The gap isn't talent.
It's geography.

6 out of 10 players in the world's Top 100 are European. That's not coincidence. It's the result of competing in the densest junior and professional circuit in the world, on the right surfaces, against the right opponents, every week.

What is it

A real base in Europe. Everything else handled.

Barcelona Base is a structured residency for players who want to make a serious run at the European circuit. You come to Barcelona. We handle accommodation, meals, courts, logistics, and everything in between, so the only thing your player has to worry about is their game.

Stay for 2 weeks or 2 months. The program adapts to your tournament calendar, your team structure, and your goals.

Barcelona is the tennis capital of Europe, with more elite academies and more top players formed here than anywhere else on the continent. From Barcelona, the European circuit is your backyard: dozens of ITF and Tennis Europe events reachable by car or a short flight.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT Families & PARTNERS actually say

From players across Europe to America to Australia — and the parents who support them.

Henrik Thorsøe Pedersen
Tennis Europe President

“Technical talent alone doesn't define a champion. The mental dimension of the game is where matches are truly won or lost. Our partnership with Mental Point reflects our ongoing commitment to providing member families with the most complete development resources available.”

  • Ekua Youri

    “With Mental Point our training is fun and useful at the same time. I worked a lot on my routines which really improved my game style. I will recommend it to everyone”

    Ekua Youri – Tennis Player (Botswana)

  • Viviana Turles

    “Mar is a true professional dedicated body and soul to improving the performance of our players. She has great time management skills, is resourceful, efficient, and very personable in her dealings with others. She knows how to delegate and manage teams. She is curious and highly creative. We are thrilled to have her on our team”

    Viviana Turles – Sports Coordinator, Real Club de Polo de Barcelona (Spain)

    Eddie Wetzel, Director of Winners Sports Products - Wilson representative (Argentine)

  • "Mar has been of great help in our family. She accompanied our son a lot during the difficult moments he has gone through, both in his studies, sports, and everyday life. My son is very shy and introverted, and she helped him open up and manage his emotions in tennis. She is an adorable girl whom you can trust openly; she has a very positive energy that she transmits to you. Other people I know work with her, and they all speak very positively about her as a person and her professionalism."

    Jolin. Player´s mother (Italy)

  • Daniel Tulgara

    “Mental point is really helping me to be a better person and to overcome obstacles. It is all about building a positive mindset, being free and confident. We improve every day by having fun all together”

    Daniel Tulgara - Tennis Player (Moldova)

  • Paolo Girella

    “Mar did an amazing pre-season job with our players. She brought mental skills and psychological techniques to our courts developing our team and taking them to a high level”.

    Paolo Girella - Catona Tennis Centre Director (Italy)

  • Jake Eames

    "Letour has been a partner with Mental Point since 2018, on and off court. Marcia and the team have successfully integrated, improving our academy players' performance and well-being outcomes through their teamwork, trust, passion, professionalism, and unique approach to the mental game – which is why our players continue their sport psychology sessions."

    Jake Eames - Letour Academy Director (Australia)

  • Kerem Bekir

    “Doing mental sessions with Mar has enabled me to improve my game both on and off the court by providing me with different techniques that I can implement to my game. Also it has helped improve my routines before, during and after a match”

    Kerem Bekir – Tennis Player (Australia)

  • "Working with Mental Point has been one of the best decisions of my tennis journey. I learned to embrace the process and see every obstacle as a chance to grow. We focused on building on the positives as much as working through the challenges."

    Oscar Rashed - Tennis Player (Switzerland)

  • "I’ve improved my emotional control by using breathing techniques. Tools like visualisation and pre-match routines help me feel more prepared and focused. I now approach competition with a clearer plan, stronger concentration, and greater self-belief."

    Harry Emmett - Tennis Player (England)

  • "Mar is not only incredibly professional, deeply knowledgeable but most of all a very kind person. She is honestly just one of the friendliest and most genuine people you could meet. Her ability to connect, listen and guide has helped our son to grow in confidence, focus and resilience – not just on the court, but in his everyday life too. It’s truly a privilege for our son to work with Mar, we feel really lucky that our paths crossed."

    Anna Emmett - Player´s mother

  • "My daughter has been working with Mental Point for over a year now. She looks forward to her sessions and has learnt a lot of skills that she has been able to put into practice on and off the court. I feel like she has grown in confidence with the support Mar has given her, which I really appreciate."

    Erin Fleming - Family member (Australia)

  • "We’ve had the privilege of working with Mental point for nearly two years. The impact on our family—especially our son—has been truly remarkable. Mar is exceptionally professional, deeply dedicated, and consistently attentive to even the smallest details. Her support has been unwavering, and she’s always available when needed, offering guidance with warmth and clarity. Her expertise and commitment have made a real difference in our son’s development, both mentally and emotionally. We’re incredibly grateful for her continued support and highly recommend her to any family seeking a compassionate and skilled sports psychologist."

    Amr ElDaly - Family (Australia)

  • "Tennis is much more than a sport: it is a school of life, where attitude and aptitude are the foundation for growth and self-improvement. On this journey, Mental Point supports José Jr in one of the most important stages of his life, guiding him to reach his full potential both on and off the court. Thanks to this collaboration, my son experienced an unforgettable exchange with an English player, leaving our home in Spain to spend a week at his home in England—an experience that allowed him to learn, share, and strengthen values that will shape his future. Because in tennis, as in life, every point counts."

    Jose Benito - Family (Spain)
