He was very nice and attentive, I trained for only a short while as I visited here from college, he took his time to really help me since I was a complete beginner, he taught me how to volley and do forehand’s instantly and I was able to fully understand and comprehend the tips, I felt very comfortable and excited to learn so quick, I would absolutely recommend Hector as he’s very caring and encouraging

Hector is awesome. He really knows his tennis stuff, especially when it comes to racket strings. Super helpful and patient, making each lesson fun. He breaks down techniques clearly and tailor his coaching to my needs. If you're looking to up your tennis game, I definitely recommend Hector. He’s got the skills to help you improve and the knowledge to geek out about tennis equipment too.

I have played very little and Hector seemed like a pro to me, I was able to start rallies after just a few minutes of coaching, and he’d give me advice as I played, I loved the energy on court with the encouragement and positive attitude. I 100% would come back but I live far, so any chance I get to practice with Hector I do,

I barely started and hector gave me a such a good environment to learn in, I felt so optimistic and confident as the session went as I saw my progress in real time, he was absolutely a amazing and wonderful person to have as a coach, I still train with hector and every time our sessions feel so short because of how fun it is

Honestly I’ve have dozens of coaches and none even compare to how Hector teaches, not only does he understand and know how to explain everything for pickleball, he is very patient and is caring enough to gift me a paddle and pickleball net for me to take back home since I live far, he’s the BEST

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson is primarily to introduce forehand and backhands and volleys to a player, teaching basic tennis points and helping players get a feel for hitting down the middle
Lesson 11+Reoccurring lessons will be centered around accuracy and mindset, by this point players mindsets are what’s going to help elevate their game, therefore I then shift my focus from technique to mental strength training
Lesson 4-10By the 6th lesson players will have a basic understanding of how to play a set of tennis and how to force errors and minimize their own mistakes
Lesson 2-3Players will be learning serves and how to play tactically, I will help breakdown strategies for rally’s and how to hit consistently

Youth players
Working with kidsAdapting lessons to each individual kid is exactly what I work on, I believe that each student learns differently and at different rates, it’s important for me to help students learn in a way that’s most beneficial to them, I definetly curate each lesson to be more engaging for kids since often times making the learning process more fun generates better results for tennis, and I have great drills and mini games for youth students, of course while teaching fundamentals of tennis, and I believe patience definetly is the key to helping any student, I don’t believe in rushing the process, I truly think at the start of tennis it’s most important to make the lessons engaging and positive while helping them learn new skills everyday

Working with teenagersI honestly believe teenagers are at a level at which they can compete at a high level, this means I do my best to start transitioning teenagers from playing more mini games to practicing with more points and strategy based drills during the lessons, at this stage I help students switch to more match play specific drills while sprinkling in fun mini games, and as students grow I become more tennis strategy and cardio focused as to best help them prep for highschool and in their future tennis career

What you need to bringAny athletic wear similar to running clothes works great for tennis

What I can bringI will bring tennis balls, and plenty of racquets to choose from
