Juanma is one of those people who knows when, how, and above all, what to say whenever you bring him a question about life and, of course, about what connects us most: TENNIS.
His way of communicating is always calm, clear, and positive. Every point he makes confirms the experience behind his words and the deep understanding he has of all the aspects a great coach must master.
As I have said many times, Juanma Esparcia is one of the best tennis coaches and sports consultants in the world. But most importantly — and I truly mean this from the heart — when you spend time with him, you realize you are in front of a great person. The kind of person who makes you feel heard, understood, and valued in every conversation.
So, beyond being an admirable professional, in my case, he is a great friend.
Congratulations, Juanma!

I would highlight his constant commitment to education, always seeking opportunities to continue growing and sharing knowledge, successfully bridging the high-performance environment with management, and transferring the expertise accumulated throughout his career as a tennis coach into the field of coach education.
I firmly believe that the foundation of excellence lies in nurturing talent from the grassroots level, and Coach Juanma’s efforts are a testament to this philosophy.
Now, after my experience as both a player and a coach, I realize that every training session helped us improve. We knew that every session he organized served a purpose—to make us better in some aspect of the game. Working with Juanma was easy from day one: his way of explaining the game and his endless patience ensured that every training session contributed to our improvement. From a technical standpoint, he is among the very best, and every minute spent with him was used to the fullest.
