#192: Real Tennis and the power of adamantine self-belief - Ben Ronaldson Head of Real Tennis at The Queen's Club


Listen Later

Members of The Queen’s Club have the unique opportunity to play Real Tennis on some of the country's most historic courts. The club, considered the heart of Real Tennis in the UK, features two courts housed in the oldest part of the Club, dating back to 1886.

Head of Real Tennis at Queen's is Ben Ronaldson, former n. 10 in the sport, who comes from the finest family sport tradition with two champions as parents, and  who has now extensively coached beginners coming into the game as well as long-time pro across other prestigious clubs in United Kingdom for many years.

In the exquisite Viewing Gallery located behind the baseline in rows one and two of the Centre Court North Stand, we have spoken at length of what the sport requires out of its players both physically and psychologically.

Champions seem to be crafted out of a special mould of discipline and talent, and you might be surprise that for as different as they might be as individual athletes enriched with their own personalities, they seem to be all primed not to see defeat, but only opportunities.
