Tennis training near me
As a beginner, my goals for taking tennis lessons were to establish a solid foundation in the basics, achieve a cardio workout, and have fun. Horacio has not only helped me achieve these goals but has also made the process enjoyable and fulfilling. His patience and positivity, especially during times when I've struggled, have been invaluable. Horacio's professionalism and commitment are truly exceptional, which is not always easy to find in a new coaching relationship. I am very thankful for his training and highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their tennis skills.
We’ve not come across your quality of coaching in Columbus, Ohio. I’ve never heard my daughter so excited and appreciative of a coach after spending time with them than she has been with you. She very much needs what you are teaching her (technique and mental). I’d like to maximize the amount of time she can get with you so if we can get more time, I’ll take it.
