Private Lessons & Coaches in Katy, TX

My name is Roberto. I was born and raised in San José, Costa Rica, and I came to the United States nine years ago to play college tennis. I graduated from Azusa Pacific University (nation's top 10 NCAA Division II school) with a B.A. in Business Management and served as the team's captain on my last semester. I have also coached beginner and intermediate tennis players of all ages in Costa Rica as well as several collegiate dual matches. Regarding my playing history, I have played tournaments in over 10 countries, obtained a junior international ranking, and reached a ranking of #8 in Costa Rica. As of this year, I started coaching pickleball and the experience has been no different! Concepts are very similar and time to raise level is actually shorter!

"I appreciated Roberto’s patience and support. I felt encouraged through my lesson and gained some confidence by the end.

I’ve spent over twenty years studying and teaching the true mechanics behind a powerful golf swing. My coaching goes far beyond “copy this angle” or “hold the club like that.” I help golfers understand where power comes from, how speed is created, how rhythm is controlled, and how to remain mentally steady under pressure. My approach blends psychology, physiology, and physical mechanics with the principles of Taichi and meditation. This fusion helps players move with clarity, relax unnecessary tension, and generate natural, efficient power. My writing on this philosophy has also been featured in Golf Digest. Every golfer is built differently—different height, body shape, flexibility, rotation speed—so every swing I teach is uniquely tailored. I focus on giving players the tools to self-adjust and self-improve, instead of relying on rigid, mechanical “positions” that only work when perfectly copied. If you want to truly understand your swing—not just imitate one—I can help you rebuild your game from the inside out. (I also hold certifications with US Kids Golf and the Positive Coaching Alliance.)

"I never thought I’d enjoy learning tennis as much as I have with Coach Hridha. She has a natural gift for teaching and knows exactly how to adapt her coaching style to fit your level and goals. What I appreciated most was how she made even the toughest drills feel manageable and productive. She doesn’t just tell you what to do—she explains the “why” behind it, which helped me understand the game so much better. One memorable moment was when I struggled with my backhand. Instead of giving me generic advice, she analyzed every detail—from my grip to my posture to my timing—and showed me how to make small adjustments that completely transformed my shots. That kind of precision is rare to find in a coach. Beyond her expertise, she brings an energy to the court that’s infectious. She keeps the sessions light and fun while still challenging you to improve. Whether you’re a beginner or someone looking to refine your game, you won’t regret training with Coach Hridha.
