Play Tennis at Blue Ash Recreation Center

I began playing tennis at the age of 7 in Colombia, often rallying with adults in tournaments since events were based on level rather than age. This experience taught me to embrace the underdog role in my early years. Continuing a family tradition, I started teaching tennis to family members, specifically my son. I encouraged him to join the varsity team and taught him cardio tennis, agility, and footwork. Watching him continue his tennis journey has been incredibly satisfying. With an analytical background and a master's in instructional technology, I bring a unique perspective and a strong foundation for teaching others.

"The lesson was quite helpful, especially with the focus on improving serve consistency, which I’ve struggled with before. Diego’s suggestions were practical and relevant, and I still feel like I’m gaining more confidence on court, though I think a bit more emphasis on footwork could help me improve even further. If you’re interested in steady progress, it’s worth giving Diego a shot.

I'm here to share my excitement and expertise in the game with you. With five years of immersive play under my belt, I've enjoyed the thrill of victory in doubles tournaments and led successful learn-to-play programs. Whether you're a novice eager to learn or an experienced player looking to fine-tune your skills, let's embark on this pickleball adventure together. Join me, and let's have more memorable moments on the court!

"Worked on serving, return shot, and strategy. Lesson was valuable. I look forward to continuing to work with Jon.
