Spotlight On Pablo Montesi

Meet Pablo Montesi, Tennis Club and Camp Director at Future Stars Camps, Southhampton.  This will be Pablo's 10th summer working alongside your children.

What was your favorite moment of the winter?

Pablo:  Running my Tennis Academy in Miami Beach, living next to the beach and the tennis courts are my 2 favorite things.

What are you most looking forward to at camp this summer?

Pablo:  I always look forward to having everything ready, every detail planned, meeting with our staff, and going through all our training. Making sure our campers have everything they need as well as our staff, so we can have another great and fun summer full of positive and unforgettable memories.

What is your favorite memory from camp?

Pablo:  I’ve got so many good ones, but one that made me really happy was when the whole camp was under the tent and I spontaneously told everybody that we were going to challenge other FS camps to be the loudest, most energetic, passionate, and most spirited group of campers and staff.  So I recorded them running around and everyone was showing their emotions, it was so memorable!

Which part of your job do you enjoy the most?

Pablo:  I love seeing kids having fun, smiling, and watching them progress. Being part of their growth and finding positive ways to impact them as a good role model, is my ultimate goal and it’s the most rewarding of experiences.

What are your hobbies?

Pablo:  Playing the guitar, piano and singing are my absolutely 3 favorite hobbies (although my singing is out of tune).

What’s your favorite comfort food?

Pablo:  I Love food, I enjoy all kinds, pasta probably is my favorite but I try to stay healthy (no carbs). Chocolate is my weakness.

If you could be the better at something, what would you choose?

Pablo:  Singing (told ya!).

What’s your favorite outdoor activity/indoor activity?

Pablo:  Tennis and Soccer. I also love skiing and ping pong.

What was the first thing you bought with your own money?

Pablo:   When I was 16 years old, I was in a rock band, we played covers and wrote our own songs. We participated in a contest in Santiago, Chile, the winner would receive $1,000, and we won!!  There were 5 of us in the band, so we split it and I bought a big guitar amplifier. I was ready to play at Madison Square Garden!
