My academy exists to prove that dedication beats excuses every single time, which is why I personally oversee our competitive batch development and curriculum. Building my own tennis academy at 21 wasn't just about business. It was about creating the kind of environment I wished I had when I was starting out. When I received the Red Shakti Award, it wasn't just for my wins as a player, but for building a space where players of all backgrounds feel they belong. My coaching philosophy is simple: we work hard, but we do not make training a chore. Whether you are a beginner looking to understand your forehand, or a tournament-level player needing intense basket drills and match simulations, the focus is on growth. We have two branches, one in Kaggadasapura and another in Malleshpalya, where my team and I run sessions that combine fitness, technique, and real-match strategy. I treat my academy like a family because that is what it takes to produce results. In just two years, we have produced state and national champions, which is my proudest achievement. If you want to train with someone who has been on both sides of the net, come join us. We keep things real, we push limits, and we make sure you earn every point. ## About Trisha Vinod I am Trisha, and I built my academy because I believe that if you want to change the game, you have to lead it yourself. I coach with the same grit I bring to a match, focusing on real results rather than fluff. Come train with me to see how we turn dedication into wins.
