I was lucky to have been born to very loving parents. My mother was an incredible housewife and a caring parent. My dad was a great parent, and as a former pro tennis player, he influenced me and both, my brothers, to have grown playing tennis too. I competed professionally, and at the college level. Though I graduated with a BA in Business Administration from Texas A & M, I quickly found out that I didn’t enjoy working in the corporate world, and decided to focus on being a full-time tennis coach, tennis was my first love, and it was really hard letting it go. As a tennis coach, my priority was to work on my students’ technique, but I soon found out that a very high percentage of the flaws that my client’s claim to have, were related to self-imposed limitations, self-doubt, negative self-communication, fear of playing loose, or some other kind of psychological block that prevented them from seeing and reaching their full potential. Through the small talk I had with my students, I noticed that in many cases the fears and limitations exposed on the court, would also affect them off-court. That’s when I started to pay more attention to the psychological aspect of the game, and I focused more on working not only on the technical part of my students’ game, but also on how their mentality affects their reactions, reflections, perceptions, thoughts, and all kinds of emotions while practicing and competing. It was easy to find out that what happens on the tennis court is easily comparable to life, the challenges and responses, dragging emotions, changing tactics, adapting to conditions, etc. and soon I found myself working with athletes, and non-athletes on how to shape, shift, and adapt your mentality to the conditions. The main goal of my website is to show you how just being aware of your surroundings and your thoughts can dramatically improve the way you respond to life on and off the court, and what to do to create the necessary changes in your mind.
