THE COACH
BEHIND HR

Gabriel Hurtado Rivera brings a rare combination of elite playing experience and world-class coaching credentials to every court session. From ranking #2 in Colombia and an ITF Junior World Ranking of #183, to coaching WTA players including Ons Jabeur and Camila Osorio — Gabriel's résumé is unmatched at this level.

At UNCW, Gabriel made program history — 4 CAA conference titles (the most by any player ever), back-to-back All-Conference selections, and two seasons as captain. Now as assistant coach he has helped deliver 5 consecutive conference championships and a national ranking of #65.

DEVELOPING COMPLETE ATHLETES —
ON AND OFF THE COURT

01
Process Over Results
Daily habits, discipline, and consistency over short-term wins. Results are a byproduct of doing the right work, the right way, over time.

Individualized Development
No two athletes are the same. Training is adapted to each player's physical profile, learning style, goals, and competitive timeline.
03
Accountability & Ownership
Athletes take responsibility for their preparation, recovery, mindset, and performance — skills that extend far beyond tennis.
04
Health & Longevity
Injury prevention, recovery education, and intelligent workload management. Not just performance — career longevity.
05
Character Through Sport
Respect, work ethic, resilience, and leadership developed daily. Tennis as a vehicle to shape confident, driven individuals.
We are not just training tennis players —
we are developing high-performing humans.

SUCCESS STORIES

Results speak louder than promises. Every athlete at HR High Performance follows a fully individualized path — here is where that work shows up.

"

Coach Gabe has been an incredible blessing in my son's tennis journey. He is not only an exceptional tennis coach, but also a wonderful mentor, role model, and friend. What makes Gabe so special is his unique ability to combine hard work, discipline, and serious training with so much fun and motivation that the kids truly love every minute of it.

My son never wanted to miss a single day of training. Even when the work was hard, Gabe made it exciting, meaningful, and inspiring. The kids don't just become better tennis players — they also become more disciplined, confident, hardworking, and better human beings.
