Testimonials

Katie Ta – Brown University

I started working with NexGen when I was a freshman in high school, hoping to treat my constant back/hip problems that weren’t healing with months of physical therapy.

After working with the coach on my strength and agility, in addition to learning how to use my muscles efficiently – not only did my injuries heal, but my tennis improved tremendously. By the end of my senior year, I was ranked 22 in the country for my class year and 17 in the G18’s and under in So. California.

I’m now a sophomore at a University, playing competitive D1 tennis both in singles and doubles. Compared to the girls I’ve competed with around the country, my fitness and resistance to injury is still a huge advantage.

NexGen Athletic Performance program is a complete training center for the highest level tennis players in the world. Their coaches have been extremely generous to me and always found a way to fit me into their busy schedules.

Thank you is an understatement. With their unique techniques and knowledge about pretty much anything to do with the health of an athlete, they are among the best, if not the best – physio/doctor I’ve ever had.

Working with NexGen healed my injuries and strengthened me faster than I could ever imagine.

To everyone at NexGen Athletic Performance, you all are awesome!

Denis Nguyen – Harvard University

“NexGen AP has among the most positive and motivating coaches that I have ever worked with. They have really helped my tennis game reach the next level by making me more aware of my body and how to control its movement and actions. NexGen has taught me the importance of strength and conditioning in tennis which has allowed me to develop into a better athlete and competitor. I have always enjoyed working with them, as they have helped me grow in so many ways on and off the court.”

Max Pham – UC – Davis

NexGen has helped my tennis by isolating my weaknesses and drilling them specifically, while making sure I understand the application to my game. He is extremely knowledgeable of tennis and the science behind every movement and stroke.

Prior to working with NexGen, there was very little tennis-specific programming in my fitness regimen, and as a result there were a few deficiencies in my tennis athleticism.

Since working with him, I have gained much more control and awareness over my body, I am more agile and explosive, and my understanding of fitness has expanded. NexGen has been an integral part of my improvement and I really enjoy working with him.

Sydney Van Alphen – Former #1 Girl’s 18s (Marc – Sydney’s father)

“My daughter Sydney has been working with NexGen Athletic Performance since she was 9 years old. When I was younger I was always injured as my parents did not understand how important off court training was. Not only to become a stronger player but more important to prevent injuries. Although I researched many other options, I choose to work with NexGen because of their knowledge.

I’m very pleased for what NexGen AP has done for my daughter over these years, she is much smaller in size than most of her opponents but much stronger and she also has never had an injury. Without the coache’s strength and footwork training she would have never become one of SoCal top 10 ranked Girls 18’s at the age of 14.“

Jenna DeFalco (Jason – Jenna’s Father)

Jenna came to NexGen AP in October of 2014. At that time, she had some injuries that plagued her on and for about 9 months prior. NexGen coach initially worked on her core and leg strength for injury prevention.

Jenna has not had any issues with taking time off the court since we started. Her injuries have been resolved and she has been healthy. NexGen coaches are now working on her strength, footwork, agility, and her overall balance. Trainers also focused on her body awareness and getting the most out of her technique on the court.

NexGen coaches & trainers are extremely knowledgable about the off court training and how it applies to tennis in order to maximize your game. Jenna’s game has benefited tremendously with the work she has put in with Yasu. Her results recently coincide with her efforts with Yasu and she really enjoys working with him.

Judy Kam – Committed to NYU

I have been training NexGen for more than a year now and it has helped me tremendously with my movement, strength, and stability on the tennis court.

I initially went to NexGen because I had a bad elbow injury that was preventing me from reaching my full potential and we have since then resolved it by working on my core and glutes and using my lower body so I can learn to use more body, less arm.

Nexgen helped me go from a 3 star to a mid 4 star on Tennis Recruiting in a very short amount of time which helped me get many offers from colleges and get recruited to play for NYU(Stern School of Business).

What I like about NexGen is that they design specific workouts/paths for each player based on specific needs. Nexgen documents all exercises/weights done by players every session so they can push them a little further the next session and make sure they don’t backtrack with the workout intensity. Very nice facility with tennis courts right outside the gym.

Spencer Johnson’s Father – UCLA Commit

Thank you for all your help and support for Spencer over the past year. As you may recall, we moved out to Southern California in August of 2020 with the goal of giving Spencer an opportunity to compete more and develop his competitive tennis skills during his senior year of high school. The other big goal was to secure the right college for him to play tennis for. After being locked down because of Covid his junior year in Utah where we lived at the time, his training and competitive opportunities were cut short.

From August 2020 to August 2021 Spencer played over 170 tournament matches (almost triple the amount of competitive matches he normally plays) and with your help was able to stay healthy and gain more speed, strength, and flexibility during that time frame.

He progressed big time in his skills and his results reflected those improvements we appreciate the professionalism you both display in the work you do with athletes. I am also glad to report that Spencer was able to secure a scholarship to play for UCLA!

This is an amazing accomplishment for him and has helped set his career path as a competitive player in a more exciting direction. When he returns from his two-year missionary experience to Argentina he will be back to prepare for playing for UCLA! Thank you for all you have done to help develop Spencer’s physical skills and prepare him for higher-level competition!

William Griffith – Former #1 tennis player at Cal Berkeley – ATP Pro Player (#636)

When I first started working with Nexgen I was out of college and playing on the pro tour. I quickly became much stronger and fitter than I have ever been before and really transformed my body into the best possible shape I could be in.

They are extremely knowledgeable about all of the off-court training and how certain movements translate to on-court hitting. They were always supportive and encouraging about any exercise that was a little difficult and I really enjoyed coming to train each day.

They have an endless supply of knowledge and are always available to answer questions and further your understanding of the human body.

If you are looking to improve on and off the court, NexGen is a great place to train.
