Rafa himself acknowledges that the academy business is not an easy business and that many discouraged him from proceeding on economic grounds. ĭuring my visit I had the opportunity to speak with both Toni Nadal and the academy director Marc Gorriz. This is an impressive facility and also I believe a sincere, even heart felt effort on the part of Rafa, his uncle, and their associates to share their principles of player and personal development. Was this simply an effort to capitalize financially on Rafa's international fame? This summer on my annual trip to Spain I had a chance to visit and find out what the academy was like first hand.
