I’m a former ATP singles and doubles player who transitioned seamlessly into the world of coaching over 8 years ago. My tennis journey includes years of playing college tennis, later on futures and challengers and as a coach I’ve had the privilege to work with high-performance academies and players across the globe.

For the past 3 years, I’ve embraced the role of a traveling coach, collaborating with ATP, WTA, and junior players worldwide. Throughout my coaching career, marked by transformations and adaptability, I’ve discovered the power of a holistic coaching approach.

Beyond honing forehands and backhands, I am deeply committed to creating an environment that nurtures improvement in every aspect of my players’ lives. I firmly believe that on-court success is a byproduct of cultivating healthy habits and fostering a growth mindset. Leading by example, both on and off the court, is at the core of my coaching philosophy.

My enduring passion for the game and a relentless work ethic drive my commitment to continuous improvement. As your coach, you can expect more than just guidance; you can expect a mentor who not only preaches the values of hard work and dedication but exemplifies them in every aspect of life. Let’s embark on a journey together, where tennis is not just a sport, but a vehicle for personal growth and holistic success.

Testimonial

I am writing to let you know my experience working with Juan Matias Gonzalez at our Tennis Club. I was fortunate to have Juan Matias assist me with my coaching programme during his time in New Zealand. Juan Matias was a real boost to our programme, thanks to his expertise coaching advanced level players as well as his own high motivation and ability to motivate others. He had a very positive influence on not only the players, but also other coaching staff. He mainly worked with competitive juniors - the players improved their skills as well as learning more professional training routines. If the opportunity came up to employ Juan Matias in a full-time role, I would not hesitate to hire him. Kind regards, Hugo Nurse-Strang
