“The United States is a fundamental part of my life. My children Nicolás (20), Josefa (18), Lucas (13), and Jacinta (12) have developed and forged here. And my wife (Daniela) and I have grown professionally and as human beings thanks to the multiculturalism and dynamism of Miami. That is why one of my life missions is to give back to this great country all the opportunities it has given me and my family,” said Rebolledo.

On this occasion, his career takes him to Miami, where he once again stands out by being selected as director of the renowned David Ensignia Tennis Academy, one of the most renowned sports institutions in the country.
“I am passionate about sports education. My children and my wife play tennis, and being able to express that love for this discipline in the path of hundreds of children and young people is what makes me happiest. I know first-hand how sport improves the quality of life, in addition to strengthening self-esteem and dreams, and that is something that I want all children and young people in our community to be able to experience,” said the athlete, for whom social work It has always been part of his success.
“What I like most about David Ensignia Tennis Academy is that one of its development areas is intended for children with fewer resources. And my goal is to show that tennis is not an elite sport, it is a sport that everyone can enjoy,” he added.
