BTA AND NEXT PRO: NEW COLLABORATION
Today’s blog aims at presenting to you our collaboration team - NextPRO High Performance Team, based in another facility of ours - Can Via in Santa Coloma de Cervello, just a 20-minute drive from our base in Castelldefels.
The key value behind our BTA programmes has always been a passion for nurturing talent and creating pathways to success in tennis through various levels of programme personalisation. NextPRO head coaches - Javier Degreef and Guada Perez Rojas are dedicated professionals committed to advancing tennis excellence through expertise and shared vision of training.
Our primary goal behind the collaboration with the NextPRO as our team in Can Via is to leverage the academy’s word-class facilities and training environment to further enhance our players’ skills and competitiveness.
We aim to collaborate with Javi and Guada to share insights, methodologies and training techniques that benefit both parties. We see this collaboration as an opportunity to build a lasting relationship through shared values, mission and philosophy of training.
Please see below the bios of Javier and Guada, which will help you to get to know them better and learn about their invaluable experience. Make sure to follow them on their Instagram and Facebook accounts.
