About Rob – The “RJ” in RJ Tennis

Rob Carvajal, Jr., the founder of RJ TENNIS BOOT CAMP™, is the director of Adult Tennis at The Four Seasons Tennis Club in northern Virginia.  For over 25 years, Rob has coached both tennis and springboard diving.

A former competitive diver, Rob knows what it feels like to stand on the edge of the board, willing yourself to leap backwards, and then twist, turn and somersault over the water.  He knows fear has no place in diving.  Fear and hesitation can lead to serious, life-altering injuries.  He motivates his divers to overcome that fear, achieve excellence, and win championships.   His record as a dive coach– 18 Virginia State Team Championships and 17 NVSL Division One Team Championships–proves his coaching style works.

Rob brings that same motivational and coaching style to his RJ TENNIS BOOT CAMP™, and has helped players learn to hit all out and play fearlessly, while improving their fitness, foot speed, power and mental toughness on the court.    Players have attributed their increased wins and their higher USTA ratings to his boot camps, and others have dropped up to 40 pounds in his clinics.  

Rob gets players from day one to hit all out.  He believes it is easier to learn to control power, than to start timid and try to get to powerful.  Like his divers, he wants players to be fearless.  Anyone in Rob’s boot camps will hear him shouting out, “JUST HIT THAT BALL! BE STRONG!”  Or, “LET IT ALLLLLLLLL OUT!”  Rob has developed his RJ TENNIS BOOT CAMP™ so you can lose the fear, lose the doubt, acquire belief and emerge a stronger player.
