About Julian Téllez

If we are the stuff that dreams are made on, then my dream to become a professional tennis player defines me.

JULIAN TENNIS

Julian Téllez

I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley with a passion for the sport of Tennis. 

Ever since my dad took me to the Pierce College Tennis Courts one afternoon, I was hooked to the sport.

My love deepened as my understanding of Tennis grew. Tennis is both mental and physical at the same time. It combines all opposites like the Ying and Yang. Tennis is thus a metaphor for Life—with its lull and drama, its pressure moments and regulations, its disappointments and greatest victories. 

TENNIS IS A MENTAL GAME Imagination plays a key role

For this reason, understanding the fundamental role that the imagination plays —including how we think and visualize a match, a tournament, or a whole season—is of supreme importance to me.

Putting understanding into action, I use techniques of visualization and relaxation, framing and reframing, analysis and synthesis, as means to an end. The real goal is to deploy my attacking imagination on court; it is to find a way to win.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS The power of imagination

Mental toughness is not a gift, it requires as much work as the physical. The game is all mental; it requires thinking and imagination combined.

To visualize and see oneself enduring the toughest battles. To have the capacity to see things objectively, to think rationally, to deal with frustration and disappointment, to push forward against adversity—are the greatest strengths on the tennis court as they are in life.

As the source of all "belief" and conviction, I want to harness this divine power of imagination and reason to shape my dream into my reality. 

MEET MY COACHES

My journey through the sport owes a lot to the coaches who continue to work with me today at the PAC Tennis Academy and Ventura College.
