    About your tennis coach

    From my early experience in the sport of Tennis I have learned that teaching must be promoted from discipline and the joy of competing. I started playing since a was very young until l became a player with international projection, managing to be ranked 180 ITF juniors, participate in Olympic and Central American cycles, especially in the world-famous Davis Cup, adding some professional ITF tournaments alongside, where the best athletes in this sport are measured. Simultaneously, I reached a Major in THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO and played for the team, from there I have been able to experience the teaching of tennis, now I aspire to put all my experience, knowledge and preparation at the service of the community and young people who find in sports and tennis a healthy and productive lifestyle. I have a very high level of commitment on the court, especially with early stages of learning tennis, I promote discipline as a key tool in learning. I really like to work on the mechanics of the forehand, backhand, key tool in learning. I really like to work on the mechanics of the forehand, backhand, volley, serve, slice, footwork, and the shape of the ball. I have been worked with adults & juniors of all levels.

    I've had the pleasure of taking many tennis lessons with Rafa, and I must say, he's an excellent coach! Rafa has a deep understanding of the game, thanks to his experience competing at a higher level. His teaching style is engaging, and he's able to break down complex techniques into actionable tips. I've seen significant improvement in my game since training with him, and I appreciate his ability to tailor his coaching to individual needs.
    Luis
    I’ve known Rafael since I was little, we are both from Venezuela and same age. I witnessed him starting his whole process as a tennis player even before he jumped into international tournaments, I am very lucky to be his first lesson ever. Somehow it was funny since he was coaching me with 15 years old, back then, I knew that being on the court with him will give me a good energy and vibe, he taught me what to do before matches and after matches, taught me different routines during the matches and some technical stuff. I truly recommend Rafael, no because he’s a good friend of mine, because of his dedication and love for the game.
    Ketan Garg
    I'm loving my lessons with Rafael! He's an exceptional coach with a unique teaching style that really resonates with me. Rafael's expertise and passion for tennis are contagious, and I've seen significant improvement in my game since we started working together. His ability to break down complex techniques into actionable tips has been a game-changer for me. I'm excited to see how far Rafael can help me take my tennis skills.
    Santiago
    I saw Rafael playing in a college tournament in New Mexico, Albuquerque. I asked him if he could teach me a few days before he leaves college. What got me into asking him for lessons was the energy and intensity of his game, I feel his game style was the closest thing I’ve seen from professional tennis. I like the way he taught in my 2 lessons, but what I liked the most was his conversations with me, I knew this guy had an extended career and big knowledge about tennis.
