Dr. Sunny Recommends: Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy in Fort Lauderdale
At Denteast, we truly believe that health is much bigger than dentistry alone. Health is movement. Discipline. Confidence. Emotional development. Community. And sometimes, the right environment and mentorship can shape a young person for life.
That is why we are incredibly happy and grateful to share this new edition of Dr. Sunny Recommends featuring Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy – one of the most respected tennis academies not only in South Florida, but in the country.
Founded by legendary coach Nick Saviano, the academy has built a world-class reputation through decades of developing elite tennis players, including Grand Slam champions, Olympic medalists, and world-ranked professionals. Players connected to the Saviano system over the years include names such as Sloane Stephens, Eugenie Bouchard, Madison Keys and many others who have competed at the highest levels of international tennis.
What stood out to us was not only the quality of tennis instruction.
It was the commitment to developing young people.
Every practice is an opportunity to learn discipline, respect, accountability, resilience, and how to handle both victories and setbacks with grace. In many ways, the lessons learned between the lines of a tennis court become lessons for life.

Tennis Champions are made in Florida
At this stage in childhood development, sports are not only about improving physical strength, movement, conditioning, or technique. Especially in an individual sport like tennis, children develop emotional resilience, discipline, confidence, focus, responsibility, and the ability to manage pressure and emotions. These are life skills that go far beyond the court.
We are extremely happy with the Saviano program, the methodology, the atmosphere, and the incredible coaching staff that helps young athletes grow both as players and as human beings every single day.
We would also like to recognize Coach John Sherwood.
Over time, John has become much more than a coach in Maxim’s tennis journey. Through the countless hours spent both on and off the court, the conversations, guidance, mentorship, and genuine care he provides, he has become an important part of our extended family.
What we value most is that the coaching extends far beyond tennis technique. The guidance includes psychology, emotional development, physical conditioning, discipline, work ethic, education, decision-making, and the many life lessons that help shape a young person into a well-rounded individual.
The drills, workouts, training sessions, and match preparation are certainly important, but it is the consistent mentorship, encouragement, and leadership that make a lasting impact.
We recognize and deeply appreciate the role John and the entire Saviano team play in Maxim’s development not only as a tennis player, but as a confident, respectful, resilient, and well-rounded young person.
For that, we are truly grateful.
Nick Saviano’s Method
What makes the Saviano program stand out is its long-term vision for developing young athletes.
The Saviano Method is built on more than 45 years of coaching experience and is centered around principles that go far beyond tennis itself. The program combines high-performance training, modern tennis development, discipline, personal responsibility, emotional resilience, and character building into one complete system. According to Nick Saviano, the goal is not simply to create successful players, but to help every student reach their full potential as individuals.
What we appreciate most is that the academy understands something very important:
A child’s development is not measured only by trophies, rankings, or tournament results.
It is measured by confidence, consistency, mindset, work ethic, emotional maturity, and the ability to continue growing through both victories and challenges.
That is especially important in an individual sport like tennis, where young athletes learn how to manage pressure, stay focused, overcome setbacks, and believe in themselves even when things become difficult.
You can feel that culture throughout the academy. The coaches are not only developing stronger players; they are helping shape stronger young people.
As parents, that means a lot to us.

For Some Players Tennis is More Than Just a Sport
A very special moment for our family recently was seeing Maxim win the Little Mo Tournament at the age of eight. He was absolutely over the moon, and as parents, seeing that joy, confidence, and excitement is something truly beautiful.
We want to give a special thank you to coaches Turan Kishiev and John Sherwood, as well as the entire Saviano team and everyone involved in this journey with us. Your dedication, patience, professionalism, and mentorship mean a lot to our family.
In today’s world filled with distractions, we deeply appreciate places that still believe in structure, growth, discipline, emotional intelligence, and long-term development.
And this is exactly why Dr. Sunny Recommends exists.
To celebrate businesses, educators, coaches, creators, and local visionaries who positively impact the Fort Lauderdale and South Florida community.
If your child loves tennis, wants to improve competitively, or simply wants to grow within a positive and inspiring environment, we highly recommend visiting Saviano High Performance Tennis Academy and experiencing the culture for yourself.
Thank you, Saviano team, for everything you do for young athletes and families in our community.
