Manny Gonzales
Tennis Pro
Manny Gonzales has been playing tennis for about eight years and coaching for the past four. He got his start at the Bakersfield Racquet Club, where he helped revamp the junior program, led adult and high school drills, and organized club socials. Since moving to the Central Coast to complete his degree at Cal Poly, Manny has continued coaching through private tennis lessons for beginner and intermediate junior players. Additionally, he served as a multi-sport coach for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District, leading teams in five different sports, and serving as assistant coach for Moro Bay High School boy's varsity tennis team.
Manny is currently working toward his USPTA certification. He is passionate about helping players of all levels develop their skills and, most importantly, discover a love for the game. He especially enjoys seeing players get "hooked" on tennis and having fun while improving.
Beyond tennis, Manny is pursuing a career in education and plans to become an elementary school teacher after earning his credential.
