Testimonial

Ricardo has helped tremulously throughout my tennis career especially during my junior and collegiate tennis years. During my time at the University of South Florida (USF), Ricardo trained me during my Christmas and summer breaks. He developed detailed training schedules and fitness plans to maintain and sharpen my skills for the next season. Ricardo has a very direct coaching style and conducts each session to the highest level of professionalism.
