Testimonial

"I’ve known Ernesto since he started coaching with us at Club Tennis Barcino, and from day one, he stood out. He brought a great energy to the team. Professional, positive, and genuinely invested in the players’ growth. He worked closely with some of our top juniors and wasn’t just focused on hitting balls, he took the time to understand each player, connect with them, and support their full development. What I appreciated most was his willingness to take initiative. Whether it was preparing players for tournaments or traveling with them to ITF events across Europe, Ernesto always showed up fully committed and ready to help them compete at their best. Beyond his knowledge of the game, he just really cares. He listens, he coaches with intention, and players respect him for it. Any program that values dedication, integrity, and true passion for tennis would be lucky to have Ernesto on their team."

Testimonial

"When we first met Ernesto, my son was a solid player but didn’t have a clear plan or structure to take his game to the next level. Our goal was for him to earn a Division I scholarship, and from the beginning, Ernesto understood exactly what that would take, not just in terms of training, but mindset, match experience, and overall development. Ernesto quickly became much more than a coach. He was truly invested in my son’s progress, traveling with us to tournaments, helping us build a realistic tournament schedule, and giving detailed feedback after every match. He helped my son understand his strengths, work on his weaknesses, and most importantly, believe in his potential. What I appreciate most is that Ernesto genuinely cares. He’s professional, consistent, and always focused on what’s best for the player. My son’s game and confidence improved tremendously under his guidance. I can honestly say Ernesto played a huge role in helping us get closer to that D1 goal, and any family would be lucky to have him on their team."

"Having Ernesto on our team at Ultra Padel Club was a game-changer. Even though he was with us for just a few months, the impact he made was immediate and lasting. He didn’t just come in to coach, he also contributed with everything we were building here. Ernesto brought great energy to the court and connected really well with players of all levels. Whether it was private sessions, group clinics, or intro lessons for new players, he always delivered with professionalism and a positive attitude. But what really stood out was how much he contributed beyond the coaching. He helped us organize and promote events, manage tournaments, and bring new faces into the club. We saw noticeable growth during his time here, and a big part of that was due to his initiative and the way he engaged with the community. He’s reliable, driven, and always thinking about how to make things better, both for the players and for the club."

Testimonial

"We came across Ernesto through a Facebook ad, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made for our kids’ tennis development. I have a 16-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old son who are both serious about the sport, and Ernesto has been coaching them privately for the past 6 months. The improvement has been incredible. My daughter has increased her UTR by 1.2 points, and my son by 0.8, and that’s in just half a year. But beyond the numbers, what I truly value is how personalized and thoughtful Ernesto is with his coaching. He doesn’t just run through drills, he watches their matches, gives detailed video feedback, builds training plans around their specific needs, and supports them through tournaments with care and attention to detail. He’s built a great relationship with both of them, and they really respect him. As a parent, it's rare to find a coach who’s not only professional and knowledgeable, but also genuinely invested in your kids’ growth and goals. We feel lucky to have found Ernesto and can’t recommend him enough."
