🧠 Weight-Class Nutrition for Fighters
Cutting weight the wrong way ruins performance.
Many athletes starve and dehydrate themselves before weigh-ins, leaving them weak and sluggish on fight day.
With a professional background in performance nutrition, I help young fighters:
-
Drop body fat gradually – without losing strength
-
Manage hydration intelligently
-
Avoid last-minute crashes
-
Perform sharp, fast, and confident in their correct weight class
I’ve worked with professional K1 fighters in both middleweight and light heavyweight divisions – optimizing their training and nutrition so they can fight explosively and safely within their class.
💼 My Experience in Martial Arts
I personally trained in both Kickboxing and Taekwondo, and later supported elite-level athletes as a strength & conditioning coach and nutrition advisor.
This experience allows me to combine technical martial arts knowledge with deep insight into how to build real performance in young athletes – without harming their health.
🎯 Our Goal

About NextGen - Where Passion Meets Purpose

NextGen Athletics is more than a name - it´s
a mission to giude the champions of tomorrow.
At NextGen Athletics Academy, we believe that true champions are not just built through discipline, but through inner clarity, strong foundations, and genuine mentorship.
Founded by Pat Zie, a former competitive athlete turned holistic coach, NextGen was born from lived experience — not theory. Pat’s journey spans across track & field, Taekwondo, football, basketball, swimming, and later, bodybuilding and coaching. His childhood was marked by raw talent and drive, but often lacked the structured support that young athletes desperately need.
🏅 A Lifetime in Sports
As a child, Pat broke national records in long jump and was scouted early for men’s basketball teams due to his explosive athleticism. He played football at club level, trained in martial arts, and later competed in bodybuilding, ranking among the top junior athletes in Germany.
A knee injury shifted his path — but instead of breaking him, it opened the door to something greater. During his rehabilitation, Pat dove into nutrition, recovery science, and biomechanics. His passion for performance became a deeper calling: to help the next generation avoid the pitfalls he once faced.
He also trained in professional swimming, guided by a former European champion, where he honed not just skill — but discipline and flow. Every sport taught him something new — and now, that multidimensional experience flows directly into the heart of NextGen.
💡 More Than Just Training
NextGen Athletics is not just another training academy — it's a mission. A space where kids and teens receive the individualized attention, sport-specific coaching, and mental tools they truly need to grow — not only as athletes, but as confident, grounded human beings.
Whether your child dreams of excelling in football, martial arts, athletics, swimming, or basketball, we train with heart, structure, and soul.
“We Build Champions Inside Out.”
Because mindset, character, and resilience always win in the long run.
