I’ve known Coach Nico for over two years, and during this time I have witnessed one of the best tennis coach I’ve been around with.u003cbru003eI, myself, have coached tennis for over 22 years now and with such a great experience watching pro after pro, one tends to see what make a great coach in private and clinic lessons.u003cbru003eCoach Nico has that enigmatic personality that lures his new students to want more, and his more tenured players, he dares them to believe in the impossible. His motivation skills are second to none and the way he transitions from adult to kids lessons is seamless and effortless. His strong voice can push you when you don’t think you can, and his humor will instill the fun in the game while you running down that cross court forehand to hit a winner.u003cbru003eThat’s how he gets you to think while strategizing to find a way to win the point.u003cbru003eFinally, Coach Nico will hold his students with accountable to high standards with their form, as well as with their effort in any given moment.u003cbru003eWe need more coaches like Coach Nico, and would be so lucky to have him guide us in the game we all love.

This is my opinion of my trainer Nicolas Giachino. I have known him since my days at Racquet Club of Irvine. I have been training with him off and on for about 3 years. So I am a competitive USTA 4.0 player and club player 5.0. Currently I am a Newport Beach tennis club member , but we try to train twice a week.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eWith his assistance I reached the finals of the Michael Chang tournament and I am currently a top 20 ranked player in all of California in 4.0 USTA. This Could not have been done without the assistance of Nicholas , who added over 15 MPH on my serve , prepared with mental toughness, and also makes each and every lesson exciting and fun.u003cbru003eNicolas has always been honest with his time spent (sometimes going above and beyond) and is a man of integrity. He is also available after sessions to answer questions or provide guidance during tournament matches.u003cbru003eI would Highly recommend with confidence Nicolas to lead any tennis facility.u003cbru003eYou can contact me at 949-233-9448 with any questions.

My teenage son, Zach (currently 14), had no previous experience with tennis but started taking lessons for tennis at the end of May 2021. His first love was soccer, but due to worries about concussions and other contact type injuries, I wanted him to switch over to tennis. Not knowing anything about tennis, we asked around and were recommended to OC Tennis (previously Wyatt Russell Tennis). My son was placed with Coach Nicolas Giachino for group lessons. I was really worried that he would not enjoy tennis but Coach Nicolas did a phenomenal job teaching him the basics and then building on new skills as my son improved on his game. Watching Coach Nicolas, I can see how extremely patient he is as a teacher, but I also love how he pushes my son to improve on his skills. He is great at motivating my son to do his best. My son’s goal, starting out, was to be able to get on the Edison High School tennis team and with Coach Nicolas’ help through group and private lessons, I am happy to report that he made it onto the team! I believe that Coach Nicolas has greatly fostered my son’s love for tennis and that it is something that he will be able to enjoy for the rest of his life. Coach Nicolas’ passion for tennis just truly rubs off onto those that he teaches and we will be forever grateful to him!

Nicolas is a fantastic coach. He deconstructs the techniques that I need to work on, and is super hands-on in terms of demonstrating them for me to follow. Would definitely recommend learning from him if you’re passionate or want to be passionate about tennis.

I’ve been learning tennis from Nicolas since I was in elementary school. Even after graduation, I take lessons from him because he’s an amazing coach! His lessons are always fun, full of energy, and are tailored to the students own learning style and pace. It’s always exciting to be on the court when taking lessons from Nicolas, who is such a passionate and talented coach.
