Personal Etcheberry Experience Agenda

Personal Assessment
Your Personal Etcheberry Experience begins with your personal goals and needs assessment by Mr. Etcheberry and his staff to determine what kind of shape you're in and what you need to do about it to maximize your golf talent.
Customized Training Program Development
Pat will then custom design a workout routine of drills and exercises customized for your specific skills and needs, and tailored to develop your strengths and correct your weaknesses. Each regimen is uniquely structured to accommodate how much time you have available to train, and what facilities and equipment are available to you when you return home (in-home gym, commercial gym, or homemade apparatus). Your workout routine will also take into account any distinctive physical strengths or limitations you may have.
On-Course and Gym Workout
Once you have been evaluated and Pat has designed your workout routine, you're off to the links and the fitness center to learn the specific drills and exercises you will need to help reach your competitive best. You'll also experience the degree of commitment that is required of all championship level athletes. Get ready to work hard!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be working with Pat privately, or will there be other people in my group?
Since each Personal Etcheberry Experience is customized to the specific needs of each client, most of your activities will be one-on-one.
Are there such things as a group Personal Etcheberry Experience?
Because of the highly individualized nature of a Personal Etcheberry Experience, Pat can only accommodate a maximum of five people per day. If you come with others as a group, your experience will still be individual. In instances where Pat determines that one or more of the group share common training needs, you may be working out with some of your friends and colleagues.
How will Pat decide what condition I'm in and what drills and exercises I need to do to get better?
The first thing Pat or Mike will do is test you in several critical areas to see how you compare to your tennis peers, and identify your strengths and weaknesses. He will also talk with you about your goals, your tennis and exercise lifestyle, and any personal physical limitations you might have. Then Pat will create your exercise and workout program taking you through those drills and exercises so that you understand the importance of each component and are able to continue your regimen when you return home.
How long will I be working with Pat and his staff each day?
Pat and/or Mike will be working with you approximately four hours each day of your Etcheberry Experience. They may not be four consecutive hours -- some people will need a break between sessions -- and the time spent will be shared between learning what your needs are, instruction on how to reach your conditioning goals, and appropriate workouts in the Fitness Center and/or on the court. Your exact schedule will be determined by your physical condition and personal time requirements.
I have read that Coach Etcheberry can be very demanding. Will I be working as hard as Justine was in the DVDs?
Justine and Jim and the other players you saw in the DVDs are professionals and Juniors with whom Pat has been working with for years. They are in prime physical condition. You will not be asked to perform at that level unless you are in that kind of physical shape already. Indeed, much of your Personal Etcheberry Experience will be learning what you need to do to get to those levels and how to do it safely.
My sixteen year old son is a ranked Junior. How can Pat help him move up in the rankings?
If your son is a competitive Junior or tour player, and sufficiently motivated and committed, Pat will be able to design a program similar to what he has done with pros like Justine Henin-Hardenne, Martina Hingis and other professional and serious junior players he works with daily. He would still test your son to identify his strengths and weakness, but the drills and exercises would be more demanding in order to take him up in the ranking and advance his career.
How much will I be playing tennis/golf while I'm with Pat?
Your Personal Etcheberry Experience is meant to get you in the best possible shape to succeed in the game of tennis, and help you develop the most effective techniques for moving on the court. While there may be times when you will be hitting the ball on the court, in terms of actually playing tennis, Saddlebrook can arrange private or small group lessons with their tennis coaches, as well as opportunities to compete against other players at the resort while you are there.
Since space is limited, how far in advance should I arrange my Personal Etcheberry Experience?
Pat is only available to take clients for a Personal Etcheberry Experience twenty-five weeks out of the year. You can check those dates on our website at www.EtcheberryExperience.com (click on Personal EE at the bottom of the page). Because space is limited to five people on any given day, we suggest you make your arrangements as soon as you know the dates you want. You can do this simply by sending an email to orders@etcheberryexperience.com saying you want to arrange a Personal Etcheberry Experience, and someone will help you book the dates you want.
How do I arrange hotel accommodations?
After securing dates for your Personal Etcheberry Experience with us, you can make hotel accommodations and arrange whatever other activities or services you want with The Saddlebrook Resort or several other hotels through a direct link on our website to those establishments.
My spouse is not into tennis/golf like I am. Will there be things available for my family to do while I am working with Pat?
If you are staying at the Saddlebrook Resort during your Experience, there are many activities and services available for wives, husbands and children to do that will make you envious of their vacation activities. Many are free, and others can be reserved when you are making your room reservations, or while you are at the resort. They vary from golf at the world famous Arnold Palmer Golf Academy, to workouts at the Fitness Center, to hours of pampering at the Spa at Saddlebrook. You can learn about all of the opportunities when you link to the Personal Etcheberry Experience page on the Saddlebrook website. The Greater Tampa and Orlando areas also have enough world class activities and attractions -- Busch Gardens is nearby, and Disney World is about an hour from Wesley Chapel -- to keep any family busy for weeks. Many are listed on the Personal Etcheberry Experience page of our website.
