I am an experienced international tennis coach with a strong background as both a professional player (former ATP ranked) and private coach. I have worked in Spain, Germany, Poland, and Saudi Arabia, and collaborated with top players such as Alex de Minaur and Marcel Granollers. I am currently looking for a new, stable and meaningful opportunity where I can bring my expertise and grow professionally, ideally within a long-term project that also supports my family’s relocation.
I am currently 39 years old, and I prioritize staying fit and active. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to me, as it not only enhances my personal well-being but also keeps me in top shape to better serve my players. I am also a proud father of two young daughters under the age of three. Balancing family life with my professional endeavors has taught me valuable skills in time management, patience, and dedication, which I bring into my work.

Coaching times & fees
Regarding my times & fees, I am open to negotiation, but they must always reflect a fair market value based on my professional experience and career trajectory. It is essential that any agreement includes excellent conditions that allow me to relocate with my family in a stable and respectful environment. Providing for my family’s well-being is a top priority in any opportunity I consider.
Further information
I am looking for a meaningful project that truly motivates me — ideally with a player fully committed to giving 100% to their development. I seek a professional environment where my long-standing tennis career and dedication are genuinely recognized, not only through the quality of the project, but also by providing a highly attractive offer that ensures well-being and stability for both myself and my family.
