Karin Witte:

Physical trainer and Physiotherapist

Optimal coaching

Karin Witte is a well known physiotherapist, physical education teacher, as well as being a past top sporter! Together with Henk van der Pijl (manual therapist) and Jaap Baks (sport doctor), they form a perfect team, giving optimal medical coaching to the players of LTA.

Minimizing injuries

Karin has coached several top athletes up to / including the Olympic games of Barcelona in 1992. During the last years she has been involved in training and medically coaching several top tennis players. Because of her knowledge and experience, she is able to make an optimal training programme for every individual tennis player, leaving a very small chance for injuries. In coöperation with FTSA she has created a unique tennis specific training method. The main idea of this method goes two ways. To make progress, you first of all have to get the control over several basic skills of the muscular co-ordination. Experience teaches that many sportsmen, especially those in ball sports, have inadequate control of these basic skills. When this foundation has been layed, the sport specific physical training can begin. This training is aimed at strengthening the weak links in this sport specific pattern of movement.

Karin Witte: "The power of your weakest link defines how good you are.Do you want to perform to the best of your ability? If so, you'll have to be physically as strong as possible. I will find your weakest links and through that bring you to a higher level. This is my strength as a physiotherapist and trainer."
