Hello Everyone,
My name is Quentin Maillé, a tennis coach from the south of France. I have a Bachelor's degree in sports with a tennis speciality at the University of Toulon in France.
After this I attended the University of Montpellier where I received further education about fitness training and about optimization of strength and speed qualities.
Currently, I'm a tennis professional in the french riviera during the school season and paddle/kayak instructor on the coast of Atlantic Canada in summer season.
It's an honour for me to join the Osten & Victor tennis Alberta Centre, a great place for the tennis players!
