Over the past 3 years, Raul has helped our three kids and myself elevate our tennis game. His emphasis on footwork and physical conditioning has made a big difference in the outcome. He demands discipline during on-court and off-court training. He takes personal interest in his students by making it part of his mission to develop their character, not only as a player but also as a person. He takes great care of our kids when they are in his academy, and treats them like his own.

I started training with Raul when I was eight years old. Not only did his exceptional knowledge of tennis allow me to accomplish my dream of playing Division-1 tennis at the University of Arkansas, but he also instilled in me important life skills along the way. He taught me hard work, toughness, and discipline. These are qualities that have helped me to be successful outside of tennis as well as on the court. Although they were not always easy to learn, he cared enough about me as a person to make sure I learned them. The coolest part for me is that a journey that started so long ago as a student and coach has evolved into an incredible friendship.

Two of my children take both group and private tennis lessons with Raul several times a week. He has an athletic view and a more complete coaching technique than any other coach with whom we have worked. My kids like that Raul pushes them to work harder and, as a result, their tennis has improved. Raul teaches them both physical training and conditioning, as well as the mental aspects of the game. He genuinely cares about the entire well-being of his students.
