. Seb’s methods and training philosophies are second to none and I highly recommend any collaboration with him.

His energy and determination are contagious, his knowledge and experience are vast, and I appreciated them every single day at practice.
