"James has a strong passion and dedication in teaching me in tennis and pickleball. Anytime I call him to play he will not hesitate to accommodate me and help me improve my backhand stroke and adding some pointers to also improve my serve which is my weakest stroke in tennis.

With over two decades of experience on the court, I began my tennis journey at the age of 10 and quickly developed a deep passion for the sport. Throughout my junior career, I competed in and won multiple tournaments across the Philippines. My performance eventually led to being recruited by the University of St. La Salle—one of the Philippines’ top universities—where I continued to play at a competitive level. Five years ago, I transitioned into coaching, bringing my competitive background, technical knowledge, and love for the sport to players of all ages and skill levels. As a coach, I focus on strong fundamentals, smart strategy, and building confidence on and off the court. My goal is to help every player reach their full potential while enjoying the game as much as I always have.

Now he requests to practice and looks forward to improving his tennis skills - and he is only 6.5 yrs old. This very well attests to the Coachs training ability.
