Former Memphis University student-athlete.

Current world ATP World Number 1 doubles player.

"I trained at Gosling for 4 years after I finished college and it was honestly one of the most enjoyable and rewarding periods of my career. There was a great group of coaches, fitness trainers, physios etc., that all helped massively in developing my game. But the best thing for me was the whole atmosphere and training environment. It felt like we were all a team and in it together and when it was tough, I felt like I had the best people around me to get the best out of myself and help me be successful. I will always be thankful for my time at Gosling."

Junior National Champion and Great Britain player.

Current Division 1 ITA student-athlete at Arkansas University.

"I started playing tennis at Gosling at an early age in the mini tennis Tarbes programme and was part of the full-time academy, throughout my tennis journey, gosling has supported and encouraged me to be the best player I can be. I always felt that my team from tennis, fitness and education believed and guided me to reach my goals. In my time at Gosling, I played for GB and England, won national titles, got to travel to so many countries to compete internationally and helped achieve a scholarship to Arkansas University, where I am now and have competed at NCAA finals. I enjoyed my experience at Gosling, will never forget it and will always look forward to going back."

Former Texas University student-athlete and GB Davis cup player.

Career high ATP ranking 215.

"After returning from an American university, I trained at Gosling for over 6 years as a professional player, where the team helped me to improve all aspects of my game and achieve many of my goals, including competing at Wimbledon and being part of the Davis Cup squad.

The facilities have everything you need to train at a professional level and the committed team of coaches, fitness trainers and physiotherapists have a wealth of knowledge to help you improve each aspect of your mental and physical skills.

Perhaps most important of all, was the team approach at Gosling and the fun that we had each day. In an individual sport, it can be easy to feel that you are on your own journey in tennis, but that was never the case at Gosling. All of the players of different ages and standards were happy to practice with one another, stories were shared and lessons were learnt from the whole team, and the coaches worked closely together to ensure the players were supported to an incredibly high standard. I simply would not have trained anywhere else during my time as a professional."

Current WTA player, career-high ranking 212.

"I trained at Gosling for 5 years and working with the team at Gosling was really important in my development as a player and for me personally. They created an individualised program for me that allowed me to identify my own game style and improve my mental skills. 

In my time at Gosling, the team helped me achieve a career-high ranking, won a 60k WTA event and play the Grand Slams including on centre court at Wimbledon."

Former Texas A&M University student-athlete.

Played Junior Wimbledon & grand slams, career-high junior ITF ranking 62.

Gosling helped me develop so much between the years of 16 to 18. I came to Gosling at 16 due to a left wrist injury and started working with Sergio Gomez, the head of sports science there. He fixed the injury and I’ve never had left wrist problems since. Then I started practising and realized what a great unique environment gosling was and I saw a pathway to the next level. I went from about 800 in junior ITF to 60 in my time at Gosling and played all four junior grand slams and gained a scholarship to a top 10 US college. This would not have been possible without the whole team’s Gosling and the training environment I was in. I will always be grateful for what Gosling gave me.

Former Duke University student-athlete.

Played Junior Wimbledon, career-high junior ITF ranking 62.

My time at Gosling and Queenswood definitely helped shape my junior and professional tennis career, as well as the person I am today. The level of professionalism, dedication, and care from the coaches, both in tennis and physical conditioning, was one of a kind. I would never have been able to compete at the highest levels and achieve an ITF Junior Ranking of 62 in the world, without the effort of my team, fellow players, and support staff at Gosling and Queenswood. I’m so grateful to my parents for giving me the opportunity to go there.
