Welcome! I’m Yasiris Ortiz, a Latina professional table tennis player with an inspiring journey that has shaped my life and athletic career. I was born and raised in Bayaguana, Dominican Republic, where I demonstrated a natural passion for sports and learning from an early age.

My story in table tennis began as a dream come true. Since discovering this sport at the age of 13, I knew it was my destiny. Representing my country in international tournaments became my greatest aspiration, and with dedication and effort, I’ve had the privilege of carrying the name of the Dominican Republic to countries around the world, from Cuba to Canada, and beyond.

My journey has not only been about sporting achievements; it has also been a path of personal growth and commitment to my community. In 2018, I founded the Spin&Learn program, an initiative that combines table tennis with education and personal development. Through this program, I’ve had the honor of positively impacting the lives of youth and adults, teaching them skills both on and off the table.

My commitment to excellence and personal growth led me to move to the United States in 2016, where I faced linguistic and cultural challenges with determination and courage. I learned the language, continued my academic education, and found a new community of friends and colleagues who shared my passion for table tennis.

Now, as the founder and CEO of Spin&Learn, as well as the author of the book “Yasi the Champion,” my mission is to inspire others to pursue their dreams, overcome obstacles, and believe in their potential to achieve greatness in any field of life.

Join me on this journey of inspiration, learning, and achievement. Together, we can reach new heights and create a world where dreams become reality.
