KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Jan. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Patrick Mouratoglou and Epsom International School ("Epsom") announce the
launch of the Mouratoglou Tennis Programme at the Epsom campus in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia. The Programme is designed and overseen by Patrick Mouratoglou, Serena
Williams' renowned tennis coach responsible for steering her to 10 out of 23
Grand Slam wins and for mentoring and shaping the most aspiring athletes such
as Stefanos Tsitsipas, Coco Gauff, Holger Rune and Alexei Popyrin. The
Programme combines high-performance tennis, using the Mouratoglou Academy
methodology, and a world-class British education exclusively at Epsom in
Malaysia.
The Mouratoglou Tennis Programme in Kuala Lumpur will be the Mouratoglou
Academy's maiden overseas expansion as it relates to its flagship tennis and
school programme. A new purpose-built tennis complex encompassing ITF-compliant
outdoor and indoor hard and clay courts and dedicated physio and training areas
will be developed in advance of classes commencing in September 2022,
complementing the existing world-class academic and sporting facilities at
Epsom.
The Mouratoglou Tennis Programme at Epsom is a long-lasting partnership that
incorporates the core values of the Mouratoglou Academy in the South of France.
Students enrolled in the Programme will fully immerse themselves in tennis
whilst enjoying the best of a British boarding school experience. Student
athletes will receive a rigorous tennis coaching plan designed to reflect their
individual skills and aspirations for the future and participate in a
curriculum that delivers excellent academic results, promotes high-level
sporting involvement and allows them to cultivate a truly international
perspective by linking Europe to Asia.
Matthew Brown, Headmaster at Epsom explains, "At Epsom, our job is not only to
get our students to the finish line, but also to prepare our students to be
well-rounded, resourceful, culturally and emotionally intelligent individuals
ready to thrive and lead in a changing world. We help students to identify
their genuine interests both in and out of the classroom - when a student
pursues what they are passionate about, they gain purpose, are motivated to
learn and are driven to excel. The Mouratoglou Tennis Programme will give youth
players the opportunity to explore the duality between tennis, a highly
combative, mentally engaging and athletically demanding sport, and achieving
success in their academics."
Patrick Mouratoglou, for the last 25 years, has given equal importance to
tennis and school by developing a precursor system that helps children to be
successful on the court and prepared with all the necessary tools to live their
lives to the fullest. He strongly believes that tennis is truly a "school of
life" and that it teaches us hard work, perseverance and humility allowing each
student-athlete to display their true worth. "I am thrilled to expand our
pillar tennis & school program worldwide for the very first time, especially in
Asia, and to be partnering with Epsom, such a renowned school with a curriculum
in alignment with our standards. The mission of the Mouratoglou Tennis
Programme at Epsom Malaysia is to provide students with the best foundation to
thrive in both their academic and sporting careers," says Patrick Mouratoglou,
founder of the Mouratoglou Academy.
The Programme's coaches, all trained under the Mouratoglou methodology, will
pay careful attention to each student's needs and skill level to customise
individual training plans that are designed to harness each child's potential
to develop a strong and efficient tennis game. Open to students of all skill
levels from the age of 11, the Programme provides training rigour for those
aspiring to a future in tennis at the collegiate or professional level whilst
enabling the pursuit of an education at the best universities worldwide.
Ambitious student-athletes have access to a higher Education team with an
enviable track record of admissions to top global universities and personalised
guidance applying for NCAA tennis scholarships in the US. For more information,
