Gaby T. – Academy Coach

Gaby was born in the US but moved back home with her parents to El Salvador where she picked up Tennis at a young age. Gaby trained with the country Tennis Federation and progressed to become their best player in the 16U age group when she was only 14.  Gaby had played Jr. Fed cup for El Salvador numerous times competing against the many countries in Latin America.

At the age of 15, Gaby moved back to the US in the Fall of 2016 to pursue higher level tennis and found herself training fulltime at NorCal Tennis Academy.

 

Hard work and a lot of it paid off, Gaby continued to raise her game pushing her UTR and USTA ranking higher. She quickly qualified to represent USTA Norcal in National Team competition in summer of 2017.  

At the age of 17, Gaby broke into the top 10 in Girls 18s USTA Norcal while finding herself going deeper into Sectional events and qualifying for National tournaments from L3 to L1. She also earned her first Professional point in Tampa, FL. playing the ITF Pro tournament. In recognition for her achievement, Dunlop sports America offered Gaby a Sponsorship for all of her equipment. 

Gaby earned a full Tennis scholarship at Saint Mary’s College, a ranked D1 program in Northern California.  She wants to stay close to our Academy and continue to pursue ITF pro tennis while in college.  When time permits, Gaby enjoys working with junior players to share her experience. 

Her business education really comes in handy for our academy.  Gaby is in charge of managing our day to day operation, from scheduling, book / records, program planning and a whole lot more.
