Private Lessons & Coaches in Rock Hill, SC

I was born in North Carolina but moved back to Mexico when I was 2. I started playing tennis when I was 4, and by age 6, I was training with Guillermo Stevens, a former pro who was ranked 302 in the world. That’s where I started developing my game, played at a pretty competitive level, competed in regional tournaments throughout Mexico and the U.S., and eventually played in the Federación Mexicana de Tenis (FMT) 14-and-under division. At 16, I moved back to the U.S., still competing seriously. I later committed to play D1 for 1 year before I tore and dislocated my shoulder. The injury gave me a new perspective, and that’s when I started getting more into coaching and helping others grow in the sport.

My name is Tristan Catalano. I have been involved in music since I was very young. I have experience singing with a choir as well as producing albums. When I was 10, my father put a guitar in my hands and for the last 12 years I have come to be very fluent in all things musical. These days I enjoy passing my knowledge down to anyone that loves music like I do.
