Testimonial

My name is Natalia Aruj and Mauricio de la Colina was my tennis coach from the age of eleven to fifteen. During this stage of development as a professional tennis player, she especially focused on tennis-specific coordinative movement technique to improve speed and power of strokes. The training sessions were focused on maintaining the intensity throughout it with different tactical objectives depending on what was required at that time to make my game more effective. In this way, each week of training was planned depending on the competition calendar. Mauricio is a professional with great ability to adapt to the needs of the player. He has the technical and tactical knowledge to help competitive development with key objectives at each respective moment. In addition, his punctuality and dedication to the profession are exceptional, creating an environment of professionalism and enthusiasm to continue learning and improving. Consequently, during my formative stage, De la Colina helped me achieve great results as a tennis player, such as: having been part of the South American Championship representing Argentina in 2014, reaching number two in the national ranking and number 12 in the Cosat ranking, having achieved several G2 and G1 in doubles and various participants in important tournaments in the United States, Europe and South America. Likewise, De la Colina has a great personality to teach values regarding sport such as commitment and dedication to achieve the proposed objectives. Competitive and training planning were consistent with recovery times in order to achieve effective and healthy development. He has the ambition to achieve new challenges in the short and long term, taking into account the qualities and needs of the player at all times. On the other hand, Mauricio helped me to have a better approach and understanding of tennis as a sport since I was able to understand during my work with him the importance of continuous work. Also, prior to each game he performed a physical warm-up in which we planned the strategy for it. Likewise, after each competition we make a summary of it in which we will analyze the things to improve and even those that could be done effectively. Mauricio de la Colina is not only a great professional but also a person with a passion for what he dedicates himself to and applies with each of his players the importance of creating a professional and comprehensive relationship in order to generate the greatest potential of the player not only in tennis but in various areas of life. One of the best qualities of the professional is the ability to communicate knowledge and transmit each step to achieve the challenge. Consequently, it is to this day that my hitting technique and movements on the court are recognized by different coaches from major NCAA D1 universities. Much of my knowledge about my skills and the development of them were thanks to De la Colina due to the shooting and tactical exercises during the rallies. Consequently, the professionalism of the training sessions gave results in my formation as a player. In this way, Mauricio de la Colina has been a great contribution to my development as a player. During four years of work I achieved positive results in the competition and outside of it. My appreciation for Mauricio's work is exceptional due to his quality and dedication in the process of my formative stage and understanding of the competition and the qualities required of him to achieve the proposed objectives.
