The turn of the year is always a special moment for me. A moment to pause, reflect on the past year, and at the same time look ahead. For Tennistraining Online, the past year was extremely intense and demanding, but also very exciting, with many highs, some lows, a great deal of work, and countless moments that will stay with me for a long time.
Tennistraining Online and platform development
As managing director of Tennistraining Online, my focus was not only on the continuous development of the platform, but also on several larger content-driven projects. One project in particular accompanied and challenged me over many months: the development of the Success Compass for Tennis Coaches.
The Success Compass for Tennis Coaches
Looking back, this project was far more demanding than I initially expected. A large part of the process consisted of repeatedly reading through the book from start to finish, reviewing it across sections, and rethinking it again and again. Chapters were revised multiple times, wording was adjusted, and content was critically questioned.

Details, control and a decisive mistake
A huge amount of work went into the details. Spelling mistakes, logical inconsistencies and transitions had to be checked repeatedly. Special attention was paid to the QR codes in the practical section, which were tested dozens of times and reviewed by several people. And yet, in the end, a decisive logical error occurred. The QR code was missing for two exercises in the practical section.
Looking back, this situation was above all curious and very instructive. Even though I had worked through the Success Compass For Tennis Coaches countless times myself, reading and checking it page by page, this detail went unnoticed. The moment this error came to light, when the books were already in production, was a major shock, as I could no longer correct it. To minimize the impact for buyers, the missing content was later provided via a free e-book.
