I’ve trained with other coaches before, but Sebastián brings something different 👌. He’s super technical, but still makes each session fun and motivating. My footwork, timing, and confidence all leveled up. If you’re serious about improving, this is your guy

“I’ve worked with many coaches before, but Sebastián’s approach stands out. His combination of tactical insight and high-performance training elevated my match IQ and fitness. He knew exactly how to push my limits without risking injury. Thanks to our work together, I’ve improved my serve consistency and developed a more aggressive baseline game.”

“I signed up just wanting to try something new and didn’t expect to enjoy it this much. Sebastián makes tennis super approachable, even when I was missing every ball at first 😂. He keeps things positive and somehow I’m actually hitting rallies now. I feel way more confident.”

“Sebastián is not just a great coach—he’s a great communicator. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense and keeps every session fun and focused. My footwork and confidence on court have improved dramatically. Highly recommend him if you’re looking to take your tennis to the next level!”

Sebastián is the real deal. He picked up on my weaknesses fast and helped me work through them without making it feel like a chore. The way he explains things just clicks. My consistency and movement have improved a lot. Great coach and great energy 🙌

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I focus on building comfort and confidence. We start with a quick warm-up and then assess the student’s current athletic ability and coordination. I introduce basic grips, stance, and simple hand-eye coordination drills like drop and hit or shadow swings. The goal is to keep it fun, engaging, and positive while laying a solid foundation.
Lesson 11+Now the player is ready to play full matches. We shift to match play strategy, decision-making, and improving mental toughness. Serve variations, return of serve, and patterns of play are introduced. We build tactical awareness through situational games and weekly match simulations. The focus is on becoming a confident, competitive, and independent player.
Lesson 4-10By this stage, we develop consistency and confidence. We refine forehands and backhands, introduce volleys and overheads, and begin learning the serve. Drills like cross-court rally patterns, approach shots, and basic point play help solidify technique. Footwork drills and conditioning are added lightly. Players begin playing short sets and structured points.
Lesson 2-3We begin rallying with control using short-court tennis. I introduce basic groundstrokes (forehand and backhand) with focus on footwork, balance, and timing. Drills include mini rallies, cone targets, and cooperative hitting. Students will start recognizing rhythm and technique. We also touch on scoring and court awareness.
