Victor Plaza

Starting at age four, my tennis journey has evolved from early competition to professional coaching across elite academies in Spain and the U.S. Competing since the age of nine, I reached a top 400 national ranking in Spain, played ITF Juniors, and participated in two ITF Futures tournaments. My playing highlights also include a 2018 state championship win with my team and a doubles ITA finalist title that same year.

My coaching career began in Spain in 2016, and by 2018, I joined Premier Tennis Academy as an assistant coach, where I learned from former pros Hyung-taik Lee and Michael Jessup. I further honed my coaching at MTB Tennis Academy under Oscar Hernandez and Salva Navarro, and at BTT Tennis Academy alongside Francis Roig. In the U.S., I joined the Tennis Club of Newport Beach and then moved to Palos Verdes to work at Tennis Power Academy, where I collaborated closely with Oliver Messerli. I also had the privilege of sparring with players like Jason Jung and Ena Shibahara.

Throughout my career, I’ve coached players from orange ball levels up to semi-professional junior players. I tailor each lesson to fit the specific needs and goals of my clients, ensuring a personalized approach that maximizes development and performance. Many of my students have progressed to collegiate programs, including Karl Lee (UCLA and USC), Eric Hahn (UCLA), and Alex Petrov (University of Illinois).
