PADEL TEACHER/COACH

My name Is Renzo Donatti, I am from Argentina, I started playing padel at the age of 12 at my father’s club, where I built a strong foundation and passion for the sport. In Argentina, I competed in the 2nd category, reaching a highly competitive level. I later trained as a coach with Nito Brea, one of the sport’s top references. Currently, I’m based in Miami, where I coach players and compete in advanced-level tournaments.

I'm Juan Rocha, a Colombian athlete based in Miami. I've had a racket in my hand since I was 4 years old, spending over 15 years competing in tennis before making the leap to padel — the best decision of my athletic career. The moment I stepped onto the 20x10 court, I knew this was the sport built for my game: creative, aggressive, unpredictable.

I'm currently competing on the USPA and FIP circuits, climbing the rankings and putting in the work every single day to reach the professional level. My goal is clear — represent Colombia on the world stage, break into the Premier Padel tour, and become one of the top players to ever come out of the US padel scene. This journey is just getting started, and I have no intention of slowing down.
