He obtained a trainer's degree and taught at the tennis club his brother Miguel was a member of in Manacor. The majority of Toni Nadal's coaching career has been spent with Rafael.

Coaching style Toni Nadal has described his coaching style as 'hard', saying that he occasionally puts too much pressure on Rafa, but that he does so because he wants him to succeed. When Rafa was younger, he would be nervous of having lessons by himself with Uncle Toni.

Calls for replacement In 2015, after Rafa Nadal lost in the second round at Wimbledon to Dustin Brown, who was ranked No. 102 at the time, former world No. 1 John McEnroe said on BBC Radio 5 Live that the Spanish tennis star should "get a new damn coach". Rafa had failed to reach the semifinals at all four Grand Slam events that year.

In December 2016, Rafa added countryman Toni Nadal was the first one to contact Moyá to see if he would be willing to join Rafa's coaching team, Toni Nadal had informed Moyá and his brother (and Rafa's father) Sebastián of his intentions. Rafa said he believed it was a good time for Toni to focus on projects like the Academy.
