Our Coaching Philosophy
At Pontes Tennis in Miami, we develop athletes with character. More than technique, we cultivate discipline, passion, and a winning mentality. We train with purpose, seeking constant evolution on and off the court. You come here to grow.
More than technique, a philosophy with purpose
I come from Cuba, where tennis shaped me from the age of 4. The toughest years came between the ages of 14 and 18, when I almost gave up. But I was sustained by my family's efforts, my love of the sport, and the values it instilled in me: discipline, character, and humility.
Today, that story lives on at Pontes Tennis. I don't just coach players. I develop people. Because true development isn't just rapid… it's real, purposeful, and lifelong.
Building character on and off the court
I remember a student who, upon arrival, was talented but lacked discipline: he was late, got frustrated easily, and avoided challenges. Instead of pressuring him solely with results, we worked on building habits: punctuality, respect for the process, and personal responsibility.
I showed him that tennis isn't just a sport, it's a mirror. If you avoid challenges here, you avoid them outside too. Little by little, he began to respond: he organized his time, pushed himself harder, and stopped giving up when he failed.
Today, he's not just a better player… he's a young man with character. That's the power of well-guided tennis. That's the heart of Pontes Tennis..
Evolution beyond technique
For me, constant evolution on and off the court means each student advances not only in their game, but in their mindset, habits, and attitude.
On the court, it translates into cleaner technique, smarter decisions, and greater emotional control. Off the court, it's seen in daily discipline, self-confidence, respect for the process, and accountability in everything they do.
I don't just train to develop good players... I train to develop people who excel every day, in every aspect of life. That's the evolution that Pontes Tennis promotes.
The values that define us
At Pontes Tennis, coaching isn't just about improving your serve or backhand—it's about developing people with principles.
Mis valores fundamentales son:
✅ Discipline – The engine of constant progress.
✅ Commitment – To oneself, to the process, to the team.
✅ Respect – For the opponent, the coach, and the journey.
✅ Humility – To always learn, even in victory.

These values are present in every session, in every conversation, in every challenge. Because beyond the results, what remains is who you are… on and off the court.a
