The Coaching Team

Under Miguel Dios, eight top coaches work with the students to improve their performance on court.

In addition to a high technical knowledge of the game and steeped in the Miguel Dios ‘hard work but fun’ style of coaching, many of the coaches have their own areas of expertise which support the overall development of the players:

Javier Ibanez Head of Technical Coaching for the younger players, Javi is passionate about good technique and thoroughly enjoys teaching best practice to the youngest elites.
Javier Casau referees the Academy's tournaments and manages all the racket re‐stringing.
Miguel Martin manages the players' conditioning and fitness ‐ a key element of any athlete's development to protect against injury as well as promote strength, performance and stamina.
Pepe Alcantara escorts the top players to tournaments around Europe. He is at once coach, hitting partner and counsellor to the Academy's protégés.
Antonio Ruiz recently retired from the ATP Tour, is the hitting partner of the older players and technical coach to the younger elites. He was a student of Miguel Dios before the Academy was founded.
