"At first meeting, he seems like a caring and competent coach. This is all fake. He does not know how to build a positive team culture and makes poor decisions on how to use the resources he has on his roster. He is quick to make judgments without an adequate assessment of situations and also took a solid team as a head coach and drove it into the ground to have progressively worse seasons each year. He doesn't have any ability to actually connect with the players and motivate them."

"Well it looks like Coach Pedroso did not like the negative, albeit honest reviews so he LOADED a bunch of positive ones ALL on 3/3 (10 in total). Clearly, this action just highlights his deceitful nature. Look in the mirror "Coach"--read the real reviews and do something about it other than writing your own fictitious reviews. Oh, ok maybe he asked his current players to write some too--OF COURSE they will write positive ones...the coach holds ALL the power...guess who determines who plays and who does not and on which court?!"

"I travel with the team and personally witnessed this. At the 2019 NCAA Team Championships, Pedroso asked the player to lie to his father (who had traveled thousands of miles to see him play) and his teammates to tell them he twisted his ankle, when in fact he wasn’t injured at all. The asst coach and trainer both confirmed the player had no injury. UVA lost that QF match vs. Wake Forest and may have advanced to the semis had the player played. Pedroso showed no remorse or empathy to the player, his parents or the team. His lack of integrity and leadership is continuing to occur within the program. Parents, if you want Pedroso to teach your children to lie to you and their teammates, go ahead and send them to UVA. As someone else has commented here, you’ve been warned. Oh, and he won’t keep any of the promises he makes to you during the recruiting process either."

"Pedroso constantly and consistently displayed lack of ethical and integrity values...he reneged on promised athletic scholarships to multiple families. Can't be a trusted coach with his words! Must put everything in writing!"

"Pedroso only cares about the win. He knows how to turn on the charm and seems like a stand up guy on the surface, that’s only to gain the trust of the players and parents. Once he has a commitment, he turns into a win-at-all costs coach. Often telling players that they aren’t competing well because “it’s all in their heads” which is a coaching cop-out and results in players getting progressively worse because they think somethings wrong with their mental when they just needed a forehand fix. "

"Pedroso cares...only about himself. Our son buys what he says hook, line and sinker and does not see how he is being played. He discourages them from talking to their parents--"you get weird when you talk to your parents." This attitude has hurt our relationship with our son. And, Coach Pedroso promised our son he will play in the NCAAs...just to get him to come back for a fifth year...ok, sure...wake up! Also, be prepared to be asked to give scholarship money back. "

"Seems like a super nice guy and will promise you the world during the recruiting process. None of the promises come to fruition and BTW never trust a guy that says "trust me..." Oh, and he has no clue how to develop players. People erroneously think a recent UVA player who was there for only one semester and is now doing well on the ATP developed his game under Coach Pedroso. The truth is he had to leave UVA to save his game and desire to play from destruction under Pedroso's "guidance." "

"Coach Pedroso is untrustworthy and repeatedly engages in behavior that is dishonest and unethical. He is not the person or coach he appears to be, and he's destroying not only one but multiple (6 highly recruited players) families with his repeated unscrupulous tactics of false promises and fraudulent misrepresentation of the program. He's self serving and is not committed in mentoring and developing his players. If you have pro aspirations, choose another program. "

"Playing for GG is like running head first into a brick wall and wanting to do it again."

"Would not recommend. Ego. Narcissistic "
