June 12, 2016 - 21 more days 🛫

Today there are exactly 21 days left until I will be at Düsseldorf Airport, waiting for my flight to Frankfurt. From there, I will continue to Tampa on a connecting flight.

I don't know much about what to expect during my 2-week scholarship at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Camp at the IMG Academy. In this blog, I want to be able to document the events for myself and share them with others.

I received the scholarship through TravelWorks, for which I made an application video.

IMG Academy is a private sports school in Bradenton, Florida, USA.

The boarding school educates 12,000 athletes each year in academics and sports, including golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, lacrosse, American football, soccer, track and field, and cross country.

The Academy was founded by former tennis player Nick Bollettieri and was therefore called the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy from 1978 to 1987. Since 1987, it has been called IMG Academy because IMG acquired it.

Many well-known athletes have attended or are currently attending IMG Academy. In the tennis field, these include Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Tommy Haas, Sabine Lisicki, Maria Sharapova, as well as Venus and Serena Williams.
