ICI was founded in 1989 as Tennis Consulting International, with the aim of offering a wide range of consulting services in the analysis, design, construction, maintenance and management of sporting facilities, as well as in the integrated management of sporting events. Faced with the growth and extension of what had started with tennis moving to other sports, Luis Mediero converted this company into the International Coaches Institute.From 2002 onwards, the International Coaches Institute started to function as an umbrella organisation for the different Professional Registries in order to help them develop and expand internationally.

As of today, the International Coaches Institute (ICI) has become the main worldwide organisation dedicated to offering education programmes, international certification and integrated professional services to professionals, instructors and coaches in the teaching of tennis, golf, padel, fitness and pickleball.
