Pat Etcheberry’s path to you…
A legend in the field of sports fitness and movement for more than thirty years, Pat's knowledge and expertise is
wide-ranging and has been since his days at the University of Kentucky where he was the trainer for all of the
university's men's and women's intercollegiate teams.
Etch to all his players, the name Etcheberry is synonymous with success in the sport of tennis, with Pat having
trained players who have won over 125 Grand Slam Championships. Names such as Pete Sampras, Justin
Henin, Jim Courier, Jennifer Capriati, and Martina Hingis are only a few of the champions Pat has helped lift
the victor's trophy. A former Olympian himself, Pat has also trained fifteen Olympic Medalists.
Pat also works with world-class champion players in a variety of sports, and designs and conducts clientspecific programs for top executives and Fortune 500 companies.
Pat has served for years as Director of the Etcheberry Sports Performance Division currently at the Mission Inn
Resort, and before that at the Saddlebrook tennis facility in Wesley Chapel. He has developed both world class
professionals and aspiring players as young as eight years old in sports as diverse as tennis, golf, football,
swimming and speed skating.
Pat's programs focus on improving overall physical prowess using unique training techniques he has designed
specifically to increase stamina and performance.
In Pat's own words, "I first ascertain what motivates each individual athlete. Through strengthening a person
physically, I believe they can also be strengthened mentally. I will work on an athlete's strengths, but focus even
more on their weaknesses as that's where there is the most room for improvement. Workouts are sports-specific
and intense. The training is such that anything they could face on game day couldn't be any more challenging
than what they have been through in training. Thus the body and mind adapt and respond appropriately at the
crucial moments. "—Pat Etcheberry.
