Mark you vlog is awesome, your footage is great, your humour is hilarious and your so honest… it’s super refreshing so it’d be great to see more like this.
Great video and superb tips. Please do another video about the quality of the tennis classes. thank you

Thanks for letting us live vicariously through your experience!
Mallorca is one of the best tourist destinations all over the world. A pity you didn't reserve some time for visiting and going to the beach. There are lots of stunning "calas" (sort of little beaches between the mountains and the sea) you maybe shouldn't have skipped.
Yep Cala Saint Vincent’s is beautiful as is Playa Formentor
So cool! Great breakdown! Was there today!
Very nice video. Never even considered doing this to improve my fitness and tennis. Spain is amazing. Thanks.

For necessary items such as a bottle of Gin! 😂😂😂 Great Video Mark, I'd love to visit the academy someday.
Hey Mark, thanks for sharing. It was informative and the cost is good for someone from the States. If you're in an Asian country, the conversion rate is very high and travel expense is even more. Appreciate the reference. Good that you made friends and did your 5.0 level increase? btw, what is your UTR rating?
Very helpful review!!! Very interested in going but how do you get the Iberia flight voucher?
Brilliant information dude, nice work 👍👍👍
I went there last year and the hotel+coaching was €1.600. Since the two 2h daily sessions are just 120min apart, I nurtured myself with isotonic drinks and fuel bars. Btw, in my case I had breakfast and dinner included. A different thing is how much I spent at the pro shop. 😅
Great tips! I’m trying to plan a trip to the Rafa Nadal Academy mainly for my son.
Mark, seems you are still having some strong jetlag! 😅. You didn't have 11 hours of tennis, you had 11 sessions of 2 hours each, so 22 hours, bringing the cost per hour to 43 euros, which is very competitive compared to what is paid in USA.
I noticed you didn't post anything about the proshop that was where Nadal has his private indoor hard court, best proshop I've ever been to. Did you go? liked it?
I honestly recommend doing the 3 day package vs the 5.5 days, most people are not fit enough to play so much for so long. That can reduce cost at the academy and allow for more time to travel elsewhere. This is just my perspective though.
Thanks for the video, wish I go back sometime! Saludos!
Thanks for this comment and suggestions. It's cleared up a few things
How much were the 3 days w/ lodging?
@@cscummingsiv I went May 15-18 or so 2022, reserved like 6 months in advanced, it was basically 1,000 euros for lodging+ 3 days tennis, 12 hrs total (4 per day). Basically it was half lodge (4 nights) and half tennis.
Didn't like your reviews and videos but been watching the real tennis channel which I'm enjoying and you seem like a decent enough guy and play some decent ball.
I went to the Ferrero academy Equelite, Alcaraz's home base, last year in autumn. Its a lot cheaper but that Iberia voucher sure makes it attractive from the US. Obviously the RN academy is more expensive and more pro, I visited during easter last year, however I really liked the familiar feeling of Equelite. Nearby in Barcelona where I live theres a bunch of academies and the level is so high, however for the whole package and going away for a long weekend Equelite is worth it.
Youz high maintenance bro. Glad you had a very enjoyable trip
DJI would fix that drone for way cheaper. Understand if you need to keep filming and holding you over but I busted my mini 2 and it was like $100 to fix the camera, rotors and cowling
love this breakdown ,mark
Excellent breakdown. I hear being in a desirable chic party area of Mallorca runs up to 1K a night on some crappy rundown hotel room eesh. Sounds like you got a great deal relatively speaking
Love the breakdown, Mark.
Mark Did you have to register your drone? THX
Mark, how do you buy these sessions? Do you just go online and do it? Their websites is kinda confusing and doesn't say anything about the flight voucher
Don’t forget you had tennis lessons… which here in Nj is $125.00 hr .. I think over all it’s a great price considering hotel,lessons,flight ,food .. my question.was the lessons any good.?
Did you get the results and improvements in your game? I have been to many Academys and found little improvement. My areas for improvement were shot selection, foot work, more consistent back hand. All of these places seemed like a factory that have set drills. Very limited player assessment before you start. Very limited quality coaching or tailored drills to achieve the improvement desired. It is usually best to target your weaknesses with different specific quality coaches. Most coaches want you to improve just enough until the next lesson. Job security.
There’s no way you will improve in a 6 day tennis trip to a commercial academy that will probably assigned their worst coaches to recreational adults
Love the breakdown, Mark
Amazing video, very spectacular to watch
Thanks for your video. I have a question. How can I go from airport to the academy? Rent a car? book a transfer or there are trains, bus. Which would you recommend? Thanks.
from the Mallorca airport to the Nadal academy, I took a 45 minute cab ride from the airport. It wasnt Uber or Lyft... there was a taxi area outside of the terminal that took me
How did you get this Iberia Voucher? Upon reservation and sent by the academy? Do you know if they still have this agreement?
Great video and superintendent ideas
Love the break down mark
I'm a recreational player, 3.5 USTA, and am absolutely in love with tennis and addicted to it. I have the money, but would it even be worth it to go as a tennis 3.5 USTA player? Or is this mainly for people who aspire to actually become PRO.
Me and my wife has visited Nadal academy two times. And I can promise you that you will have a great time. The coaches will put you in a group with players at the same level as you. We had halfboard and we had very nice dinners every evening with people from our group.
You have both the money AND the time, but if you have enough of the first, you might be able to buy the second too...
worth it for improving?, no , you can get to 4.5 just with youtube quite easily if you practice, but if your a big fan, i think its great experience, take that as fun vacation, instead of paying 1.5k to go to the beach, you pay 1.5k to go train tennis in cool place :)
what about the cost for those 2 girls on the last day while partying ?
😭😭
That's a bargain especially since you have never been to Europe before. Plus you are a huge Nadal fan 🪭.
😂😂😂 LSD at the party too
@@jimclawley9117 mark does LSD ? i had no idea. is LSD PED ?
Is the cost for more high performance players higher?
Amazing review💯💯❤
How good is the coaching there ?
Good deal Mark, I was in France in 2014 or so and it as $1.40 to get 1 Euro, I spent $22 for a small salad it was crazy. Europeans were coming to USA to go shopping.
It's more like 1.1 exchange rate now. Maybe Europeans didn't like American money in 2014?
Excellent work
Thanks for sharing this video
I was in Mallorca a couple of weeks ago - I hired a car (Toyota C-HR hybrid) for 4 days for just shy of €100, so it’d probably be around about €130 for 6 days if anyone is wondering. Obviously, if it’s just for one person, you could go for a smaller (and cheaper) car.
Island is definitely worth exploring if you ever get the chance.
i dont want to get stabbed...
@@MarkSansait stick to the coastal areas and the only thing stabbing you should be sharp rocks 😅
Or challenge them to a game of tennis instead of a knife fight - the ultimate high stakes match.
Did your tennis get 5k better? If so how?
Very nice work
I thought the Iberia voucher only applies if you stay in academy hotel for a week? If you choose Airbnb you won’t get the flight voucher
that's right you have to stay at the academy hotel. Not an airbnb.
Were you able to see Nadal while you were there? Is it by any chance that you are of Filipino descent? Is it okay to visit the academy just to tour around and also see the Nadal Museum?
I did see Nadal. Parents are Filipino. You can visit the academy to tour and see the museum, yes
Very nice video great experience 👍👏
Did you have to obtain permission to video or use your drone to film at the academy?
Amazing academy🙌🙌
Amazing review
Nice explanation
Love your review
Very informative video
This vlog is amazing
Thanks for a very nice video 👏🎾😍
Great video 👍
Nice reviews
Pressing F to pay respect to your drone
Well played 👏👏
I went last year pretty much same dates, May 15th to 19th, 4 nights. I paid 130 euros per night tax included with breakfast as well. Mark spent 185euros. I did reserve in advance, 6 months before. I'm guessing Mark didn't guess with that much time and thus the much higher cost. I remember having look at cost a couple of months prior to my reservation and they were even less. My room was nicer too vs what he showed. 140usd per night with breakfast in Europe, to me it was very descent cost.
The training was basically same cost.
great work
This is amazing 😍
Beautiful performance
Assuming you make advertising $ from your UA-cam channel On an after tax basis your trip can be about 1/2 to 1/3 cheaper depending on your tax burden. Would recommend forming an LLC and hiring a CPA to advise you on how you can deduct business expenses for the content you’re creating for your business. Disclaimer: This is not tax advice
Strangely sounds like tax advice, though 😂
Good information
Nice tips
Beautiful place and view
Very nice video. 👍👍👍
Wonderful academy 👏👏
One of great player I have ever seen 😍
The quality of coaching is not related to owners fame! Price is absurd in european standards, you can get same maybe better coaching in any other decent tennis club in EU
Great job
That's awesome 💯
Very informative
Out standing❤️
Pretty awesome grounds 😎👌
Good work
Great video
Amazing!!!
Nice shots
Really great. Equipment
Telefonica is heavily invested by big asset/corporations companies like, Vanguard, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Caixa Bank and Black Rock.
Nice video 👍
What do you mean by “opportunity cost”? Do you not have paid time off at work?
Remember, this is America, where you have to plead and whine to get any time off. European serfdom emigrated and is still alive in the US.
Well done
Excellent 👌
Informative
Well played..
you have good experience
Outstanding
great video
Very nice video
Nice performance❤
The infrastructure looks amazing 😍
Excellent
Great city of the best moments or member ❤❤
Great performance
Do you not get paid time off from your job?
Opportunity cost is still present whether or not I have pto from my job.
@@MarkSansait No that's not how opportunity cost works... If you are a contractor who would not be paid because you took your vacation, then the opportunity cost would be the money you would be making had you been working. If you are a FTE, on paid PTO, then there's NO opportunity cost since you are still getting paid the exact same amount whether you take your vacation or not. In fact, if you have 4 weeks PTO and you do NOT take the full 4 weeks, then there's actually cost of NOT taking the PTO that you essentially already paid for.
@@majormajor9672that is how it works. Because I could’ve taken that 1 week of pto and did something else with it.
@@MarkSansait sure but that’s not really a financial opportunity cost
@@aja23136 unless he was doing a side job or making more videos that made money
Wonderful View taken by Drown cam
Excellent 👌👍
Amazing place😍😍
Perfect 👍
