PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program is the perfect showcase for living the experience of multi-activity sports, cultural, and a lot of fun for young adults who wish to explore American academic and athletic opportunities. Furthermore, the experience of living with an American family has many advantages, such as getting to know the American culture and how they live day-to-day. Another major benefit is the accelerated English learning, as the families speak only English, helping the player to practice in a real context. The visit to an American university will help them to better understand the higher education system in the United States. Lastly, the students will have the opportunity to visit and enjoy the best theme parks of the world. Students will be supervised at all times, and a contact is available 24 hours a day. All this with a one hundred percent devoted team to make their stay an unforgettable experience.

HOW WE WORK
Galindo Tennis International Academy, a subsidiary of GMG United, provides professional tennis training to students enrolled in the program. The Galindo Tennis Methodology is based on a strategic and innovative approach to the complete development of the athletes. Each athlete will go through the methodology and will receive customized and specialized training and coaching on and off the court, which will allow them to further develop their skills in a progressive and sequential manner. This sequential method optimizes the proper development of our students centered in an orderly, cumulative and directional path.

OPTIMAL STRATEGIC SELECTION
We will cover stroke production, supervised match play, competitive drilling and tactical sessions. Mental training, team bonding and self-motivation sessions will be part of their training sessions. Furthermore, we aim to best prepare the athletes for competition. The performance gap between the ability to hit shots in practice versus matches is a fundamental barrier every competitive player will have to overcome to realize his or her maximum potential.
Our training sessions will include:
TOP WORLD-CLASS COACHES

If there is any experience that has transformed me, this has been to be able to go to Florida with GMG United. I would go back with them one and a thousand times more. The best thing that I take from there are the friendships and the family. Material things are not forever, but the memories I have lived there will be eternal.
One of my best experiences has been to go to this unforgettable camp, where you meet incredible people, enjoy and learn every day from all the people that really care about you.
The summer camp is an incredible cultural, academic and athletic experience. In the same way, the experience of living in a host family is satisfactory because you feel like you are at home. Finally, the relationship that you achieve with coaches, players and the rest of the members of the program is awesome and allows you to meet people from all over the world and always learn something from each person.
