Founder Rohan Bopanna shares his personal journey, training philosophy, and the expert guidance that defines the coaching standards at his academy.

In this video, I share the vision behind starting the Rohan Bopanna Tennis Academy. My goal was to create a structured program with boarding, education, and a clear pathway from beginner to advanced levels, all to help nurture India's future tennis champions.

Trusting the process is key. I share a story from my own childhood and offer advice to parents on the importance of patience and trusting the coaches, allowing young players to enjoy their learning journey without pressure.

Having a role model can make all the difference. I believe young players need someone to look up to, which is why I am passionate about providing guidance and mentorship to prevent wasted effort and help them choose the right path in their tennis careers.

Answering your questions. In this AMA session, I talk about the importance of believing in the process and understanding that the journey to becoming a professional tennis player is a long one that requires patience and dedication.

It was an honor to address the aspiring young athletes at The Sports School. I shared my experiences and winning mindset to inspire them to dream big, work hard, and believe in their own potential, both on and off the field.

Personal attention makes a difference. I enjoy spending time on the court, personally overseeing the training of our young players and providing direct feedback to help them improve their technique and strategy.
