In 1978, Nick Bollettieri pioneered the concept of a tennis boarding school that combined athletic training and academic education into one integrated curriculum. In 1987, IMG bought the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy. Nick Bollettieri’s approach to teaching was so successful that by 1993 this comprehensive training approach was expanded to additional sports – golf, soccer, baseball and basketball.
