Mi história Francisco Bou
Nací en Burgos en 1979.
Empecé a jugar al tenis a la edad de siete años ya la edad de quince años me trasladé a Barcelona para asistir a una academia de tenis a tiempo completo. Quería mejorar todos los aspectos de mi juego y convertirse en el mejor jugador que fuera posible.
Aquí estaba yo con 15 años uno de los jugadores más jóvenes, entrenando regularmente con los profesionales que ya estaban en sus veinte años, tuve la suerte de pasar tiempo en diferentes academias y aprender muchos de los mejores entrenadores.
Y en el torneo de nivel ATP Challenger más tarde ese año? En Barcelona perdí un partido muy igualado contra el eventual finalista Nicolas Cutelot de Francia, 110 en la lista ATP por un marcador de 6-3 / 7-6.
Pero en lugar de mejorar mi progreso comenzó a estabilizarse. Yo a pesar de toda mi dedicación y esfuerzo, finalmente tuve que enfrentar la dolorosa realidad de que tendría que llevar mi carrera a su fin.
Pronto estaba viajando a través de Europa, compitiendo en eventos ATP Futures, y la gestión para ganar suficientes partidos para obtener mis primeros puntos en el ranking ATP en singles y dobles.
Para el año 2000 mi técnica y la capacidad era de un nivel lo suficientemente alto para algunos de los mejores jugadores del mundo para pedirme entrenar con ellos. Un momento memorable para mí llegó a Bucarest ATP cuando llevé a cabo este papel como sparring de Alex Corretja, que había derrotado a Gustavo Kuerten, Pete Sampras y Carlos Moya para convertirse en campeón del Masters ATP, número 5 en la lista ATP en este momento .
Francisco Bou Alameda es un gran entrenador, un entrenador que ofrece mucha calidad en su plan de entrenamiento,con paciencia y dedicacion. Sabe transmitir muy bien los conocimientos para que el jugador saque lo mejor de uno mismo y gracias a el pase unos de mis mejores momentos como jugador, sacando mi primer punto ATP
My son 13 years old kid has training at Francisco tennis academy in a last 12 months. During this time my son has improve, actually, everything: his tennis skills, his way to approach a game, his physical condition, his mentality.
Francisco was traveling with us at every tournament in Barcelona giving all the time good advice regarding the game. So we can see the results: My son start to reaching in the final at many tournaments and also win some of them, in Spain, Romania and Germany.
Thank you Franchi, we`ll definitely continue to training with you.

Trip to Barcelona was professional, fun and a great experience to be training like a pro on clay in the heat with other academy players. Loved Moli. Great atmosphere. Would definately do again.
PS Fran you were a great coach and you and your family a pleasure to be around.
Fran doesn’t just work with players on their technical game, he cares about every one of his players’ wellbeing, mindset and overall progress.
Fran coaches with passion and enthusiasm, always making sure to focus on the right areas and taking the time to speak with every player and parent. If things need tweaking, he will let you know in the most positive way.
Our youngest son has spent a few separate weeks with Fran in Barcelona and has really enjoyed it every time. There is good intensity, a good balance of tennis and S&C and some great clay courts to practice on. When coming back to England, our son feels a lot stronger. Myself, my wife and eldest son also practiced with Fran and learned so much.
I would always recommend Fran if you are thinking of training in Barcelona and we will be doing it again for sure.

I also found the Barcelona trip that I went on with Fran this year incredibly valuable and beneficial. I loved training in Barcelona and was training with him for 5 hrs day in the lovely Spanish weather. It gave me great exposure and international experience.
The coaching was extensive and I felt that my game improved a lot after that. I definitely loved that experience and I can’t wait to go again next year! On the whole, Fran is an excellent coach as well as a great person. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who loves tennis like I do and wants to improve their game.
Ryan’s comments
The thing I enjoyed most about the week was how different it was to what I would normally do in the UK because I don’t normally train for 5 hours everyday. I enjoyed this because it has helped me to improve my tennis and overall fitness. The tennis sessions worked well because the small group meant I was always hitting, either with Fran or other players. I really enjoyed playing against the other players from the academies and it was great experience to train and play on clay.
The days were very full which was good 3 hours of tennis and 2 hours in the gym.
I would’ve liked to do some more fitness on the beach because if found that very fun and challenging at the same time. Another thing I would’ve liked to do was a tournament because it would have been very interesting to play competitively against Spanish players. Overall it was a great week and I would like to go again. I wish that I was there for another week of training and maybe get the chance to spend more time at the academy getting to know other players.
Joanne’s comments
Really great experience for Ryan. Interesting to see how the academies are run and the level of players at the academies. Both tennis clubs were great, amazing facilities especially at Gimeno. The tennis/fitness split worked really well, definitely improved fitness levels through the week.
Couple of thoughts, more hitting with academy players and use the beach a bit more for fitness – something they cannot do in England. Overall a fantastic week, Ryan definitely wants to do this again.
Kind regards
Camran
This Summer I went to Barcelona and was coached by Fran. It was an amazing experience of 3 hours of non-stop intense and comprehensive training. Fran was a brilliant coach, spotting all the major and minor errors in my game and really helping me to adapt my game to different styles and surfaces. He also helped me become a more disciplined and composed player on the court as well as helping me expand my repertoire.
Thanks Fran!

We went on a personalised tennis training camp with Franscesco Bou again this year for 10 days which included participation on an ITF u12 tournament at Sanchez Casal tennis Academy.
Our son had a great time working daily on his tennis. He received 3 + hours of training. Hitting partners were arranged by Fran with local players. It was our second consecutive year of camp and it was again excellent.
His tennis improved and Fran was able to concentrate on specific goals and assess progress.
We would recommend this camp to all levels of players but it is important to be with players who have similar work ethics and goals.
