When Pepe Imaz is asked “who
are you” he answers “I am Pepe Imaz”.
He wants to mean that a person is
just that: one person. He doesn’t like labelling people or introducing
them with titles or achievements they have got. But undoubtedly it is
knowing something of him, so that people have an idea of how he is as a
coach.
He was born in Arnedo (La Rioja) in 1974. When he was
10 years old he had to leave his home to be able to combine his studies
and his great passion for tennis.
Technicians were very hopeful about his future as a
tennis player. As he was getting older the results on the yards were
becoming better and better but he didn’t feel happy at all. His anguish
and anxiety were rising, getting its high point at the age of 17/18. at
that time he won some tournaments, one of the most important the Spanish
Championship in pairs, but even though he felt miserable and unhappy. His
unease was growing because the pressure he subjected himself was
exaggerated, continuous.
At that time and until about 20 he felt near death. It
was because of that difficult situation he decided to ask for
psychological help and at the same time to find out and learn about
everything related to “mind” and “emotions”.
He chose the “way of books” and it was where he found
the help and the answers to understand what was happening with him and how
to “grow” to start from it.
It was then when “calm” and “peaceful” came up to him
and therefore to his tennis. And when his dream was coming true he gave up
competition. The reasons? Personal causes. He weighed them up careful and
consciously and decided to take another “way” with which he felt, he knew,
he was going to be happier. He was 23 years old then.
He spent more than a year reading and overcoming by his
feelings; until he decided to direct his life to the tennis teaching.
At that time he had again a serious problem which he
didn’t know how to get rid of. And once again he found a new “way”,
absolutely unknown for him and quite unusual in his circle. It was the
“energy of world”. From that moment on, his problem began to dispel until
it disappeared.
From then he hasn’t stopped being interested in that
matter in order to his own growth; on the other hand, he shares his
knowledge with the pupils he coaches as well as some professional tennis
and golf players. He shows the whole qualifications at psychology,
metaphysics, cuantyica, universal energy to players he works with and also
to daily life people in order to try to solve the great problem – he
thinks – that grips us so mucho: FEAR.
Nowadays Pepe Imaz is training an small group of tennis
players; besides he works the emotional aspects with elite players, booth
tennis and golf as well as with no professional sport people, just with
the only intention to share his knowledge and help their personal growth.
