Technical staff – High-performance tennis academy in Barcelona
The success of a high-performance tennis academy in Barcelona depends on much more than just on-court training. That’s why at NextPRO we have a multidisciplinary team of qualified professionals who support players in every key area of their development:
Physical preparation
The physical conditioning program focuses on developing strength, speed, agility, endurance, and mobility—all essential for high-performance tennis. Individualized programs are designed for each player, aimed at improving performance, preventing injuries, and supporting their progress throughout the season. All of this work is planned and supervised by certified physical trainers specializing in high-performance sports.
Sports medicine
The sports medicine department is staffed by physicians specializing in high-performance sports, who are responsible for evaluating the player’s health, managing training load, preventing risks, and diagnosing and monitoring potential injuries. Their goal is to ensure that every tennis player trains and competes in the best possible condition.
Physiotherapy and recovery
We have qualified sports physiotherapists specializing in injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, ensuring that every player trains in optimal health and performance conditions. Personalized recovery protocols are implemented to accelerate return to the court and minimize relapses.
sports psychology
Mental training is an essential part of our method. Our sports psychologists and coaches work on concentration, self-confidence, and emotional control, helping players perform under pressure, manage competition, and maintain motivation throughout the season.
Sports nutrition and dietetics
We design personalized nutrition and supplementation plans that support on-court performance and recovery, in coordination with our kitchen and nutrition team at Can Via Racket Club. The entire process is guided by certified sports nutritionists, adapting the diet to age, training volume, and competition schedule.
Educational program
NextPRO’s educational program allows players to combine official studies with high-performance training, thanks to a hybrid academic system designed specifically for high-performance athletes.
Students enroll in a school authorized by the Department of Education and receive classes in a blended learning format (online and in-person), with small groups and individual attention. This model ensures that players can progress in their studies without sacrificing the demands of their sport, maintaining a comprehensive, balanced, and officially recognized education.
Residence and comprehensive support
The NextPRO residence is part of the academy’s high-performance environment. Located within the Can Via Racket Club facilities, it offers a safe, family-like atmosphere tailored to the players’ training and study routines. The rooms are shared and air-conditioned, with supervised rooms and cleaning, laundry, and Wi-Fi services.
The residence team works in close coordination with academic tutors, the nutrition department, and the technical staff, ensuring a balanced environment that includes rest, study, and training. Furthermore, players receive daily supervision, schedule monitoring, and support with travel and extracurricular activities.
