About Dio

Dio Miranda is an expert on human movement and strength development. His experience as a professional athlete, educator, and lifestyle coach has helped him develop a fitness mindset program optimizing ‘the whole person’.  Dio trains both the mind and body resulting in complete fitness both on and off the court for our junior players here at Austin Tennis Academy.  His approach to fitness is the inclusion of all elements of one’s life in the road to healthier living, to keep habits simple and streamlined for achieving the most effective results.

Originally a Puerto Rican national, Dio was recruited by the University of Memphis (Lambuth) in Jackson, Tennessee, to play college baseball and went on to play professional ball.
