I was lucky enough to grow up in a family in which tennis was a big thing. Both my father and uncle played tennis from an early age, and they were quite successful as juniors at Regional level. Furthermore, my uncle became a tennis coach and has been since then. He actually runs his own tennis club in Palma. He soon taught me the importance of working hard, and I would always work hard because “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work”.
Apart from tennis, I like playing any kind of racquet sports (specially ping-pong), football (soccer) and basketball. I used to play golf as a kid until I was 10 years old but I found it quite boring compared to tennis. Also, I had the chance of getting introduced to pickleball at my last overseas position in the Caribbean. I like spending time in the gym as it’s been part of my life since I was in College in the U.S.

Testimonial
"Coach Nacho has helped me improve a lot in tennis. He watches carefully and tells me what to do to get better. He's always active and shows me how to play well and think in different match situations including moving on the court and footwork. Nacho is really good at explaining instructions, so I understand everything easily. I think everyone who wants to play better tennis should learn from Nacho."

Testimonial
"I love playing tennis at the 4 seasons in Nevis. Exceptional instruction from Nacho over the last 4 months I visited to oversee renovation on my house in Nevis. He actually changed my one handed backhand for the better after years of lessons and clinics in New York and at other tennis camps. He pointed out a few things about my left shoulder turn and follow through that helped immensely. Very observant instructor." From TRO
