ABOUT

GSET is a premier tennis consulting and training academy dedicated to developing young athletes through a science-based methodology that drives excellence. Founded by engineers who are also seasoned tennis professionals with ATP rankings as players and coaches, GSET brings an innovative approach to player development that combines engineering precision with athletic expertise.
Our team possesses extensive experience across all aspects of high-performance training. Led by Paulo César Pimentel, an engineer specializing in sports biomechanics for over fourteen years, and Gabriel Pimentel, a former ATP-ranked player with a background in physical education, GSET has guided players to success in professional tennis and collegiate scholarship programs across the United States.
By merging scientific insight with on-court expertise, GSET provides a comprehensive view of each athlete’s unique needs. Our advanced analysis techniques enable us to design personalized training programs, grounded in biomechanics, that deliver measurable results.
In fields like Olympic gymnastics, scientific principles have long been integral to athlete development. Tennis, however, often relies on replicating top players’ practices without fully considering their biomechanical or physical foundations. GSET bridges this gap with a methodology crafted and tested by engineers on the court, where we rigorously analyze performance to refine our training approach.
Elevate your game with GSET. Experience the power of a science-driven methodology and reach new heights in your tennis journey.
